i wish carolina nothing but the best against arizona...

i can remember my daughter playing basketball in middle school. her team lost every single game. they were horrible. they couldn't shoot. they couldn't pass. they couldn't dribble. they couldn't defend. they couldn't do anything related to basketball when it came time to play basketball.

then came playoff time. having a winning or losing record didn't matter. all the teams played for the championship.

i, along with all the other parents who stuck it out with their daughters thru what was the most ridiculous attempt at playing any sport that has ever been witnessed, expected a one and done go home and enjoy the rest of the afternoon playoff run.

but that didn't happen.

they won their first game.

then the next.

then the next.

before you know it, they were playing for the championship and playing their hearts out down to the last remaining seconds. the entire gymnasium was yelling, screaming, crying, and laughing...not because the girls were winning, but because for one day they weren't carrying the pain and aggravation of an entire season on their shoulders.

you could see it on their faces, and you couldn't help but be happy for them.

that's what i want for my carolina panthers today.

not just a win against arizona, but for them to play so well that the dirt of this season is knocked off their shoulders.

even if they lose the next 2 remaining games of the season, i want this game to be the one they remember and are proud of.

GO PANTHERS!
