With The Playoffs Comes Respect

from Greg Cote of the Miami Herald,
A large sign in the Panthers’ dressing room is a one-word declarative in two-foot letters, white on red:
RESPECT.
Eight consecutive years out of the playoffs and you lose that.
You have to play your way back in to begin to get some back.
That is where the Panthers are today. This is not a franchise fully reborn. Too many empty seats in the house Thursday to say that.
But blind hope has been replaced by a reason to believe.
It didn’t happen Thursday night, but these Cats are clawing, fighting to make this team matter again in the constant shadow of Dolphins and Marlins, Hurricanes and Heat.
It has been way, way too long.
