My 11 year old son bought me this

Recommended Posts

My birthday was within the last few days and I just now found out that my 11 year old son emptied his piggy bank to get me my Cam Newton jersey (thought my wife bought it). Granted, it is the cheap one but how can I complain when someone that makes $5 a week in allowance gets me a present like this? I let him get on here, on the Huddle with me after I have filtered the "good stuff" but he is a true Panther fan and I had to give him an off-season post of his own. He set up and took the picture of the jersey and told me to post it tonight so I am doing it.

Bwood, Ivantheawesome and JtGreensboro, you guys are his favorites posters (no offense to you other guys).

He has become so excited about football because of this surge in Panthers popularity that he has informed me that he is going out for football this up-coming school year (he has always played baseball exclusively before now). He is pretty big so I hope he makes the team.

His mother and I paid him back btw, so now his Pig-account is back to over a C-note but I just thought it was cool and he deserved a shout out.

I know many of you will flame me but if you are a father that gets a $100 jersey from your kid, you would understand.

Ah man that's really sweet. Not a father but I know that shows how much he cares and looks up to you. Best of luck with making the team, no matter what I know he'll make you proud. Keep pounding little man, can't wait till you're old enough dear ol' Dad will let you have an account and come post with the big boys.

He loves the Panthers. He is obsessed now. And that jersey will never get thrown away. Like every father should think, I think he is the greatest kid ever. It was 3 days after the fact I found out he bought it on his own. I have to admit I cried a little. Not because of the jersey but because he gave all he had to buy it. I think I will keep him. :)

That is awesome!

I am a father. my almost twenty month old, and my adopted twelve year old. I'd never expect (nor want) them to spend their earned money on me.

so i can understand the shock. surprise, and pride you must feel!

congrats!

Thanks brother. I don't deserve it but I just about fell out when my wife explained the whole process to me. He gets the same treatment from me when we go to our first game, he just doesn't know it yet.

    • I was going to joke and have the Chiefs throw in 2 first rounders..... But as soon as the Mahomes/Bryce trade comes through we need to hit accept and have Mahomes on the very first flight out here; no negotiation needed lol.
    • It will be interesting this year to see if spending time with some of the best QBs and play callers in the league changed Wentz at all. I really think Mills is starter material. He wasn’t awful despite being apart of two dumpster fire seasons before Demeco got there. Plus he would have zero issues seeing over the line.  
    • I feel like for once every one of those guys held back. And I think there is a 5'9 100% attitude guy that they're almost hesitant to speak out against. This is the fact of the matter, it's sports. When you win, fans cheer. When you lose, fans boo. Especially consistently year after year with no end in sight. Instead of just talking about us being the Bible belt maybe talk about how we've never once in the franchise history had back to back winning seasons. We love the team, we loved and celebrated Cam and Steve, and even guys like Jake that we love not just because of talent but because of his spirit as the face of the team. But they all won.  Fans pay a lot of money on gear, and on these overpriced tickets to go out and see a horrible product. I've slowed down on watching games because I realized I was spending 4 hours of my day getting annoyed watching a consistently bad product. Outside of a few hopeful games at the end of last year Panthers football hasn't even been enjoyable to watch. When I flip the channel to a Ravens/Eagles game it almost feels like I'm watching a different sport.  I wouldn't just focus so much attention on the city, I'd ask based on the results are they justified.
