The Seahawks and the Panthers don’t play until a little after 4 today here, and that’s probably a good thing as it has rained on and off – sometimes heavily – since about 7 last night. The forecast for this afternoon is cloudy w/ a high of 60 degrees but only up to a 20% chance for rain, so this will give the field a chance to dry out a little.
I’m not a Jets fan, but I just became a Woody Johnson fan. Via Bloomberg (hat tip: ST reader GWR):
It’s been ten days since the Panthers got their behinds whipped in front of a national audience on their home turf against the Giants. Would love to be able to say I’ve picked them to win this week versus the Falcons in the office pool but I did not. Lot of jokes and discussion in the sports media about Cam Newton and Steve Smith in the last week-plus in terms of leadership, maturity, and taking the game to the next level. Will it translate into a win today? Let’s hope it does. The Panthers winning would be a “sacrifice” I’d willingly make in the office pool.
Yes, the Panthers lost on Thursday. More like – were destroyed. In front of a national audience. Still too painful to talk about … be gentle with me.
Are you ready for some football? I am, especially considering this will be the Panthers home opener and against a division rival. Not only that, but after last week, it’s not only the players who are hungry for a Cats win. Fans of this team know the great plays these guys can make on the field. The potential for a winning season is definitely there. They just have to do it. The loss against Tampa Bay was downright embarrassing – to say the least. We can do better.
Are y’all ready for some football?
