siamesaThis shall be my happy post of the day.
PANTHERS!
So I just recieved an email with the Carolina Panthers schedule on it, and I am all of a sudden pumped up and wishing it was football time (not really. I want summer first.) The Panthers are the local pro football (the American, violent kind) team, and I have a deep and abiding love for them that was not negated by the fact that LAST YEAR THEY COMPLETELY EMBARRASSED THEMSELVES TO THE ARIZONA CARDINALS OF ALL PEOPLE.
But I am not still bitter.
I love them too much.
I love the writeups in the paper, and the arguing fans, and that sometimes I can hear the roar of the stadium from my house. I love that it brings the community together. I love that last year we came together as a team despite the fact that our star reciever sucker punched another player during a preseason practice. I love when one of our running backs just breaks away from everything and high tails it down the field with the ball. I love the fact that we play better as underdogs (usually). I love that we have the best, nicest, and genuinely good-guy owners in the NFL, and that when he had a heart transplant last year the entire fanbase stopped yelling at each other and rallied around him. I love us when we win and I love us when we don't.
And I needed to be reminded today of the things I love.
