Where were you...

...when the Panthers played in the Super Bowl?

What do you remember about the game?

At what point did you realize the Pats would win?

Did you see the Janet Jackson thing and realize she was flashing America?

And finally....how sure were you that the Panthers would be in another one within three years?

I was 11 years old at a college Super Bowl party in AZ talking up some ridiculously drunk 19 year old. I lived at the college because my Mom was attending so I was there year round. Everybody knew me pretty much.

I remember the game was exciting but the food and tits were a little distracting.

Once Kasay rammed it out of bounds I kind of knew it was over.

Kidding me, the place erupted when JJ showed her tits. Frat boys are like that.

I thought the Panthers would go to it again the next season.

I was the only Panthers fan at a friend's party in Laurel, MD.

I remember just about every detail about the game.

I missed the halftime show because I was getting a beer, heard about it from somebody else but I didn't believe them, my friend didn't have DVR. I actually didn't find out that she actually flashed her boob until the next day.

I knew it was over when the corner(Reggie Howard maybe?) slipped trying to cover a deep out route and the Pats got a big gain to get in FG position.

I figured the Panthers would be good for a few more years but I never assumed they'd make another Super Bowl. I did think we would beat the Seahawks back in 05 though the way we had dominated the previous 2 weeks.

I was in Reliant Stadium in Houston Texas sitting next to my wife screaming my head off. Didn't see JJ's tittay since she was facing the other side of the stadium. The thing about Kasay's kickoff is that he did that warming up at halftime right before the 3rd quarter started. I thought "Uh-oh, that's not good." Greatest moment for me was the 85 yard pass to Moose. I saw Jake heave that ball and looked downfield and Moose was a yard or so away from the defender. It was the most nerve wracking 3-5 seconds waiting to see if he would catch that ball. Most expensive 3 day trip of my life. I've been to one SuperBowl and doubt I will go to another. But I think the Panthers will win one while Cam is QB.

I was watching the game with my roommate and my neighbor, at my neighbors apartment in Boone.

I saw the Janet nipple, while no one else in the room did and they didn't believe me when I told them.

I was pretty devastated at the end of the game.

I was in California in training. I was the only Panther fan there, being a military training base there were fans of a bunch of different teams, I was the only one that thought the Panthers would win. I knew it was over when Vinateri hit his FG (I had faith in the defense even after the kick out of bounds). I missed the JJ thing cuz I was outside smoking. I wasn't sure when the Panthers would go back, parity can be a bitch sometimes.

I was in Camp Casey Korea. I thought Panthers would win after Muhammed scored on that long pass play from Delhomme and knew the lost after Kasay's kick. I didn't see nor cared about Janet Jackson. I wasn't sure because getting to the Superbowl is hard enough.

At a SB party here in Charlotte.

Mainly, the ending and Kasay's choke. Also the record for longest pass in a SB.

Soon as Kasay choked. That kind of momentum to a QB Brady said after the game "The most tiring game I have ever played", just couldnt be taken back,

Yes I did, but she is ugly as fug so its a bittersweet thing cause her body is decent.

I never felt we would make it again. We got real close a year after (losing to seahawks?), closer than I ever thought. I never liked Delhomme like so many though, I knowhe had heart and could sling it but I couldn't see multiple SBs or some kinf of 'dynasty' with him, always felt like something was always lacking with the QB position.

    • Congratulations do they know who the father is?
    • In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.
    • Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
