My dad passed away early this morning after battling cancer for roughly a year. He was 68. I was by his side until the end. I’m heartbroken because my wife is due with his granddaughter in December, who he will never get to meet. He fought as long as he could to meet her, but his cancer was too aggressive.

My guitar thumping friend, I'm sorry to hear this.  I'm glad you were their for him.  A win would be good for the team and all the fans.  It would especially mean something great for you.

I'm battling cancer my self.  It sucks getting old but as I tell my family, I'm ready to go when God calls me.  

It will take some time for you to heal, my friend.

Good luck with your cancer battle. It’s such a horrible thing. Like my dad did, fight until there’s no fight left to fight. Then go.

One thing I always shared with my dad was watching Panthers games. I can’t count how many games we watched together. We would talk about the players, the schemes, the coaches, what plays we’d run in some situation…it was just a good way to get a father and son to talk to each other, and these are some of my most cherished memories. Not the Panthers, just the time I got to spend with my dad because of the team.

He took me to my first Panthers game and many more over the years. My favorite memory as a Panthers fan is attending the Cowboys playoff game during the 2003 Super Bowl run. He kept telling me tickets were almost impossible to get and we probably couldn’t go, but on Christmas Day he surprised me by slipping the tickets into my stocking after opening the other presents. And what a great game that was to see, stomping the Cowboys at home. The stadium was electric that evening. 

The team sucks right now, I know, but man if they could pull out a win for my dad that would really mean a lot. He was a special guy, a much better man than me, and I could go on and on. I don’t know if this could get to the team or not, it probably wouldn’t make a difference even if it did, but I’m just hoping they win this one for him. Call your dad if he’s still in your life and tell him you love him. Thank you for reading. 

I’m so very sorry 

my sincere prayers for you and your family 

I was there during that 2003 playoff game. See Parcells get stomped was great   

your Daddy sounds so very special.

Hey buddy, I am so very sorry to hear of your dad's passing. Now because of seeing your post I want them to win this one tomorrow in a huge way. I'm sorry again man. I lost my father as well so I know the feelings you are now having. Guarantee you that your dad will be expecting you to fight on and now prepare to lead your own family as he obviously lead his family well. He is still with you, you just carry him in your heart now.

      Panther HoF Nominees

      89 should be in considering there are 20 other WRs who, statistically, rank below Smith yet own gold jackets.

      Yeah we have ownership induced fickleness. Coaches, quarterbacks, revolving door. But the story, in the first place, is just not based on a sturdy set of assumptions.  These people are not Bryce Young comps. Start there. They were more legit prospects with actual arm talent and are not at all physical outliers.  They actually have the tools to thrive, if they use them properly. Bryce has like, a tool box with the little plastic hammer and plastic saw, particularly compared to Darnold Mayfield was bad on his own. Like Bryce. Plus how in the hell did the team even have time to mess him up? He was bad right out of the gate. I am telling you, this can be twisted into we helped him. I'll spare y'all the details.  Mayfield sat. Like Bryce will. It helped him. I don't know that there will be another point of similarity going forward. But if anything will help Young, it would be this. Definition of insanity and all that. Stop repeating it.  Darnold, was Jets failure we did somewhat rehab. It took him another year on another team to have some success why he has not yet sustained. We have to wait and see. We are the 2nd team of 4. I think. That's it. Also was good here for the same amount of time he has been in Minnesota. And if he does well we can say the same thing next week. This is just lazy stuff. They get away it because people are fuging dumb.

      Would quarterbacks avoid Carolina Panthers in NFL Draft?

      I think the point they're getting at in a beating around the bush way is that Tepper's Panthers are career killers and young QBs and other star players would be best to stay away.
