It was never about a man or one of his cronies letting a little air out of a football. Not by a longshot. No one knows this like fans of the Carolina Panthers.
My name is Erik Sommers, and I am not a Patriots fan. My team, the Carolina Panthers, will not play the Patriots team this year in the regular season, and the ruling handed down yesterday by Judge Richard M. Berman will have no effect on my team's ability to make the playoffs.
But I am still angry. All Carolina Panthers fans should be angry.
