Your Personal Experience Meeting A Panther

That guy lying about playing Cam in Madden got me thinking. What was the coolest thing you've ever actually done with a pro athlete?

Darius Butler isn't a big name but he gave me free tickets to a Panthers game last season. I follow him on twitter and he had some extra tickets to the game. They ended up being lower level seats in the handicap row so we could get out to the bathroom and concessions very easily. I never met him but I thought it was cool of him.

That's my best attempt at proof since it's guilty until proven innocent.

The other cool Panther was Ricky Proehl at Spartanburg. This little boy wanted to meet Stephen Davis and he just walked off and the kid was crying. So Ricky chased down Stephen and made him come talk to the kid.

So if you've had a really good or really bad run in with a Panther post it here.

was driving through the upper peninsula of Michigan on route 2 and a giant black cat ran off into the woods from the side of the road - and of course, it was late, didn't have a camera, etc... panthers aren't supposed to be possible from mountain lions so maybe I was wrong about the color, but no way that thing was a house cat, way too big.

I was in South Park once, and I saw Jason Baker. He was in a store, and my sister and I were walking in the concourse. I said "that's Jason Baker" to my sister. As soon as I said it, he looked right at us.

I think he was just happy to be recognized.

my wife met mike rucker in the airport during the offseason and got his autograph for me.

The kicker? It was the chicago airport.

Worked out at the Y next to Smitty one time, but he had his headphones in so no one would talk to him.

    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
    • Not a chance the SEC could compete with the NFL.  In the large cities that are not in the Southeast, (LA, NYC, Chicago, SF) College football is an afterthought.
