Wait, Ive seen this movie before. Yeah, its called Groundhog Day, but this version isnt funny. Its actually pretty damn sad. Yes, I am referring to our hometown NFLers, the Carolina Panthers. And yes, you can add me to the list of fans that are none-to-happy and a little (see: LOT) ticked. In case last years season finale - in the playoffs, at home no less - wasnt bad enough, we had to endure the Week 1 shellacking that felt eerily like a scene from The Bad News Bears Try Football.
Watching quarterback Jake Delhomme (thats pronounced Go-Home!) forget which team he plays for - four separate times - was about as depressing as watching Kayne make an idiot of himself on national television.
But enough about all that you watched, you dont need a reminder. So instead, I thought Id give you a glimpse at what the Panthers players might be rockin out to on their iPods this week. You know, in order to get their minds off Week 1 and onto Week 2 which might soon be known as The Replacements Pt 2. If youd like, you can make your own playlist. Just title it the Poo Poo Platter Playlist keep it easy to find.
Coach John Fox "The Heat is On" by Glenn Fry The man who continues to back the wrong horse has to know that if Jake goes, he goes. To the unemployment line.
Jake Delhomme - "Here Comes the Rain Again" by Eurhythmics A number of songs work here for Jake "Hit the "Road Jake," "Color Blind" (Counting Crows), "That Smell" (Lynyrd Skynyrd).
Owner Jerry Richardson - "This Old Heart of Mine" by Rod Stewart Poor Jerrys new heart doesnt deserve this treatment.
Steve Smith & DeAngelo Williams "Wasting My Time" by Default The two best players on the team might be wasting one of the few pro bowl years of their career.
Julius Peppers "Take the Money and Run" by Steve Miller Band Because the team owes Peppers $19 million this year, they couldnt afford anyone else in the off-season so he shouldnt go blameless. Oh, and hell be gone within a week of free agency at seasons end.
The Entire Defense "Workin Overtime" by Diana Ross Most will earn their paychecks this year (see: Peppers).
The Fans "Think Ill Just Sit Here and Drink" by Merle Haggard If the seasons continues down this road, therell be lots of empty seats at BofA Stadium and lots of full barstools at the local watering holes.
Did I miss any? And look on the bright side the Bobcats season kicks off in just two short months... oh wait, nervermind.
