I was thinking about this last night with all the Anti-Jake threads, but I never got around to posting a thread about it.

Prior to 1995 when the Panthers joined the NFL, what was your favorite NFL team and why?

1/11/2009 10:29:48 AM

broncos

john elway quarterback for the old nintendo was my favorite game

1/11/2009 10:30:56 AM

panthers

1/11/2009 10:34:45 AM

i didnt watch a whole lot before they started up
i think when i did, i liked the 49ers. This is most likely due to the plethora of 49ers memorabilia at Dick's Hot Dog Stand in Wilson

1/11/2009 10:35:20 AM

^^so you just didn't watch football prior to 1995?

^ yeah, I expected a lot of those. I know in the late 80's and early 90's this area was pretty much all Redskins and Cowboys fans.

1/11/2009 10:40:03 AM

all my friends were either Redskins or Cowboys because of their dads

i don't recall EVER being a Redskins or Cowboys fan though...

1/11/2009 10:41:00 AM

I can deal with Redskins fans, but Cowboys fans are EXACTLY like UNC fans

1/11/2009 10:41:36 AM

Cowboys.

1/11/2009 10:50:54 AM

I have been an Eagles fan since birth, so I hate everyone, including the Panthers

1/11/2009 10:52:08 AM

It was 1993.
I was 10.
They went to the Superbowl.
I was allowed to stay up and watch it.
I cheered for the Cowboys.
I found that I LOVED football.
I was the only one in my family that liked football.
I cheered for the Cowboys.
Then Carolina got a team.
I cheered for Carolina.
Through thick and thin. Blacked-out games. 1-15 seasons.
I still cheer for Carolina.
Through thick and thin. 5 interceptions games. Embarrassing losses.

1/11/2009 10:55:16 AM

Never cared about the NFL before the Panthers, and still don't really except for Fantasy Football

I'm a Raleigh native, so college sports have always been king to me.

1/11/2009 10:56:44 AM

Why would a Panthers game EVER be blacked out in NC?

1/11/2009 10:57:43 AM

redskins

1/11/2009 11:03:07 AM

I believe it was during their 1-15 season, but I could be mistaken. I do remember being mad because I wanted to watch the game, and it wasn't on tv. Dad told me I could listen to it on the radio.

1/11/2009 11:03:10 AM

if they dont sell out for the game, they'll black it out in local markets

cowboys, though I hardly ever watched/kept up with nfl.

1/11/2009 11:15:41 AM

I get pissed that EVERY Panthers game is on TV EVERY Sunday, when there are usually other way better games on. I mean, I get it because they are our local team, but it still pisses me off

1/11/2009 11:15:44 AM

Vikings

I have a ton of family in Minnesota and North Dakota

1/11/2009 11:44:53 AM

panthers

1/11/2009 11:47:20 AM

I don't think I really cared much.

My dad has never really been into any sports besides golf, and will occasionally watch an ACC basketball game.

When I would watch the superbowl as a kid my parents would watch Andy Griffith reruns in another room.

1/11/2009 11:49:51 AM

I didn't really watch, but yeah the redskins were cool

1/11/2009 11:49:55 AM

since you guys are football people what the fucking shit is the weather girl on fox pregame wearin

1/11/2009 12:15:25 PM

something perty to look at?

i would guess she gives the weather report for the game conditions

1/11/2009 12:17:56 PM

jillian barberie or however its spelled

1/11/2009 12:18:39 PM

i think her right breast was trying to escape through her ultra high waist line on her skirt, running away from the pink pirate shirt

1/11/2009 12:20:58 PM

When I was little I was Redskins fan. It seemed like they, the buffalo bills, and the cowboys were always in a superbowl. I just fell on the redskins train and my dad helped me get off and hop on the Steelers train like 10 years ago lol. My HOME team is the Saints, so I'll always have them in a secret spot in my heart.

I've never been a Panther's fan though. If they go to the superbowl I'll support them because they're from NC and all, but that's it.

1/11/2009 12:23:52 PM

How bout them Eagles?

cause marino made me tough for nc state

1/12/2009 9:15:45 AM

WOOT! I told you they'd beat the Giants!

1/12/2009 9:16:34 AM

Eli put on his best Jake impression yesterday

1/12/2009 9:18:09 AM

I want the Eagles and the Steelers in the superbowl!

That would be a good time had by all.

1/12/2009 9:18:55 AM

I'll tell you what, Westbrook better wake the fuck up or we won't make it past the Cardinals

1/12/2009 9:20:13 AM

I do not want the bandwagon steelers in the superbowel

1/12/2009 9:20:25 AM

1/12/2009 9:22:55 AM

I liked the Colts, but once NC got their own team, the Colts lost their appeal real fast.

1/12/2009 9:26:46 AM

I grew up a cowboys fan- hell, I still am a cowboys fan


I'd probably pull for the panthers over the cowboys if they were to have met in the playoffs, but yeah, i still pull for them (and boy, I hope they don't get rid of TO...)

1/12/2009 9:28:15 AM

49ers/Giants

now its more Chargers/Panthers

1/12/2009 9:29:46 AM

the Rivers effect

J-E-T-S

Dad still is, of course. Born and raised in NJ. I lived in NJ until I was 11, and I was 13 for the Panthers' first season.

I'd say I'm much more a Panthers fan now because they're readily available -- TV and attending games and all that.

1/12/2009 9:57:47 AM

damn, you lived in Jersey for 11 years? You must be traumatized

1/12/2009 9:59:20 AM

Before: Redskins

Now: Redskins then Panthers
