So I ran into Captain Munnerlyn's girlfriend at the park today.

I was at my usual park today walking my ferocious and terrifying four month ole chihuahua. As we both exercised our finely tuned athletic machines by walking back to the car as quickly as possible, I hear the voice of a woman speaking to her young (what I presume to be) son.

"oh don't tell me you're gonna hide from that little old dog" she said to the boy.

Looking up expecting to chuckle and bask in the glory of another person complimenting my young canine companion, I first lay eyes on a giant "41" planted on the side of some black shorts. I immediately notice the style as our team training camp shorts, and can almost feel the Panthers logo on the other side as in the span of a nano second I remember that Captain is indeed local to the area and that I've ran into him on a number of occasions (including a cool sit an scout at the senior bowl the year prior to this one.)

I quickly crane my head to indeed see the panthers logo on the other side, and, as the woman approached, I gave her a quick hello and asked if she knew Captain.

Truthfully, If I had known the two were close I probably wouldn't have stopped her, but you spoiled brats in Charlotte don't know how awesome it is to ran into a Panthers fan, or someone close to the team.

After I asked if she knew him, she said yes, and that she was his girlfriend. She noticed the Panthers cap on my head and became quickly much more comfortable with the stranger stopping her in the park, and we spoke only for a brief moment on how he was away at OTA's, my run in with him at the senior bowl a year prior, and she got my name to mention to him about it. (which I honestly thought amusing, but the thought was sweet)

All in all, a pretty cool moment for a football starved panthers fan.

Cool Story Bro.

 

 

 

No seriously, it was cool. I didn't know any huddlers were from around this area (I'm in Baldwin County). I totally would be stoked to run into someone close to the team, hell I get excited just seeing someone wearing panthers gear and usually have to say something to him/her. Now if only we could run all these Saints fans back to Louisiana, life would be good.

Odd to see a location I recognize here on the Huddle. Man do I miss the Carolinas.

As for the saints fans, we get the worst kind because all of them here actually are the obnoxious bandwagon clowns who unfortunately have access to seeing them "locally."

I've found that asking them who coached the saints prior to Sean payton works pretty much every single time for shutting them up

Hey growl, no disrespect! But this sounds more like some espionage, where pics are needed. I'm not doubting your style. But next time I hope your quick on that click click, pictures you know.. I want some visits! With some photooooooooo! You feel me. Yes, it's the liquor that's talkin, but give me the details.

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

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I've been hearing all about this "winning culture" for years while watching us piss away top shelf draft position with meaningless late season wins when we're already eliminated from the playoffs but being assured this is building "winning culture" just to inevitably suck again next year. With that said, I'll always take a playoff berth. Just make the dance and you have a chance to make some noise. But spare me the "winning culture" bullshit.

      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.
