Anyone else going to watch the SB alone?

Nope.  We have some friends with whom we rotate the Super Bowl party annually.  It was our turn last year.  Just after the NFCCG ended Sunday night, I got an email from one of the other friends inviting us to their house for this year's party.  

 

I anticipate a joyous evening.

Might be the first time I watch a SB by myself, since I watch every panthers game alone I don't want to jinx it. Plus if god forbid the panthers lose I'm gonna have a total meltdown, I don't want nobody around.

Blasphemy! They shall not lose! I will probably watch alone so that I can freak the fug out when they do something amazing without the distractions of others who are just there for the commercials and hot wings. Then rewind, and freak out again!

I will.  Reason?  I do not want to entertain or pretend to be interested in what some fair-weather, wagon-loading, "fan" who has no friggin idea of the hard draft research, emotional sacrifice, and professional compromise I have put into that moment--the pinnacle of fandom, an event that rivals only the births of my 2 boys (now that they are Panther fans) and my marriage to my wonderful wife.  Nobody is going to skip into my moment with brand-spanking new Panther gear from Penney's because it is the next social thingy in town and pretend to sit as my equal on a sofa and make ill-timed comments about players whose name and complete professional biography he does not know.   If you are there for the food and the commercials, you are going to my hell and I will gladly send you there if you as much as think about depriving me of one second of this climactic moment by breathing the same air I am breathing--air only intended for those who are true and blue Panther fans and have been since before October----1995.

When I dont go to games I have a process to manage my nerves and it includes me watching the game alone on my screened in porch with a case of beer and a some cigars.  Only once was that process interrupted and it was the Atlanta game.

I wont break precedent or risk throwing off the mojo.  I plan to watch this game the same way I have watched every game.

I'm really debating this. I've been hosting a party for 16 years but I'm not sure I want to this year. My three sons will be watching with me but no one else I invite is a Panthers fan and I'm not sure I want the distractions this year. Plus, my brother and I have Skyped during every game but two over the last two years, not sure he will want to if I have a house full of people. Dilemma.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
