Your Personal Experience Meeting A Panther

That guy lying about playing Cam in Madden got me thinking. What was the coolest thing you've ever actually done with a pro athlete?

Darius Butler isn't a big name but he gave me free tickets to a Panthers game last season. I follow him on twitter and he had some extra tickets to the game. They ended up being lower level seats in the handicap row so we could get out to the bathroom and concessions very easily. I never met him but I thought it was cool of him.

That's my best attempt at proof since it's guilty until proven innocent.

The other cool Panther was Ricky Proehl at Spartanburg. This little boy wanted to meet Stephen Davis and he just walked off and the kid was crying. So Ricky chased down Stephen and made him come talk to the kid.

So if you've had a really good or really bad run in with a Panther post it here.

was driving through the upper peninsula of Michigan on route 2 and a giant black cat ran off into the woods from the side of the road - and of course, it was late, didn't have a camera, etc... panthers aren't supposed to be possible from mountain lions so maybe I was wrong about the color, but no way that thing was a house cat, way too big.

I was in South Park once, and I saw Jason Baker. He was in a store, and my sister and I were walking in the concourse. I said "that's Jason Baker" to my sister. As soon as I said it, he looked right at us.

I think he was just happy to be recognized.

my wife met mike rucker in the airport during the offseason and got his autograph for me.

The kicker? It was the chicago airport.

Worked out at the Y next to Smitty one time, but he had his headphones in so no one would talk to him.

    • Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.  
    • They will still be a playoff team but they aren't contenders anymore IMO. They won't be able to spend like they have when they went to a SB and proved he couldn't carry a win at that level with a really good team around him. Now he is going to have to do it with less to spend around him. They just locked in to being a playoff bound team that's going to be a known speed bump for whoever will represent the NFC in the SB.
    • Hmm. I think he'll live up to it. Last year, about half of his team was on IR it seems, at one time or another. Year before, Super Bowl appearance. Year before that, playoff run after being third on the depth chart and being pressed into service. Is he one of the greatest in the game right now? Nope. No chance of that. Is he in the top 10 going into next season? Pretty good chance of that.  Would 20 or more teams in this league love to have the guy as their starting QB. Most likely so. He's a good QB who can implement his coach's game plan to a T and has both the confidence of and confidence in his teammates. That'll take you a long way in this league if you've got the right cast around you, and he does.
