I am a big fat Liar

Hey guys!

My name is Aaron. I'm a life-long Broncos fan & season ticket holder from Aurora, Colorado. I just had to register so I could share a great story with Panthers fans.

I'm in my mid 40's & have a 10 year old son. Mid-way through the 2010 season I decided to start a tradition to have some quality time with him. We travel to any road game that is a city we haven't visited. Then on Denver's bye week he chooses a city we haven't been to & we go there. Sunday's game will be the 9th stadium we've seen. My goal is to have watched a game in all 32 stadiums with him before he graduates high school.

We flew into Charlotte on Thursday morning. I try to travel on Thursday or Friday so we get to spend a few days exploring each city. This evening for dinner we went to The Palm Restaurant. My son & I were standing outside when Steve Smith & his wife walked out. Immediately people walking by stopped to take pictures & say hello. To my surprise not only did he not rush off, he stood around & interacted with everyone. I was hanging away from the crowd to try & get an autograph for my son when he walked by. There were probably a dozen or so people, mostly men, standing on the sidewalk taking his picture & talking to him. Steve was very friendly & genuine. He chatted with fans for about 5 minutes, talking about everything from football to tv shows.

Then it happened. A grown man came running up to him with a Panthers jersey & asked him to sign it. Steve went off & said a few expletives to the man. Steve told him that he didn't sign autographs & to get the *expletive* out of his face. Wow, talk about an intense little man! Steve then said "take it easy guys" & began to walk away with his wife.

Then it happened, again. Steve walked by my son & I, who both had on our Broncos gear, then turned around. He walked right up to my son, introduced himself, & shook his hand. Steve asked him if we were visiting or locals & if we would be at the game. He then asked my son some questions such as his name, favorite Broncos players, etc. Then he kneeled down, pulled out a sharpie, signed the Panthers hat he was wearing, & handed it to my son. He then offered to pose for a picture with both of us. After a quick photo Steve bumped fists with my son, gave him a big smile, patted him on the back, & told him to have fun at the game on Sunday.

Then, yet again, it happened. He shook my hand, looked me in the eyes, & in a low voice said, "Sir, I apologize for my inappropriate actions & language. I did not see your son standing there. I let you down as a fan, & both of us as fathers."

I was stunned. He may forever be labeled by his past, but he's a changed man. Steve Smith knows what being a pro athlete & role model is all about. I believe he truly understands what is important. I've always been a fan of #89 the football player. Now, more importantly, I'm a fan of #89 the man. As Panthers fans you should all be very proud to have Steve as the face of your organization. He is a Hall of Famer on & off the field.

Steve Smith is a hero in my book!

Goosebumps.

Thank you so much for sharing that with us

Wow SN03, this is your saddest attempt yet.

I knew you were a fugged up human being with no life except the internet, but this? Owe wee mayne...

You're just mad that an opposing fan has more pie than you do... And don't talk about people with no lives and the Internet after your recent MeltdownS here.

TCF, the original post was a fake posted by a known troll as confirmed by Zod.

Again.... why are alt accounts tolerated? There should be the ability to automatically delete any second account with the same IP address as another registered IP. A lot of problems would be solved, imo. Now, if there's no way to do this, my apologies but I'm kind of sick of the cowardice alt-accounting folks do here. It's childish, stupid, and unproductive, as seen in the OP here.

      DJ Moore. The quitting WR

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This play was never designed to go to either DJ or Odunze. The primary read is Burden who is stymied early, with the outlet being Kmet if Caleb doesn't like the option for Burden. Given the situation it's pretty obvious the simple play is to take the free yards with Kmet, or if you want to be aggressive just wait a beat longer for Burden to uncover on his double move. If Moore was ever going to be a viable target in this play then Caleb should have started out reading Odunze to hold the safety in the middle and then coming to Moore, but because he started the snap staring down the right and then came back to the middle late it made it where the safety's leverage remained to the outside of Moore, so he would never have imagined that pass actually being thrown to him in that situation. Realistically DJ's best option in that context is to just occupy the safety to leave a hole open for Caleb to get it to Burden, which is probably why he throttles down vs carrying the safety across.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By panfanman · Posted

      Even with Sonny Styles still on the board I thought it's a no brainer to address the Oline after Icky's injury.  And how can you pass up Fano at 19 given our situation. Then the rest of the draft just kind of made sense with maybe the exception of Klubnik.  But if Canales can fix him and Young goes down. . .I think it's a solid pick. What do you think of this draft?

      Bucky Brooks eats humble pie. You want a couple of slices?

      When we didn't trade him to the Rams or the Bears (I believe the Bears said they would take one of Brown/ Burns/DJ Moore) we should have just signed him and kept him.  We should have traded him to the Rams obviously and we should have kept DJ and traded Burns.  We made all three wrong choices with Burns lol.
