  1. There is only one identity he's interested in........ Ka-Ching!!! That and a sheeple fan base that will ring up a no sale knot on their foreheads from beating their brains out rooting for this team.
  2. Very simple...............she is a JADE. and if you think Tepper is a problem.............you put it on steroids with her.
  3. beat up too many players during training camp?????
  4. A coin flip............. NFL still has it in the rule book.
  5. They never challenged the spot on Hubbard at mid field........but instead wasted a time out on 4 and 1 before a punt? That is Rhule like tactics...........................ugh. You never let off the gas playing against Brady.........never.
  6. The Panthers are the G spot of the NFL.................a complete mystery as to if they exist or not and if so how to figure them out.
  7. AFC Bills beat Bengals NFC Philly beats 49ers SB Bills beat Philly (BTW.....Panthers make playoffs beat Dallas in wild card weekend and lose in Divisional round to 49ers)
  8. He has the appearance of someone who has disciplined a diet to achieve a lower body fat than most but has little in the way of lean muscle mass to offset the gaunt look. He is leaned out like Cam was last year......but without the lean muscle mass that Cam still carried. Which is fine for normal life but in football the loss of both core muscle and reaching a certain level of a low percent of body fat (especially visceral) puts the body at risk for organ damage in hits...........
  9. Here's something to contemplate..............and I'm sober thinking this...... If the Panthers make the playoffs with a losing record........ Then at what level progression within the playoffs would you consider them as winners? - One and done? - Losing at the divisional game? - Losing at the conference championship? - Losing in the SB? - (gulp)....winning the SB??? They say the playoffs begin a new season...................so are the Panthers magically 0-0 at the beginning of the playoffs and not carrying the liability of a 8-9 record? Its a strange scenario to consider a losing team in the playoffs.......and the fate it may have in the perception of what to do with their future.
  10. 3 reasons why they won't? 1) NFL knows Panthers have a weak TV ratings for playoffs........ 2) Brady and Officials....... 3) See #1 and #2 above and do the math............
  11. All aboard the playoff express!!!! Let's us hope that it doesn't end up looking like this in Tampa about 30 mins into the game.....
  12. Nothing brings ratings of sports fans outside of a teams fan base than to watch an underdog play for glory..... .....its ingrained in all humans to see something great that too often never happens in their own lives................... There is no bigger underdog in all the NFL right now with a chance to make the playoffs than this black cat team........... The game between the Panthers and Bucs is the most interesting game this weekend in part because of that.......
  13. Do you want to know........really want to know? You can't...................the answer to everything about this team...this year is. I don't know......... 21 yards on the ground against the Steelers...........and then the Lions game??? spin the roulette wheel.............the Panthers are an enigma.
  14. is this heaven??? no ........its Iowa..........
  15. If you make the playoffs with a losing record..........would you call that a winning season? The possibility of that situation makes every decision in this organization an oxymoron.
  16. To get their heads bashed in against the Steelers and then turnaround and do that to the Lions...........you just don't know what team you end up with week to week with this outfit. That's not a model for success...........
  17. I've met Franco many times over the years......usually in a gym working out along with many other Steelers.......he was a class act. His immaculate reception catch in that event along with the Pirate's Bill Mazerowski's bottom of the 9th walk off home run to win the 1960 world series have defined the sports culture of Pgh over the past 75 years..... Franco's moment of the immaculate reception in his rookie season that changed everything is immortalized when you land at the Pgh Airport and this statue greets you along with a statue on his right of George Washington. That’s some heady respect but understood by the people of Pgh during that time. See Pgh was a town suffering from the loss of the steel industry and its economy, and the Steelers were the failures of the NFL for over 30 years. But in a moment it all seemed to change……..never has one play defined a sports franchise and the hope of its city as that play did on that cold December in 1972. A girl friend of mine many moons ago was at that game when Franco's catch changed the fate of the Steelers. Her father took her (they had three daughters in the family and she was the oldest). She was in high school at the time and remembers the moment well because everyone stood up cheering on what looked to be a touchdown but it was so confusing and soon with her being short (5ft) she couldn't see much over everyone else standing and then a guy behind her dumped all his beer and it went down her back in what was freezing cold weather.......... .......when we started dating in the mid 70s a few years after that game she recalled that moment to me......telling me she can still smell the stench of old beer on clothes because of that game. On that day I was in my bed room listening to the game on a small transistor radio...........it was blacked out in Pgh because believe it or not the game wasn't a sellout within 48 hours before air time and we couldn't get any station far enough outside of the Pgh area to get the TV signal so I listen to it on the radio.........when it came down to that last play on 4th down with 22 secs left with no timeouts left, I figured it was hopeless and turned off the radio and drove to the business district of the borough I lived in to get a pizza to drown my sorrows in comfort food...........it was a short 2 min drive and when I got there everyone was outside like it was a New Year’s celebration jumping up and down.............I pulled over at a stop light rolled my window down and asked what happened?.................. I was told "we won we won!!.......Franco snatched the ball out of the air and scored a touchdown!!!".............I hadn't a clue what happened until I got in the pizza shop, and everyone explained it to me, then had to watch the news later that evening to see what I missed when I turned off the radio................ ..........apparently, I shared that same fate of both confusion and wonder of that moment with Steeler owner Art Rooney Sr. who on that final play never saw or heard what happened as it unfolded. He decided to leave his box just before that play and head down the elevator to the locker room and congratulate the team on a good season that just fell short only to find when he got out of the elevator the hallways were washed in celebration of which he had to ask what kind of miracle could have occurred to change that moment......... Soon after that the Steeler went on to win 4 SBs in 6 years.................. I wish every sports fan could have such an experience that happened on that December day in 1972 where the greatness of such a moment as the immaculate reception is exceeded by the wonder of of it and the legend who never stopped people wondering as he ran to 4 SB wins and into the NFL Hall of Fame.........RIP Franco........
  18. RIP Legend.........................
  19. Panthers squeeze into the playoffs and eliminate Dallas....LOL..
  20. Every time they showed that Ben MaCa-poo in the box calling plays I threw up in my mouth a bit while losing a few more IQ points.............
  21. The only thing Black and Blue in that stadium is the Panthers record.............and it will remain that way until they learn that winning will color the stadium as they want it.
  22. NFL should change the playoff rules............ If you win your division with a losing record you should be replaced with the best record of a wild card prospect that hasn't made it in the playoffs because of your division win.
