Well, the Panthers finally lost.  We played a horrible final game, but that’s alright.  We’re better than Seattle but didn’t play like it.  I guess I’m going to root for the Seahawks, gotta pull for the NFC.

However, I’m excited about next year.  We have a great group of guys, who played very well together this year.  Our defense was spectacular, and the secondary is much improved over previous years thanks to Lucas, Gamble, Davis, and McCree.  Our offense was explosive, despite injuries in the RB position.  Steve Smith is the best receiver in the league by far, and it’s a crime that he didn’t get a single vote for MVP.  And the good news is that Drew Carter has stepped up in recent weeks as a #2 receiver, so that should take pressure off of Smitty for next season.  So I’ll “wait til next year” and watch NASCAR in the meantime.  But for the record I’m calling it now, the Panthers are gonna win superbowl 41.  But for now, GO CARL EDWARDS.
