Not going to lie, thoroughly enjoying this Ric Flair

trolljob of the Panthers fans, I feel like this is a real life WWE angle playing out here where Ric Flair turns heel and starts telling the crowd to shut up.

Oh and I'm really shocked Steve Smith is the most vocal about this, he's normally so quiet :/

Jim Harbaugh: Root for two teams

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh is happy pro wrestler Ric Flair is supporting his team.

He also doesn't understand why that should bother Carolina Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith, who earlier this week said Flair -- who long has had North Carolina ties and has been friendly with several Panthers players -- burned bridges with the team because of that support.

"What's the matter with having two favorite teams? Is that a crime?" Harbaugh said Wednesday. "My opinion would be that it doesn't make you a bad person to have two favorite football teams."

At the request of the 49ers, Flair flew to Appleton, Wis., to address San Francisco on Saturday night prior to the team's wild-card win over Green Bay on Sunday.

"I think Ric Flair's a fantastic guy," Harbaugh said. "I had a chance to spend quite a bit of time with him, half-hour, hour or so on Saturday. And then, of course, he spoke to our team. He spoke very highly of Carolina and his friendships with the Carolina Panthers."

The move, though, rubbed Smith the wrong way, particularly as the Panthers and 49ers prepare for their NFC divisional matchup Sunday.

"As a guy who actually has a Ric Flair robe I'm real disappointed in seeing that. Real disappointed," Smith told The Charlotte Observer on Monday. "I'm not sure if he'll get the invite here. That Golden Gate Bridge has been burned."

THE PANTHERS WERE GOOD FOR A HOMETOWN RIDE, BUT THERE AIN'T NOTHING LIKE THE LADIES FROM THE CALIFORNIA COAST. WHEN SLICK RICK ROLLS INTO TOWN ALL THE PANTIES HIT THE FLOOR. I GOT THE ROLEX WATCH, THE ALLIGATOR SHOES, BORN WITH A GOLDEN SPOON IN MY MOUTH! WHEN THE NINERS ROLL INTO MY TOWN OF CHARLOTTE WE'LL BE FLYING HIGH AS CHAMPIONS...SIX TIME, SIX TIME, SIX TIME, SIX TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS. WE STICK TOGETHER BROTHER. SO STEVE SMITH, IF YOU WANNA KEEP RUNNING YOUR MOUTH, MEET ME IN THE SQUARED CIRCLE BROTHER, BECAUSE WHETHER YOU LIKE IT, OR DON'T LIKE IT SIT DOWN AND TAKE A LOOK AT IT BROTHER, BECAUSE IT IS STILL THE BEST...THING GOING...TODAY...

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

What I took from this story:

Well he is the limousine riding, jet flying, kiss-stealing,

Space Mountain may be the oldest ride in the park,

Why not get two, and have one for upstairs too?

Noted.

The man can't pay cash money for a deck.

Not sure Ric Flair is a "fantastic guy"***

No. Me neither.

No....I'm actually very sure of that fact.

Dude, Panthers are toast...Ric is backing the winner here

He's got a robe and boa at the Smithsonian.

LEMME TELL YOU SOMTHIN TONY SCHIAVONE
