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.

      Also, you don't really get good value by drafting a center in the first.

      First off, we haven't been ignoring the defense. We have drafted several defensive players, but, perhaps more importantly, we have added good pieces in free agency. Secondly, the offense was still kinda bad (27th or so depending where you look at). You can't just say we can't pick an offensive guy while acknowledging that the offense wasn't good. Everything is on the table. Like I said above, it seems kind of counterproductive to say that we shouldn't draft an offensive player high unless they're at certain positions. The offense was mediocre at best. Sure, we had an uncanny knack to win some close games at opportune times, but the offense wasn't really good. To me, it makes little sense to put limitations on who/what we should draft when we need an upgrade at so many positions. What you look at is trying to get the best value--bang for your buck so to speak--and that's the way it should be. D-Mo has used FA to set up the draft in order not to be pigeonholed into anything, and that's the way that it should be.

      Hubert has plenty of money. I don't hate the guy. I think he a legit good guy. This is Ron Rivera all over again for me. It's just very obvious a coaching change is needed and it audka we gottaboart ways with a good guy and I'd much rather it work out but the same issues appearing again and again year after year are clearly shouting what needs to happen. With that said, if we hire Todd Golden, that's it. I'm out. I'd greatly prefer to just keep getting disappointed by Hubert. I can at least stand to root for that.
