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.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Tanking in the NFL isn’t really a thing and anybody wanting to bring the rigged lottery to the NFL has an ulterior motive.

      Ravens safety out for year. Torn Achilles… Panthers may need to do something

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I understand where you're coming from, but we need another safety IMHO. Other positions, especially on defense, dont have ideal depth, but to me at least S is the one position we can't stand pat at even when thinking about the future

      Ravens safety out for year. Torn Achilles… Panthers may need to do something

      100%. Nick Scott was awful last year. Like, even for a franchise that hasn't historically invested in that position, it stood out for how awful it was. If he sees meaningful snaps at S again we're cooked.  Maybe he has value for ST, but I certainly hope we can upgrade. Jordan Fuller, who was by all accounts an Evero guy, was almost as bad. Xavier Woods was bad, but not complete garbage. Still did not want him back. Those 3 guys seriously may have been the worst S group in the NFL. And they all were brought in, especially Fuller, as good fits for this system. Everyone knocks the defensive line, and they deserve a lot of blame, too, but so, so many times our safeties inability to tackle let 4-5 yard runs turn into 10+. And it happened over and over and over again if you watch the film. Honestly, Demani Richardson was the only S by the end of the year I remember making positive plays. I have no issue with Richardson being in the mix and/or competing to be a starter, but we still need another S desperately IMHO who has actually played meaningful snaps in the NFL. The only caveat/excuse for our secondary was the fact our pass rush was nonexistent for large stretches last year. Maybe that helps with coverage, but I dont see how that makes any of these guys better at tackling.  I know it somewhat feels like piling on at this point, but I feel 100% confident in saying this was the worst tackling team in franchise history. The 70ish yard pass play we gave up to Jamarr Chase where he ran through and past everyone in the secondary has to be up there in terms of most embarrassing plays I've ever seen. I can't imagine how embarrassed Kuechly must have been watching from the booth... I think bringing back Evero was a mistake, but for a team that has had nothing but change over the past 5 years, I'm willing to see this through. I definitely think we added significantly to the floor of this defense with the additions we made. I dont think Evero has any further excuses if he cant field a unit that can at least somewhat hold their own. Fixing the safety play is going to be a big part of that.
