Actually the record does matter. It matters a lot. It matters conclusively. They won their division and they play in the Wild-card round.
Why would you re-write the rules after the fact?
As you know I do not support or follow professional and college football due to the hyprocrisy that it has become due to the obscene amount of money devoted to the game and that all the players are the 20th & 21st century version of Roman gladiators not to mention the tragic consequences of brain and other body injuries resulting from the way the game has evolved.
That being said, I do remember with a good bit of nostalgia watching the Panthers in the Superbowl in a big assed tent in Iraq at dawn break in 2004.
The week before the Superbowl, I had talked to my wife during one of our alloted “morale calls” and she told me that everybody in the GSP was fired up about the Panthers. GSP is smack dab in the middle of the NC & SC I-85 corridor and a lot of folks identify with the Charlotte metro area a shitload more than they do the middle or coastal regions of South Carolina (i know i definately do). When she told me that, i thought it was pretty cool.
So in that context, I would pull for the Panthers if for no other reason than regional loyality if I were supporting professional football (which I definately do not).
But again due to my strong feelings concerning regarding professional & college football (as posted above), I do not have a team I “pull” for
Let it be posted for the upteenth time, from what I have read, 30% or more of the players in professional and college football will suffer brain damage in some point in their lives due the the bullshit that professional and college football has become.
Kindly consider that that while you have your ass in front of a TV or sitting in some stadium that is milking it for all that is worth.
Players get injured in sports, it’s just the nature of the game. Getting a concussion sucks but at least you’re not at risk of having a major artery sliced in football:

(Note that a similar incident to this happened in 2008 as well.)
Smirks,
I know you are a fan of football and injuries happen in just about every sport, (well maybe not curling, but then again…………)
My opinion is backed up with more and more reports about what is happening to football players (I’m sure you have read about the survey that now over half of parents are against their kids playing football and I can understand why).
Plus it is my opinion that most professional and college sports has been hopelessly corrupted by scads of money from so many sources that it is nothing but a shell of what it once was and I for one will not be a part of it.
A lot of sports have gotten out of hand, I’m not a big fan of NASCAR but look what happened to NASCAR, the bullshit got so bad that the fans who were the reason for NASCAR could no longer afford to go to the very tracks they helped to create. I understand that since the 2008 implosion of the economy that that has kind of reversed itself but you get my point.
Does anyone else here enjoy watching those hot babes in the Olympic curling competitions? They have some sweet moves.
I love it when they bend over and sweep. It’s like the perfect housewife fantasy.
It’d only be better if they were barefoot.
Yep — and they get prettier and sexier with each succeeding Olympics!
We get older and older, but, much like college coeds, Olympic curling babes stay the same age.
TBG, please…..just leave me to my fantasies and dreams.
I’m a helper:

Many thanks —- saved some of them for desktop display!
Isn’t this a great country, everyone has a choice, to play or not to play, to watch or not to watch.
Unless that fat bastard from North Korea decides to threaten us.
Some team should use him as a hockey puck….
Stick downloading porn you holier than thou douchebag.
Dude, why do you have to bag on downloading porn?
At least the female porn stars understand that they are displaying their looks and talent for someone’s pleasure and entertainment untill the time comes when their looks are shot and they are no longer a hot commodity.
Sadly college and professional football players have failed to grasp that reality
your first sentence ” I do not support or watch”. You disqualified yourself from making a valid observation on this topic so shut the hell up.
Bullshit.
I’m backing it up with stastics and a valid poll that parents deciding that football has gotten out of control and don’t want their kids playing the game as it is played these days.
You don’t have to watch one fucking minute of football to understand that.
Only thing missing from the Roman gladiator days is for the players to stand in front of the crowd (or even better yet directly face the camera and say (in unison):
“We who are about to get injured today or suffer long term injuries for your entertainment salute thee”
The more I think about it that is a GREAT IDEA!!!!
If those metrics fail to yield a result, flip a coin.
“Yeah, your team didn’t make the playoffs because it was tails instead of heads.” You trying to start a riot or something?
If the Pathetics win, then I’ll have wings with a side order of crow
If the Pathetics lose, then I’ll make my traditional trot to the room in the back, drop my picture of Richardson kissing Newton into the bottom of the urinal and piss on ’em

At 3:00 AM?
Chuck, is that you???
The Eagles are a much better team than the Panthers. The reason the rules are what they are is because they are trying to retain regional interest in the game…so that even sucky divisions have some reason to retain their fan base into the playoffs…it’s “business”.
Atlanta is even worse for having stadiums filled with fans of the opposing team. I think that’s one reason why Southerners like college football better. The college stadiums aren’t filled with middle managers from Northern states rooting for their hometown teams.
Nah, its all the people on welfare who miraculously find a few hundred to spare on overpriced tickets to see under performing teams that you must sit next to. They wear these big oversized parkas like they are heading to North Dakota, they cuss and scream and break your knees constantly squeezing their fat stinky asses between the rows going for the overpriced food and bucket sized beer. That’s what it is. Paying for discomfort, abuse and skanky behavior vs. sitting in the comfort of your local pub or even your own living room, having a few cocktails, flipping channels on the plasma during commercials and being tucked in nice and tight while those idiots are sucking fumes in traffic afterwards.
Professional sports – skybox invite or I stay home.

OK, OK — so you met one of my former girlfriends! If you had only looked at her and given her a “lost, little boy smile” she would have plied you with a gallon of beer, taken you home with her, and given you a “night to remember”. Right now it’s breaking my heart to remember that she dumped me for that watermelon farmer in Aiken County!
NFL? That sounds like Williams Williams-Brice except that they smuggle the booze in. Is that a flask? No, just some of my fat.
Consolation prize for the Falcons: They get the #8 draft pick. The Panthers get at best the #21 pick because they are in the playoffs.
FITS is as contrived as he says the Panthers are. Panthers SUCK…and DON’T belong in the NFL playoffs…but I don’t see them as contrived.
The Colts in Indianapolis are move CONTRIVED than the Charlotte Panthers…
Also: When Cam Newton came to the NFL, the media SLOBBERED w/ praise for him. FITS was no different. Their sickening fawning for the Seedy and Sleazy Cam Newton was only outdone for their HATRED and lock-step denouncing of Tim Tebow.
Two years later, the experts, like FITS still see Cam Newton as the prototype NFL QB…but Tebow has STILL won more playoff games than Newton…
Dumb@$$#$….
Didn’t read your post – just wanted to tell you to shut the hell up.
I’ve lost interest in pro football over the last three or four years, the Panthers winning their division with a losing record just does not re-kindle the interest. Never was a Panthers fans, it is a shame, they are not that far away.
Waaaaahhh. No fair! Will you sound like a liberal.
The NFL is totally rigged, bought and paid for by Vegas types. Anyone with slightly above average analytical skills and who bothers to pay attention knows that it is so.
It’s Carolina Panthers — dumb ass. That makes any comment by you totally invalid because you don’t even know the name of the team you are dogging. Tells me you don’t even watch the games to make a true and fair commentary.
Fits, When the Colts signed Dwayne Allen did you just keep on wearing his Clempson jersey or get a colt version? Clempson loving bastard!
