The Year I Won A Gold Medal & The Florida Panthers

Back in 2008, myself along with a few classmates of mine had the honor of representing the United States in Beijing for the 2008 Summer Olympics. We spent that summer hanging with Kobe Bryant, Carmelo, and 0 Washington Wizards. We were dominant on the basketball court. I must have thrown about 20 alley-oops in those games...At least this was according to Wikipedia at some point in time (and was up for like 4 days, our professor made us do it)...

So keeping that in mind, I found some interesting facts about Florida panthers on wiki. You can always tell a lot about a team by its mascot...

• Cam Newton is the Quarterback
• Florida Panthers are endangered, and lack the ability to roar (lame!)
• Most Florida Panthers weigh only 160lbs, should be easy to check them into the boards
• Florida Panthers eat deer and Wild Hogs (Dvd's?)
• 

• Florida Panthers are Cougars like Courtney Cox, which is so 2009 (everyone knows that Super-Grannies are in for 2012)
• One of the reasons to get NHL 94' (everyone really only cared about playing as the Mighty Ducks)
• Team was started by Blockbuster Video (off of the money we used to pay in late fees?)
• At some point in time was co-owned by Jordan Zimmerman (The Nats Pitcher?)

See! Look at all that exciting knowledge about Florida panthers. That information should be really relevant to the game tonight, especially in a metaphorical way.
