Peppers was warmly received by the home crowd Sunday, but said that he didn't think much about it.

"I really didn’t care, really," Peppers said. "The only people who I care about who receive me well are these guys in this locker room, my coaches, my family and friends.”

Pep should be jaded towards the fans. If he underperforms he is ripped by the fans but if he plays well then it's just 'well he's supposed to'. People think because he's a freak of an athlete that his stats should be freakishly high but that's just not how it works.

that is how it is suppose to be. you think Jake is suppose to care what the fans think? this is a job for these guys, they have to worry about teammates and playing......if they get right what they are suppose to care about.....the fanbase will ultimately be happy.

agreed...

He had an outstanding game on Sunday and still I've seen people post stupid poo like, "he got it in garbage time"... that fool was running all around the field making plays at the beginning of the game and throughout...

Hell, I don't/wouldn't care what half of you think either, cause a lot of people here have problems putting things in perspective.. that or just like to make dumbass comments without putting any thought into their opinion.

and when you hear, "got it in garbage time"... that's the ONLY way it can be taken.

This is so wrong on so many levels.

Fans, are 'customers'. They are customers of the product Jerry Richardson puts on the field.

'Customers' buy tickets, buy jerseys, buy concessions. Tickets bought assure no blackouts in the local region. Customers bring their families to games and ensure the lifeline of continuing ticket sales.

If I made a statement, to my company that I didn't care about my 'customers'. I assure you, I'd be out in 5 seconds.

Julius should learn to simply keep his mouth shut. If he must speak, then represent his 'company' well, and at least attempt to say the right thing to those people who buy tickets that along with TV and concessions pay his bloody, over-rated salary.

Rant done.

Honestly, no player should be concerned about whether or not the fans will be acceptive or not. Fans prove time and time again to overreact to things.

Peppers and any players concerns should be the ones he mentioned...friends, family, teammates, coaches, and owner.

Fans will either get over it, and accept him, or continue to be immature, and begrate him at every chance.

    • i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something.  life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with. 
    • FLASHBACK: I remember back when ESPN was just starting--he was their anchor.  They used to show stuff like Rodeo and field hockey--I remember laughing when he went to a commercial mocking a cycling competition in Utah (or something similar--I made that up) and I laughed.  I told my dad, "We may have us a new anchor when we get back from commercial."  When they came back from commercial, Berman was looking very serious and he said, "Any comments by me do not reflect the views of ESPN....The men and women who cycle are dedicated athletes and we are honored to shine light on their sport." (Paraphrasing).  Dad laughed hysterically. My first memory of him--and that was like 1980.
    • Might not have a team without them. Although that probably applies to the Panthers, too.
