CHARLOTTE – Inside the Carolina Panthers’ playhouse, today’s secret word is … juice.

"Dude. Juice is a great word,” veteran cornerbackCortland Finnegan said after Sunday’s NFC title romp over the Arizona Cardinals. “I don’t know where the hell you got that from, but it’s juice, man. They got juice here. And it starts with the coach and everything else and works its way down. It’s juice. We’ve got the Juice Brothers over there. “

Juice Brothers?

“Dean Marlowe and Lou Young,” Finnegan said, pointing at the lockers of two young defensive backs. “We call them the Juice Brothers because they bring the juice every week. So, you write ‘the juice’ and it just trickles down to everybody. It’s the Juice Brothers.”

This place is starting to make more sense. Hey, where’s the other Juice Brother?

“It’s Jacked Up Intensity Contagious Energy,” Young said.

It’s been an acronym this whole time? Screw it, I’m not rewriting.

“I want to say Uncle Rome – we call him ‘Unc’, Roman Harper – Unc came up with it,” Young said. “He said ‘Juice Brothers’ and then it just stuck. Yeah, like probably the beginning of the season. The juice is contagious. We bring that juice.”

So Monday through Saturday …

“Monday through Sunday!” said Marlowe, materializing again nearby.

OK, so if you’re not even in uniform Sunday … what is it you do?

Marlowe: “Oh, juice!”

Young: “Juice.”

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

So even though you’re not playing, you’ve bought into this as your role.

“Got to,” Young said.

You’re like the hype men.

“Yeah,” Young said. “And they’re grooming us up, so we’re doing what we’ve got to do.”

Two weeks to the Super Bowl now. Can you sustain the juice that long?

“WHAT?” Marlowe borderline-yelled.

“Yes,” Young said. “Nineteen weeks – the juice is not going to stop. It’s not going to stop.”

 

 

Hahahahahahaha!

Love it.

Also love that they call Harper "Uncle Roman".

Reminds me of Rod Smart and Jarrod Cooper. Only better.

The "juice" at my house is molly and a crushed viagra in a tall glass of scotch.

How is this not a thing that has been shouted from the rooftops daily this season??????

Love how the team & especially Rivera gives each & every player including the practice squad an important role to play. How the leaders have embraced that so everyone does too. Can you ever picture Finnegan talking like that in the Titans' locker room? Nope.
