A lot of you know that I am a football coach, some even know I get to coach the "Panthers" (Pop Warner). Well I never forced the Panthers on my son, but he is a huge fan now (he has played for the Panthers and this is his 3rd year!)

So while my family has been gone I have been re-doing my sons room....

I re-painted his room, and then I have framed a Dwill Jersey that I have had in the closet + I still have a Stephen Davis jersey on the way.

I still have about 6 pictures to hang, but I am waiting for that other framed jersey to show up..

I did all the work myself...

let me know what you think!!!

(yes-- he is spoiled) :D

The story behind the project;

Well my son and I had gotten home that night from having my football teams cookout. He had been running around all day, playing football and having fun.

Well every night he knows we do 30 pushup's, its what we do. That night he started pouting, and didnt want to do the push ups, so I called him down to his room and started pulling pictures off of his carolina blue walls.

I look at him and use this as an oppertunity to teach him about hard work, I start saying; you see Steve Smith, he never quit, Julius Peppers..... He never quit, DeAngelo Williams, do you know why he is great? Because he never quit, and I continue on as I take each player pic off the wall.... (now before you just think I am being a dick, our family motto is; Coopers never quit)- I go on and continue pulling all the pictures off the wall, he is crying saying I WILL NEVER QUIT DAD- I WONT QUIT-- I tell him he already has......

I told him to sit on his bed and think about why he quit on me, then go to bed...

I leave the room and the wife is looking at me like Im crazy (i am) -- I then smile and whisper to her; "Im going to make his room special, and paint it, I had to get the pictures off the walls anyways. :D

So when he left his for N.C. the next day his room was stripped and his pride was broken.

I am sure when he gets back and se's the new paint + Jerseys+ shelves+ black bins, and the whole setup he will be excited....

I hope he is, Im excited for him!

I dont think he will ever forget that night, BUT I am sure he will forever remember the night next week when he see's his new room for the 1st time..

(plus I doubt he ever quits on me again) :)

I was about to say man that was harsh. You sounded like one of those delusional parent types but what you did was very clever.

Nice job on the room btw. Alot of cool things in there he could keep when he out grows his fandom stage. He should like it.

Good job, man! Lots of nice stuff there. I had to laugh when you said it was your "holding room" until you can get your own Panther Cave. I'm the same way. I have more than sixty jerseys - about thirty of them signed - and a thick notebook full of signed pics and other stuff that I'm hoarding until I can find a place to display them in. Lately I've been thinking about getting one of those 40 foot shipping containers an fixing that up as the cave. You can get two of them, weld them together, cut out holes for windows, doors, HVAC, etc., and they would make a pretty cool place to watch a game - at least I think they would.

      Complementary Football, or: How to Lose a Game

      My read is they intended to try and get points but that first run and usage of the clock was done to hedge against things going poorly. Basically they shouldn't need all that time to score since they had multiple timeouts. Dirting that second play put us in a no-win situation. Sure you can run on 3rd down but ARI had timeouts so they still likely get the same result.

      Can we all admit it now?

      I never said he had a good game in the Denver game.  As you said we had a good first drive ending in Bryce throwing a slant to XL for a TD.  It was garbage time but the back shoulder throw to Coker for the late TD was a great throw.   Throws like these in bad games are why I say he "can" do it and has the physical tools.  The question is can he do it consistently, continue to improve, grow and become our QB of the future.  Up to this point that was a hard no but with a new head coach and Bryce in his 2nd year it was 100% the right call to play out the year and see if he got better.  He did.   Two games into this year is still more of the up and down quality of play and coaching but there is still plenty of potential and we have 16 more games to decide if it's worth it to continue down this path. I don't know what will happen but I know cutting him or benching him now makes zero sense on any level. I said of those last 10 games we were only blown out in 2 of them.  I'll concede the Denver game was a blow out.  So 3 blowout loses and 7 competitive games, 4 of which we won, all decided by less than a TD.  Sounds like a team growing, improving and getting better.  All I want to do is see where that leads and if those examples of starting NFL level quarterbacking can continue to improve and become more consistent.   Anyone with pride would retire?  Laughable.  Do all of you quit in your daily lives every time things get tough or don't go your way?
