Yas: Why the Carolina Panthers are relevant

[CatMan72]

I was driving Sunday and listening to Sirius NFL Radio when I heard something that really bothered me.

Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson has a leading role in the NFL labor negotiations.

Alex Marvez and Zig Fracassi were hosting the show and, as always, doing a fine job. But it was one of their callers that really struck a nerve with me.

“Who is Jerry Richardson?’’ the caller said.

It didn’t take much to factor in tone and the rest of what he had to say to figure out he was saying something like, “Why is this nobody from Mayberry running the labor negotiations?’’

The caller went on to say the Carolina Panthers, the team Richardson owns, isn’t relevant. Then, he dropped the bomb that I thought was totally unfair and out of bounds.

“If the Carolina Panthers ever got into the Super Bowl, how many people would really care about (Richardson’s) team? Maybe 10,000,’’ he said.

...and all the fans of these other teams refuse to acknowledge that JR is doing what's he's doing in the Labor negotiations because the owner of their team appointed him to do it.

The instant their owners didn't approve of the way JR was doing things they could pull the plug on him, so what does that tell you?

They appointed JR because they knew he was one of the few owners that had the balls to stare Peyton Manning and Drew Brees down and be the "bad guy".

If I saw that guy in person I would sacrifice myself for my fellow fans and beat him in the face. My jail time is our jail time my brothers.

Tim Krumrie, the DT from the Bengals, broke the poo out of his leg in the superbowl when Joe Montana supposedly pointed out that John Candy was in the stands, right?
