It was pretty sad to hear all the cheering for SF at Carolina’s home stadium. What an embarrassment for the Panthers.
The Panthers just haven’t yet developed a loyal and boistrous fan base like you have in New Orleans and some other more established NFL cities. Also, their QB Cam Newton walking around with a towel on his head looking like some kind of Taliban when he is on the sidelines has not endeared himself to the fans.
Wouldn’t have happened in New Orleans. Saints were better than both Panthers and ‘49’ers. Ahhh the curse of the #6 seed.
i am working and living in Fayetteville, NC... i have yet to meet a bonafide Panthers fan... with Fort Bragg and Camp Lejeune and Cherry Point, there is a big military presence in NC... so people are loyal to their own home teams... in addition, with the older established teams like the Red Skins, Saints and Buccaneers, it seems to me that the Panthers are more of a secondary favorite team around here... the people i work with are mainly Red Skins fans... they are people who have been in NC forever... i live in a household of Niner fans as we are from the Bay Area... and i work with another Niner fan... she was born in the Bay Area...
It just means, as they have been since the Joe Montana Era, the 49ers are America's Real Team.
And where is Tony Romo, anyway...? :)
