Players don't represent teams in the HoF

I understand that they don't technically, but usually in their speeches and throughout the media hype up/ceremonies when they get into the HoF there tends to be an emphasis/focus on one team. The tweet up there showing a picture of Sam w/ a NO jersey is an example of that, and it should be a Panthers jersey/association considering his impact as a leader from day 1 when we came in as an expansion franchise and then the transition to coaching and his fight with cancer here and becoming the heart and soul and embodiment of the franchise, with Keep Pounding still being our motto to this day.

Agreed on his leadership and what he meant to the Panther Nation.  That said his impact in New Orleans cannot be denied.  Mills, Pat Swilling and the rest of the defense, especially the linebackers, put New Orleans in the Playoffs for the first time.  I'm sure you remember the paperbags and Ain'ts.  It wasn't until that defense came to be.  That New Orleans became relevant.

      I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50.

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
