NRR: 12-Year-Old Sends Letter to All 32 NFL Teams, and Only the Panthers Respond

[Boffo97]

Well, I thought this was kind of neat of the Panthers...

Sometimes, it's tough to pick a team to root for. So why not just ask the teams?

That's exactly what 12-year-old Cade Pope did.

The sixth-grader from Oklahoma wrote a letter to every owner of every NFL team asking who he should support. Of the 32 teams, only one responded.

Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson sent Cade a handwritten letter that stated, "Cade, we would be honored if our Carolina Panthers became your team. We would make you proud by the classy way we represent you."

The letter also came with a replica Panthers helmet signed by Pro Bowl linebacker Luke Kuechly.

"If this is the only team that responds to me, I'm a Carolina Panthers fan," said Pope.

I guess the little butthole doesnt know who Sam Bradford is and where he came from.

Cant blame him for not knowing sam. Its not like he actually plays these days.

Very humbling to see an NFL team owner carry out such a nice gesture.

Class act Mr. Richardson

Wow, 31 other PR departments missed out on an opportunity.

How stupid is that?

Well, my granddaughter sent out a Flat Stanley to several teams a few years ago. The ONLY team that cared enough to take Flat Stanley around and have him posed with players, coaches and office personnel was the St. Louis Rams.

My granddaughter was so thrilled -- she is a member of the Junior Fan Club -- that she is a dyed-in-the-wool Rams' fan to this very day.

Pretty classy of the Rams.

I will say this, it took them a while to get Flat Stanley and the various photos back to her. I think it is just a case of having so much to do that they put some tasks on the back burner.

Flat Stanley is a cardboard cutout of a cartoon figure. My granddaughter's sort of looked like Gumby, but not the color of Gumby. https://www.flatstanley.com/about?subpage=mobile

For some reason, I can't get the image to appear so here is the link.

Thank you.
I wasn't sure either

I actually never had a problem with the Panthers until that dirty hit on Sam. Freak them. I don't care if their owner responded to some little kid.

 

[Big Willie]

They would have all responded if he would have sent them a check or asked about buying a PSL. It's all about the Benjamins.

Now I want to initiate a one night stand with a Carolina Panther...Preferably a panther cheerleader!

 

[Irish]

Not surprised Stan didn't respond. He doesn't respond to anybody about anything!

Put duct tape over the mouth and you got yourself a Rams owner!
