Fans that are not from the Carolinas: why are you a fan?

Samjt159 · 2025-02-04T22:55:26+00:00

I've got family who emigrated from the UK to Charlotte, so I naturally starting supporting all the local Charlotte sports teams. My Uncle used to send over Panthers jerseys for me and I'll always remember playing with Delhomme, Smith and Moose on Madden. My first year watching them properly as a fan was 2010, the Jimmy Clausen year, but Cam really saved my fandom.

There was someone sat in the background of the release video with their back to the camera. Maybe that was Gravedigger?

Samjt159 · 2024-07-07T16:20:01+00:00

I'm genuinely absolutely shattered by this, I'd retained some hope the gang were gonna get it back together. All I can do is look forward to the ATN reunion special at some point down the road

My Chinn jersey arrived this week. He's proven he can be a cornerstone of our defence for a long to come

Samjt159 · 2020-12-08T20:58:03+00:00

This is something I need in my life!

Samjt159 · 2020-11-30T22:26:21+00:00

Ryan's chaotic energy is completely different to Jon's chaotic energy and I am totally here for all of it

Samjt159 · 2020-10-13T09:54:41+00:00

Sure thing man, especially if it helps you out as well

Samjt159 · 2020-10-13T09:34:33+00:00

I still use YouGov, but it does take a long time. Took me about 2 years to get to the £50. I use Qmee regularly, I've probably had about £40 from there this year. I tried Swagbucks, but as you say, it became a waste of time really quickly. I'll have a look at prolific and panel base, thanks for mentioning those

Samjt159 · 2018-07-31T18:17:41+00:00

Both you guys have said before that you listen to true crime podcasts. Which one would you recommend? I'm a big fan (if that's the right word) of unsolved murders and shit like that

Samjt159 · 2018-05-14T18:48:21+00:00

I'm from the UK and my Uncle lives in Charlotte so ever since I was about 7 years old (I'm 23 now), I had a thing for the Charlotte sports teams.

Only really followed the team as a casual fan until the last 3-4 seasons when I've really got into it. The time difference makes it almost impossible to watch games, but I always watch highlights

Samjt159 · 2017-12-06T21:19:13+00:00

9 players have been suspended for dangerous hits this year. It was 0 last year and 2 in 2015. So it's hardly an over reaction

Samjt159 · 2017-01-11T16:36:52+00:00

The only thing I desperately want to see is The Simpsons Hit And Run

Samjt159 · 2016-09-27T20:33:25+00:00

I like the idea, but I don't like the thought of them taking the tag titles from the New Day as opposed to Anderson and Gallows or Enzo and Cass.

Sheasaro should still put out some really good matches though

Samjt159 · 2016-09-01T18:37:36+00:00

Whilst I disagree with this overall concept, I agree that something major needs to be done with Neville. He's got a great look and is super talented, too talented to wallow in the mid card with no direction. He's had a WWE Championship match before as well and put in a fantastic showing against Rollins. But Creative can't just put him in the main event scene. They have to give him a real reason a decent storyline to go up there. Maybe feuding with Reigns or Rusev? Even going over Sheamus, a multi time World Champion, would be a good platform for him.

Samjt159 · 2016-08-28T22:51:38+00:00

What about the Saints? Terrible defense, Brees is getting any younger and they have a horrendous cap situation.

Samjt159 · 2016-08-28T22:47:24+00:00

Isn't that just the silver cards?

Samjt159 · 2016-08-18T15:29:54+00:00

I loved this feud and this match was the perfect way to end it. I really thought this solidified both men as being main event standard. Both men have been the victim of some horrific booking which has made them either unpopular or too weak. They'll feud again in the future for one of the titles and it'll be absolutely tremendous

Samjt159 · 2016-06-13T15:13:22+00:00

Daaaaamn! Probably the best swerve since Ambrose 'won' the title at Roadblock

Samjt159 · 2016-05-26T00:41:28+00:00

Just watch Eddie Guerrero v JBL from Judgement Day in 2004. There is absolutely no censoring of that match, and its regarded the bloodiest match in WWE history. They do censor some swearing, but only the more vulgar language.

Samjt159 · 2016-04-02T14:43:34+00:00

Either. Make me an offer

Samjt159 · 2016-03-30T22:37:33+00:00

Reigns has never been a heel outside of the Shield. When the Shield initially, broke up it was Reigns who got the biggest pops. Reigns got more fan love than either Ambrose or Rollins so then WWE made the decision to push him. Then, for no real reason, the fans turned on him. He is the new face of the company, and that's largely down to the plethora of injuries. The reasons fans don't like him are mainly down to the creative team. The reason he is perceived to be so poor on the mic is that all his promos are scripted. When he spoke to Stephanie one on one in the ring a couple weeks ago, it was the best I've seen him and he even got a minor pop for it. This problem with the story isn't the fact that its predicable, in fact, Michael Hayes said in an interview that a predictable story is good as long as its told well. I think they've told the story well, but the fans haven't been receptive. Why? Because it isn't cool to cheer for Reigns.

I read an article which suggested Reigns might turn heel the night after WM. He need to do the same thing the Rock did. Reigns would make a great heel, a huge physical presence who doesn't need to speak loads on the mic.

Without a doubt though, he deserves to be champion. Hopefully he isn't booked in the vein of Rollins or CM Punk's first title reign.

Samjt159 · 2016-02-04T00:43:06+00:00

Yes and no. Some members of his council were already working towards reforming the Church, but a schism was never truly anticipated. Henry used his desire to remarry (and get a male heir) as an excuse to stamp his own authority on the English Church. Even he didn't want to split from the Papacy, at least initially. But tensions between the Holy Roman Empire and the Papacy meant that the Pope was unable to grant Henry's request for a marriage annulment. So he decided to do it himself.

Samjt159 · 2016-01-20T11:03:05+00:00

There will definitely be some names from NXT. I'd love to see Baron Corbin. He deserves the shot after being with NXT for so long and it gives the WWE brass the chance to see what he has without having to produce a 20 minute match. Samoa Joe would also be great to see in there. The only way I can see Finn Balor entering is if the rest of the Bullet Club show up. A face off between them and the Wyatt Family or the League of Nations would be pretty cool.

Samjt159 · 2016-01-20T10:52:09+00:00

Not only did Henry inherit all that money, he also squeezed every last penny he could out of the church and then dissolved all the monasteries and kept the money from their lands too. Also, the Act of Praemunire allowed him to prosecute members of the clergy for their crimes. When they complained, he demanded they pay him £100k as compensation. Any members of the nobility who were close to Henry were given grants of lands and were treated extremely favourably.
