Sad Times in New England

If you have any interest in sports and watch ESPN at any point in the day, you already know that on Sunday afternoon, the New England Patriots quarterback, Tom Brady, was injured and is going to be out for the season. During the first quarter of the game, last year's MVP was hit in the left knee and is now going to have to undergo season ending surgery. For anyone who has read some of my past blogs, you know that I have only been an NFL fan for the past couple of years (since I began dating a die hard New England fan). I have to say however, that support of New England was not forced upon me. It may have been strongly encouraged, but rooting for a team that has the history New England has, that goes undefeated for almost an entire season, and has a quarterback like Tom Brady (who is loved on and off the field (especially by the ladies)) has not been hard. Yesterday, when they announced that Tom Brady would be out for the season, I found myself very disappointed. Sporting my red, white, and blue #12 jersey when the Patriots are playing just won't be the same. I have to say, however, that I will still be rooting for the team and hope that they do a good job of making the most of the hand they have been dealt. They have a strong team and should be just fine.
Aside from New England, I have also come to love the Carolina Panthers. A lot of that is probably because they are so closeby. Charlotte is only an hour away and it has been a blast to get to go to Wofford College located right here in Spartanburg to watch the Panthers training camp. It is lots of fun to support a team that you feel like you have had the opportunity to see up close and personal. Not to mention, I absolutely love the color of their uniforms. They have only been a mediocre team for the past couple of years but have still been fun to watch. As a matter of fact, I was watching the end of their game on Sunday which was probably the most exciting game yet this year where they pulled off a last second comeback to upset the San Diego Chargers. Despite some of the disappointing injuries (the one to Brady in particular), it looks like this years NFL season could be very interesting and entertaining to watch!!
