Seriously, Peyton, I'm with you. Are you people really arguing about what constitutes a celebrity??

A former football player who was decent is NOT a star nor a celebrity, nor should people generally care what they do with their lives. It would be akin to thinking someone is a celebrity because they are an anchor on a local morning show. Just because someone is in the public eye for a period of time does not mean they are automatically labelled a "star," it just means that people actually watch them do their job.

I'm sorry....I know you guys hateme but I got to chime in on this.......the fact the charlotte observer even had an article about them makes me ponder their accredication within media....star power seriously?? (Sigh)....just for kicks and giggles I asked about 50 different people (I work as a bartender part time) and NO ONE know who either or was.....so they aren't bringing much of anything to Charlotte....nothing against them I am sure they are beautiful people...but celebrities that createbuzz within the industry.....uuuuhhh nooo...so if Charlotte thinks they are celebs I must be one also because I had my own radio shows in Atlanta and Macon Ga.....who wants my autograph...lol...

Btw being in the nfl doesn't qualify you for celeb status....anyone know Josh Gattis?? I went to hs school with him and he played for the Jaguars....he must be a celeb too then??

If you did some reading as to why they came to Charlotte you would see that they aren't looking to "bring anything" or "create a buzz". I think this thread has discussed them more than the media has.

How is Jason Sehorn any different than any of the current Panther players that live in town?
