Yea that Vikings postgame coverage was ridiculous. It was all about how 'the Vikings didn't show up today' and then it was Favre drama with Childress. Nothing about how we thoroughly dominated an '09 favorite on prime time. It makes sense to media outlets. Certain teams (and players) make more money than others so why bother with those that don't?

National Optimistic Panther coverage -> http://espn.go.com/blog/nfcsouth/post/_/id/16926/losing-doesnt-diminish-panthers-role

Jaw dropped when I saw someone defending us, especially because it's Yas.

Very nice read.....the Panthers have not lost their fan base and I can see it at every home game. As far as the media ignoring us; nobody wants to cover a two-win team (unless of course you are Dallas)....I can remember the '03 season and the mega-attention that we were getting on tv and the papers.

JR is in the drivers seat for an incredible turnaround but we will continue to be sub-par unless he comes off the hip this off season.

The media is giving us no respect and rightfully so because we have the worst team in the league this year, but they do give respsect to richardson as a former player. He did get alot of praise, well wishes, and respect when he had surgery not too long ago. We also dont have the history of these other teams like the boys, gmen and vikes. give it time. the cowboys buy publicity anyway.

We lost a nice chunk of it though...

I wish the national media/espn would get their facts straight about us for once instead of randomly spitting out stuff.

Let's look at the flipside.

Who gave an airborne rodent's buttocks about Indianapolis prior to Peyton Manning?

Now that he's there, the Colts are in the national spotlight.

Not saying that's a reason to draft Luck, but if he is drafted and he's a superstar, expect the Panthers to get plenty of national attention.

With the way our owner, GM, and Coach did their jobs this year, and how awful our players performed, I wouldnt cover us either. It was embarrassing.

1. Owner- Lets dump all our good guys so I can get more cash

2. GM- Lets continue to look like idiots trading and getting abused by the Patriots in the draft.

3. Coach- Lets sign a stay at home daddy, and not give our 5th rounder Pike a chance to play. We'll let the guy thats practiced for 2 days play, but not the guy who went through camp, and all the practices....

4. Players- Jeff Otah was supposed to be back for week 1. He allowed a twisted knee turn into a season ending injury WTF. O-line- we know how to do look out blocks. QB- Lets through checkdowns or INTS which do you prefer?
