Last night kicked off the first round of the 2012 NFL Draft! This has to be one of the most exciting football events each year. Just like last year, I spent Draft Day (night) at the Carolina Panthers Draft Party at Bank of America Stadium. The crowd wasn't nearly as large as last year, which is understandable.

This past weekend I hosted 9 old friends, new friends, readers, and followers, as well as my sister for a weekend of fun and football. A few drove from across town to attend the game with me, while others traveled from Maryland, Georgia, and Alabama (and one who lives in Charlotte actually drove back home from New Jersey just in time for the game). By Sunday, everyone was ready to see the Carolina Panthers take on division rival New Orleans Saints. The game was fun and exciting and kept us on the edge of our seats, but luckily, my Saints pulled out the victory over the Panthers. After the game we had Read More ...
