Okay, we picked up AJ Feeley today. That means Fox has decided to stick with Jake - win or lose, rise or fall, live or die, Jake is our QB. That's the deal. Like it or not, that is the situation.

This morning, after I finished throwing up and looking at dates for next year's draft and spring training, I made the decision to stop crying, booing, second guessing, and pissin' and moanin' about the situation. I'm gonna support my team, Fox and Jake for as long as those guys are a part of MY PANTHERS. I don't have to be happy about everything to be a fan. I can be upset about what's happening, and still pull for my team like crazy.

And check it out Panthers fans. We can't help our team by getting "down" on them. There are plenty of Steelers and Redskins fans around to do that for us. Jake, Fox and the boyz NEED US!!! Now is the time to show if we're really PANTHERS fans or NOT. Are we going to be part of the white noise out there grumbling and complaining and crying and second guessing, or are we going to help out team?! I say we help! I say when Jake gets out there on the field at Bank of America Stadium that we scream and cheer for him until they hear us all the way back to DC (we play the Redskins). Our QB is not a whuss. And he never shifts blame. Maybe he's lost his game - maybe not. But my QB is never going to walk off the field again in misery and shame because I'm booing him. But that's just me....

I'm not happy with my team! I'm not happy with the decisions we've made with players and coaches. But we can't change that until the off-season. We've got to get behind our team THIS season. This season is the one we're playing in. And right now, as I see it, we're only 0-1.

AND I LOVE WFNZ. But those guys get paid to lead the jeers and the cheers. Remember, they are the ones with the "whiner" line. Anybody can sit around and complain and gripe and groan. Don't let the naysayers get us down. Most of the people calling in there complaining are really Steelers, Cowboys, or some other fans first anyway. FORGET THEM! We are PANTHER NATION!

You do what you want to, but as for me and my house, we will stand with our team no matter what! We will cheer! We will watch faithfully. We will cry with our team if that's what it comes to. But we will stick with them and cheer them all the way through a 0-16 season if we have to.

Here we go Panthers! Here we go!!! Here we go Panthers! Here we go!

...but call Vinny a winner too! It doesn't matter what you say, or how you break it down. At the end of the day, the Panthers pick up a win. That's the bottom line! Take that all ye "nay sayers"! I love it baby! I'll take it any way we can get it. AND, I am a hopeless optimist. I still believe in this team! GO PANTHERS!

I have Carolina Panthers tickets available for this week's game against Houston and also Tampa Bay. I have two tickets for each game (good seats - I'm a PSL owner). The tickets are $43 each ($86 for both). No single tickets. You can buy for either game. Cash or check.

Let me know asap if you want them - they won't last long! Email me at jimmy@rockyriverchurch.com.

One of cool things about July 4th yesterday is getting to hang with Mike Minter (Panther's Safety). This is a pic of me and Mike.
