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's Negative PR Avoidance Option

      By thennek · Posted

      I agree with this as well.  Just seems like how it was presented opened up the negative firestorm.  When questioned Canales had no other direction other than 'Andy gives us the best chance to win'.  I think it could have been handled differently.  It is all on how you word it.

      Just 2 completely different situations. Last year Bryce probably had a real ankle injury and while he looked overwhelmed, he was still making a couple plays here and there so giving him a week off to rest his ankle and see how Andy preps and plays was good for him.  This year however Bryce has looked like the WORST QB TO EVER TAKE A SNAP FOR THIS FRANCHISE. If Bryce is ever gonna work out as an NFL QB, he needed to be benched to show him and the rest of the team that no matter who you are if you aren't playing to the standard set by the team then you will be gone. As my grandmother says this is Bryce's "coming to Jesus moment".  There's 2 ways this can go. Number 1 is that Bryce sits and pouts like a spoiled child who is upset that he got grounded and gets traded or released in the offseason or Number 2 this situation brings out the DAWG in Bryce and he comes out with that confidence we saw at Alabama.
