My sister is a nurse at a St Jude's out patient clinic. They have a 19 yr old patient who is dying. They do a lot of Make A Wish there, but he is too old (over 18). Still wanting to figure something out, the social worker asked his mom what he might want. She said that he loves Brett Favre and the Vikings. Great, the SW's husband is friends with someone who used to play for the Vikings. They contacted him. The former player, is still friends with a Vikings trainer...so they talked. The trainer said, "forget Favre....he is an ass, and will not do these things, but I know someone who will.....and loves to do this kind of thing" Not only did this kid get tickets (and great seats) to a Vikings game, Adrian Peterson wanted to know his size, Fed Ex'd him a package before the game that included a jersey and a signed football. The kid got to meet AP.

Props to AP. I am now a fan (unless he plays the Panthers).

Hope the investigation derails Favre's HOF aspirations. Can't be a bigger ass than one who will not help a dying kid. (This kid has tumors growing in his neck that respond to no treatment. He will smother to death when they get large enough. Won't be very long.)

To be fair, ladypanther, Favre never got the chance to respond. The trainer responded for him.

Trainer said he would not do these things.....because he has refused. That was his experience. Sounded like he worked out things for the kid....if he thought there was a chance of getting Favre...he likely would have tried. Favre has made his reputation. AP has a reputation of loving to help.

Let me just give you an example of when I worked for the Panthers. John Kasay would not raise a finger to do anything like that through the organization, and yet I saw him do something extraordinary for several youths outside of the organization. Some players just get burned early in their career and decide to devote everything to their own charities.

I'm not saying that Favre isn't an ass. Everything I've seen the last few years...his putting Green Bay in a tough spot, his behavior in New York, his diva like behavior in Minnesota...paints a pretty ugly picture.

Just saying be careful to judge in situations like that. I myself tried to do something for someone through the organization and was extremely disappointed in what happened.

I just looked it up. He has his own children/cancer charity called the Fourward Foundation and another favorite cause for women with cancer after his wife got sick.

Charities are a tricky thing, Ladypanther. We were not allowed to mention certain ones on panthers.com because our organization supported others that "competed" for those dollars. You would think that a good deed for a sick kid could just be that, wouldn't you? Unfortunately politics get in the way. Sucks.

Are those just tax deductions and good PR?

(We are learning how much he cares for his wife.)

No offense, LP, but Favre has NO obligation to do such a thing. It doesn't make him an ass. It just makes it too bad the patient didn't request a guy that does do stuff like that. Just because you're famous, it doesn't mean you have to help people less fortunate or people who are very sick. We may frown on that, but it's the truth. Welcome to America.

One of the Vike's trainers said he was an ass.

Players have what they have because of fans. Yes, I expect them to give back.

AP went above and beyond.

      Bleacher report not buying Panthers’ hype

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Well, everyone is a critic.  not much meat on the bone here in analysis but if the team needs motivation … lol   I have also heard a lot of talking head or two say that ‘Young is not in the same class as most of these teams and that in 12 of the 17 games he is the lesser QB   BR write up below  2025 record: 8-9 Last season, the Carolina Panthers made the playoffs for the first time since 2017. They won the division. Bryce Young made strides, throwing for 3,011 yards, 23 touchdowns and 11 interceptions with a 63.6 percent completion rate. Wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan won the 2025 Offensive Rookie of the Year award. In free agency, the Panthers signed edge-rusher Jaelan Phillips and linebacker Devin Lloyd to bolster their middling defense. Carolina can win with complementary football if the offense continues to trend in the right direction. In 2026, Carolina will play the AFC North and NFC North on a first-place schedule, which includes matchups against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles, Chicago Bears, Denver Broncos, and the Seattle Seahawks. The club will have a much tougher 17-game slate than it had last year, which may lead to regression. The Panthers aren't on the same level as the league's top teams. We'll see the gap between them and division-winning clubs from the previous season. 2026 projection: 6-11

      Panthers 2026 schedule

      If someone key is hurt and your bye week helps you by not forcing you to play without them, it is at a good time.  No way to know about that ahead of time.   I would concede that with 17 games and let’s say you are playoff bound, you would love to have it late

      Turk Wharton Neck Surgery

      Hate it for him personally and hope he recovers well. But honestly, reaching an injury settlement and moving on would probably be a best case scenario for the Panthers. This signing always felt like a desperate knee-jerk reaction to losing out on Milton Williams. Williams was a logical scheme fit while Wharton just wasn't. He's best used as a rotational interior pass rushing specialist in an even front. He's way too small to play the nose in a 3-4 and he lacks the length and juice to play the end. Healthy he's a nice roster piece in the right scheme at the right price but we overpaid him to play him in the wrong scheme. The signing just never made any sense to me and I said so at the time.
