I'm fugging old. 

[Shields17]

1997. 10 years old. Pops just bought a shiny new Playstation, and Madden 98. 

We load up our first head to head match. I was a little dipshit and knew nothing about Football, except the Patriots (I was raised in New England for 20 years.). fug that, I don't want to like what everyone else likes. 

Flipping through teams, spot a team with a badass color scheme and a cool logo.

Almost 20 years later and I have my Panthers man cave, and can still hear Pat Summerall saying "Biakabutuka" over and over again.

22 now. 2001, go with Dad to local gas station. I pick up a Bud Light NFL Season Preview packet thingy. (Born in LA), liked the Lakers, but no NFL team. 

"Damn, that team has a cool logo."

For the next few years, I'd follow every game on sh*tty dial-up internet through NFL gamecast. (Lived in Texas)

I remember that Rams playoff game. I was supposed to to be working the concession stand at the UNCC basketball game on Clay Aiken bobblehead night. Nobody was in the arena when Clay Aiken sang because everyone was in the lobby watching the panthers game on tv going crazy. I got so many free clay aiken bobbleheads that night to top it off and got on the news singing a clay aiken song all sexy like for the camera

1990ish, Raiders were in LA making 'Straight Outta Compton*'

*I guess

 

I'm still in a blue color city called San Lorenzo, that anyone outside of the Bay Area has never heard of. My blue collar dad is a die hard A's, Raiders and Warriors fan.

I'm still an A's and Warriors fan today.

In his household you don't root for the posh white collar SF teams. Panthers were announced in 91-93. I was 9-11. They had a prettier blue than Jags (again, I was 10 and have blue eyes) and were in same division as Niners.

 

I had the opportunity to root against the Niners with my dad with Raiders in LA.

 

Rest is history, seriously I repeat this story every playoffs, so fug it at this point. I don't fuging care...

[TheJason]

Seriously don't let it be lost in my post fug the Niners and the NFC West...

Why you have to be like that? He was sharing a cool story about the team this site is all about. Not every thread can be a negative, hate filled, drama bitch fest. 

[Inimicus]

I was north of 35 with a middle-schooler for that game.
