My 11 year old son bought me this

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.

Yessir! You're doing something right, pappa!

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.

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

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Winning culture trumps ALL.    Here’s my way to long take:  Last season this team started out breaking the sports books and being the lead pipe lock of the week. They finished by being a tough out for both SB teams.  I don’t think they’ll pick up right where they left off, but for the first time in years they’re on the legitimate upswing. Honest to God NFL talent has been infused.  Offense is already going to be good for 2-3 more 3rd down conversions (I don’t think anyone will argue that) a game over last year so I’ll go (very optimistically) 5-6 more points better than last year’s team. ADDED: A legit backup RB and a money WR who catches everything, along with 2 promising rooks. No significant losses (sorry Miles). KEYS: Can Dave bob and weave play calling if things aren’t working? Does protection continue to hold for Bryce. Did this team pick up dudes who know how to find the end zone or will the struggle of 3rd and goal continue.  Defense. If they can force even 2 (hopefully 3) more stops a game on third down (not asking a lot, hopefully more), that’s good for -4 (optimistic) points for opposing teams.  ADDED: legit run stuffers. Legit (appearing) edge guys. LOST: Clowney. Question: With legit 3-4 talent can Evero finally show what we have been VERY patiently waiting on? To me, EVERYTHING on defense hinges on Evero. Everything. Every position group was upgraded (still not good enough, but certainly improved).  Losing Brown early and Luvu… completely and utterly devastated the run defense. Luvu put up one of the best seasons at LB this team has ever seen. His under appreciation by some fans was criminal. He alone was our 3 down stop machine. Brown was pretty much it up front. Those 2 held RBs in check long enough for safety help to arrive.  Coaching: Halftime adjustments and no prevent defense. In a nutshell, that’s pretty much it. No cutesy offense to show off WRs/Bryce when it’s not working. Use your sledgehammers, Dave.  There is finally veteran leadership and legit NFL talent. It’s going in the right direction (I couldn’t have been more wrong last offseason) to build a winning culture, but teams have to learn how to win, especially the games where nothing is going right (this team has NEVER been able to do that). They will still lose more close games than they win, and that alone is where it all hinges.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      With his current level of play I'm quite content to not activate his 5th year option and let him walk away for free after year 4.

      Self described anti-Bryce dude wants us to fail to take a major step forward     Yeah that lines up.
