Where I work, the Monday morning talk is more about college football than the pro games. That is until playoff season.
There are a smathering of Panthers fans, but it seems like it's more of a social outing more than really rooting for the home team on the field. It's seems that the locals like the Panthers, but they're loyal to their "established" favorites.
I do have to admit it's nice to see fans have Panther stickers on their cars, etc, but they don't go overboard like some places. I used to almost vomit at the sign of burgundy and gold painted cars, mailboxes, "fans", etc in the Northern VA area.
My DW is a big Steelers / Colts fan. I've been a longtime Dallas fan and I like to pick an underdog each year to pull for (except the Lions; they're just pathetic). In the past few years, it's been the Texans, the Jets, the Falcons, etc.
