So we all know how much our team relies on things like helmets facing the correct direction, etc. for their success...

Well, after the Packers win, I am afraid I have to admit I might have done a terrible thing.

For the first time this season, I buzzed most of the hair off my head (my typical "easy maintenance" buzzcut) and cleaned up the ol' neckbeard/facial hair. I had stopped myself from doing this in previous weeks, afraid to upset the balance of what the Panthers were accomplishing, but I figured "What the heck? We are at the halfway point and are finding ways to hang on in close games. We're sitting pretty in the NFC right now, etc. etc. etc." Plus, I was looking pretty damned shaggy and not very presentable.

But now the realization has been creeping up on me ever since that I might have done a terrible thing. Add on top of this that I might not be at home to tune in for the first part of the game on Sunday vs. Tennessee. A family obligation will have me getting home just before the game, or an hour or so into it.

Now, grant you, it will at least be on the radio. But I haven't missed watching a live game in a loooong time.

Someone has to pick up my slack this week and start a new superstition for themselves, so that I may rest easy that I have not channeled the wrong energies, nor that my Panthers will be on the receiving end of said energies.

So I guess I am saying "sorry!" in advance, just in case...

Did you spin around 3 times, spit, & throw salt over your shoulder ?

From your own words, it sounds like you actually made yourself better, improved your appearance. Which is this team's motto, one week at a time, constantly looking to improve.

If you can't make it home for the beginning of the game, keep that radio on & it's all good. Laugh/groan at Mixon & celebrate with Eugene. A+

So you are covered, no bad anything coming, all positives. #KEEPPOUNDING

It's fun to think about what you could've possibly done to have this cosmic effect on whether the panthers win or lose, but at the end of the day, they're all constructs of our minds. 

Remember, if you think our uniforms influence whether we win or lose, just think about how the Cowboys started wearing their white jerseys as much as they could because they thought their Blues were jinxed. Now they lose no matter what they wear because that team sucks. Don't be dumb like the Cowboys and start blaming uniforms and other arbitrary things that have nothing to do with game plan, injuries, or SCP's helmet.

I thought this was going in the direction of the DirecTV commercials...
