Let me Tell you a little known fact about the ESPN/National Media...

[Kurb]

They fuging hate us.

We have played boring football with a boring coach and a boring owner for ....well for almost fuging ever.

We are small market and have failed to really show up big time in our Nationally Televised Games, and if we do we have beaten the "more popular" team.

Nothing about us helps them. So expect everything to be against us. They want us to fail and fail big.

For years we have harped on the "No Respect" train. Part of which is simple fandom gone crazy. Yet there exists some truths about such.

How many times has a national beat writer come out and said something CORRECT about the Panthers?

This is the first year we have been cheap, yet now we won't "pay" for a top end coach ?

With the Number 1 pick now locked in, they are going to do everything to try and make sure we stay at the bottom. I believe even so far as to bad mouth the owner/town/players on the team currently.

Fight the negative my friends.

From here until we are high end it's us against them.

SO fug em and fug em good.

Preach!!

[YourMomsLover]

Agreed...even in 2008 when we accomplished shitloads...they still gave the other team the edge, getting names wrong etc

[Jangler]

I guess the good thing is Harbaugh was here and knows a little about Charlotte and the Panther Organization.

[Herb]

Two words.... Rosario Dawson.

Jerry Richardson is really respeced in the NFL, but it is known he has not made the best personnel decisions.

Jerry is losing the fanbase as seen by the dumping of PSL's etc. You are right about ESPN, FOX, NFLN, CBS Etal.

Jerry has a very rare opportunity here. If he cleans house completely, Gets a GM in here like Charlie Casserly etc, spends well in Free agency and signs a coach like harbaugh and drafts Luck a Franchise QB, this all turns around really quickly.

Its right there for the doing, but the question is, will he do it?

[Kurb]

He does.

And I PRAY he is our #1 target for HC.

We need that kind of energy in this team/city/fanbase.

[Jangler]

Well she does have a nice ass and tatas

[Mr. Scot]

We paid kerry Collins.

We paid Julius Peppers.

We paid Dom Capers.

We paid George Seifert.

We paid John Fox.

The "cheap" thing is kinda silly.

Up until this year he has been an excellent owner.

Don't think short term this year only. Thats what THEY want you to think.

Anyone who is dumping their PSL's b/c of a single season of personnel moves is giving a real fan a deal on seats to the future.

[YourMomsLover]

They should keep their hate for "Appalachia" out of it. We will surprise them next year....but I'm sure they won't accept

[DevilCat]

How true......IMHO it's the old north-south thing (along with the points listed above). Most of the national media is HQed in the northeast. They reguard us as moonshine swilling, toothless inbreds, screwing our cousins.

[pantherj]

1 season of cheap as far as I know. The ball is in JR's court now.

[frash.exe]

and on this day every national media outlet let out a collective "fug" realizing we're the no.1 pick in the draft and will have to be talked about the most from the superbowl until draft day
