I was in Vegas on business during 9/11. In my efforts to get back east after the flying ban was lifted, I ended up in Houston on a 5 hour layover. I was walking around the airport on the phone with the airlines when I saw this hawt chick sitting in a bar. I walked over and grabbed a table next to her. She asked me for the time and we spent the next 5 hours talking it up. She lived in Miami and I lived in Jacksonville, FL at the time. I ended up getting her number and she got mine. That next week I was in Miami on business so I gave her a call. My hotel was about 3 blocks from her condo. We met at a nuetral site for dinner, Hooters, and the rest is history. I spent the next year and a half making the 4 hour, 640 mile round trip drive from Jacksonville to Miami every weekend until I moved down there. 7 year anniversary this month.

Met my 1st wife through a friend, his wife's younger sister. Great girl, but we got married waay to young. Met my daughters mom at the Long Branch(a local night club) but never married her, crazy chick lol. Met my 2nd wife through another friend. They were dating at the time but you can say i "shot him out of the saddle" so to speak. Met my current girlfriend at Hot Topic, she was working there at the time and i bought a T shirt. We kind of hit it off.

a lot of positives from that story.. main one being it just goes to show don't be skerred, go say something. "No" is hardly an earth shattering response...

me and my buddies were on our annual motorcycle trip and for the first time ever, we decided to go out to Vancouver Island on the west coast. Couple of us were playing beach volleyball when my wife to be and her friend asked if they could play. We started chatting it up and afterwards she wanted to go for a ride on my bike. We hit it off immediately and we've been together for almost 17 years now.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
