If Tony Romo, Mark Sanchez, Michael Vick or any other quasi-unlikable NFL figure penned a letter to their local newspaper about how their perspective team was going to win a Super Bowl, it would lead SportsCenter, NFL Network, CNN, TVOne, Oxygen, Versus, Lifetime, Fox News, MSNBC, and BET at the top of every hour.
Instead, Carolina Panthers center Ryan Kalil released this letter to the Charlotte Observer, which means you’ll forget he ever did this by next spring…unless the Panthers actually win the Super Bowl.
Then, he’ll become Joe Namath Jr.

Joe Montana's Right Arm 
I like his attitude. He is showing his confidence in his teammates and coaching staff without ticking off other teams by personally attacking them.
Reblogged this on But at the end of the day… and commented:
If a bigger name did this, all the major media outlets would lose their minds over it. But since it’s the lowly Panthers, it’s a blip on their radar. I am not a fan of guarantees or any of that sort and I would prefer nobody do it. But hey, it makes for a good storyline in February whether or not it comes true.
Nice to see some swagger back in the Panther’s camp. I’m not sure I would have done this, puts a big bulls eye on your team.
It sure does. For a team that really wasn’t in the hunt a division title, not the smartest thing to do.
