So this kid mails letters 8 days ago to every AFC team and is surprised he has not gotten a response yet?
Did he write at the bottom "P.S. Give me free stuff and I'll let the media know how nice you are."

Looks like a mom who couldn't wait to throw her kids in front of a camera. Probably trying to get a TLC reality show.
Quote:Seriously?
You're telling me that Khan or Mark Lamping couldn't take 5 or 10 mins out of their day to write a playful return letter to a kid? Then why was Jerry Richardson the only one to write back?
I know at the end of the day this doesn't matter, but I would expect Khan and Co to have more courtesy than this. Maybe its really just me but I would have been more than willing to write back to this kid if I was in their shoes.

And they should be ashamed? What a load of crap. Do you have any idea how much mail these guys must get? As someone else said...it's been eight days. Should Khan be more 'ashamed' than the other 30 teams that haven't responded yet? What a bunch of hooey.
Ashamed. LOL!!!
This is dumb.... This kinda stuff just screams some type of PR Stunt or like looking for fame.
Also the time frame is super slim IMO.
That is NOT Jerry Richardson's handwriting. I have met Jerry Richardson when he used to coach the Cougars and went by the name Coach Beaulieu.

Did you read the story? The kid mailed out letters to every AFC team on January 5th. Today is January 13th. 8 days.
Should Khan have put wheels on the Kismet and drove to Oklahoma to give this kid an authentic helmet and a scooter ride with Jaxson De Ville.

You're entitled to your opinion, but I disagree. If these teams really do get so much mail then why did Jerry Richardson and the Panthers reply? Afterall, they probably get as much mail as any other team out there and Richardson still took time out of his day to reply. Do you even have any official statistics on how much mail NFL teams actually get?
It seems like its okay to criticize the players and Bradley, but if there's so much as a tiny negative remark about Khan or the management, everyone gets defensive.

Just because the kid has gotten one response doesn't mean one isn't coming.
FYI - Shad Khan doesn't operate out of EverBank Field. He is in IL most of the time. So, if the kid sent the letter to Khan, odds are he hasn't even seen the stinking thing yet, making your "ashamed" comment even more laughable.

Bingo.
But, Khan and Lamping should be ashamed.
I'd say the OP should be embarrassed for starting such a ridiculous thread, but....

Why are you taking such offense to this story? As others have mentioned its only been 8 days. For all you know Khan and 15 other owners could have sent the kid a response/care package yesterday and it hasn't gotten there yet.

So you didn't answer my other question.
Should the other 30 owners also be 'ashamed'? Why are you singling out Khan and Co? You don't understand that the Panthers are the ONE team out of the norm here?
God, how overly melodramatic can you get...
All team owners should drop whatever it is they are doing and check fan mail every hour so this tragedy cant happen again.

Khan and Co. should feel ashamed of themselves for not responding to this kid and potentially bringing in a new fan.
If a stranger walks up to you and hands you $100 bill, should every other stranger that walks by you and doesn't hand you money feel ashamed?

They mailed the NFC letters out on December 26 and mailed the AFC letters out on the Jan 5th. NFC got a little more time to respond don't you think?

Yes dammit! I want more hundreds.
