Does anybody have any information about the Panthers shopping Julius Peppers?

Sunday, September 13th, 2009

I keep on hearing and seeing rumors that Carolina is quietly shopping Julius Peppers.

I have yet to find anything real on the internet, except for one short mention of it on NFL.com.

Anyone hear anything else? Please provide links if you have info, as unsourced information is useless.
I repeat, unsourced comments are pointless.

In other words he wants to go to new england is not what I am looking for.

I am looking for people who have heard or read information about this and can point me towards actual information.

I bought my boyfriend of 3 months Carolina Panther vs. Giants tickets. How should i give them to him?

Sunday, September 13th, 2009

I know 3 months isn’t long, but I’m more of a giver than receiver anyway. But I want to hear some idea’s of how to give him the tickets… Anything? :)
I know 3 months isn’t long, but I’m more of a giver than receiver anyway. I got 2 tix (for me for him). And its for a combination of Christmas and his Bday (which is in January). He’s a Giants fan. I also bought him an official jersey (don’t worry though, that was only $40 for me bc i know someone)… So any idea’s on how to give him the tickets??

I was thinking of giving him the jersey and sayign here, wear this while u watch the game, and later in the day say oh, btw, we’re going to the Panther/Giant game on 12/21 :D

Has anyone ever been to a pro-sporting event where a prayer was said prior to the game starting?

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

I’m a Carolina Panther fan who has noticed that there is always a public invocation before kickoff?

Is this done at any other stadium?

Anyone else think it’s kind of strange to assume that 77,000 people want to participate in a public prayer?

Serious answers please, derogatory comments about the Panthers are not needed.

OK who do i start as my defense in fantasy this week?

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

SO i asked this question last week and I have another problem and must ask it again. last week i chose wrong. My defenses get big points for defensive and special teams touchdowns and some points for margin of victory so I ask you do I start bucs at home against the carolina panthers or jags in denver? Im basically asking who will do better with the added thought that special teams and defensive touchdowns are worth more and winning the game is big too…

First Round NFL Draft Picks For 2008

Saturday, September 5th, 2009
This year’s National Football League draft is being held in New York. Like the NFL drafts before it, it will be exciting to see the results. The NFL picks of this year should be interesting to say the least. There are risks and rewards to each and every pick in the draft this year as there were in every one before it. NFL picks are sorts of like gambling for the teams and owners involved in the draft, especially after the first round picks. Most of the first few picks in the first round are known before the draft even begins, although sometimes a team may surprise both fans and players alike by selecting a different player than was predicted.

Before the National Football League started the draft, the top six picks in this year’s draft were six players who were all invited by the league to New York for the annual event. Aaron Rodgers and Brady Quinn were two players invited to this event that were simply sitting in the green room while they were passed up by team after team. It is hard to know what they must have been feeling like as they were expecting to be taken right off the get go and were not. There have already been eight trades in the first round and there are plenty of questions for the teams that are doing the picking.

Yes, the NFL picks this year seem to be quite controversial. The Jets took Purdue’s Dustin Keller, who is a tight end, a position that the jets did not really need filled. The Baltimore Ravens took the hot quarterback from the combine, who was Delaware’s Joe Flacco. Most look at this young pick as needing a year or two more of development so the pick should pay off later down the line for them. Then the Raiders who are supposedly overstocked with running backs took Darren McFadden as the overall fourth pick. Really, McFadden can be looked upon as being the best player in the draft, but with all those running backs that they already have some wonder why this particular NFL pick was made.

One of the strangest picks from the draft came from left field when the Carolina Panthers traded away their next year’s first round pick to Philadelphia to choose the offensive tackle Jeff Otah. Cleveland, on the other hand, made a great decision to give up their first round pick for the quarterback Brady Quinn. A quarterback is quite simply the most valuable commodity that a team can have. Last year, San Francisco gave away its first round pick for the tackle Joe Staley, but this was also not a bad move seeing that Staley was showing a lot of promise. However, the Carolina Panthers have made a bad decision in the eyes of most by giving up their first round pick for Jeff Otah.

The Patriots ended up getting Tennessee’s Jerod Mayo in the first round picks. Jerod Mayo is the second highest rated linebacker, so this was an excellent pick. It is hard to say what will happen with the rest of the draft, but we will have the results soon enough.

How The Carolina Panthers Made History

Saturday, September 5th, 2009
The Carolina Panthers is based in Charlotte, North Carolina and is a member of the National Football League (NFL), representing both North and South Carolina. They are one of the four teams playing in the South Division of the National Football Conference (NFC). The Panthers began playing as 1995 NFL expansion teams, along with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Panthers uniforms are colored black, blue and silver. They play at the Ericsson Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina.

A lucky start

Merely two years since the team was instituted, they won in their division and qualified to compete at the playoffs in the 1996 season. Never had any other expansion NFL team were able to achieve success that early. The year before, they won seven games-the most number of wins by an expansion team. Panthers owner and founder Jerry Richardson was awarded a new NFL franchise in 1993, the first one after 1976 (when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Seattle Seahawks were given a franchise).

The worst season

The 2001 NFL season was a disaster for the Carolina Panthers. In fact, it was their worst year. They would go down in history for having the most consecutive losses in NFL record, losing 15 straight games and finishing with a 1-15 record. Two seasons later, under the wing of head coach John Fox, they were able to reverse their fortunes and finished the regular season with an 11-5 record. They continued on to the playoffs after winning the South Division Title of the National Football Conference and went on to compete at the Super Bowl XXXVIII against the New England Patriots. They could have won that season but four seconds on the clock, their chances of winning were undone by the Patriots’ Adam Vinatieri who kicked a 41-yard field goal leading to the Panthers’ defeat.

A close call

Dom Capers, former Pittsburgh Steelers Assistant coach, was the Panthers’ first head coach. In their first season in 1995, they lost their first five games but recovered pretty well during their last 11 games, winning seven games in all, thanks to Panthers receivers Willie Green and Mark Carrier. The Panthers defeated the San Francisco 49ers, which was the defending league champion during that time-again, the first ever instance in NFL history for an expansion team. In 1996, the Panthers proved its professional status yet again by winning 12 games in the NFL and getting the North Western Division Title in the NFC. At that time, the Panthers had put together an impenetrable team including running back Anthony Johnson and quarterback Kerry Collins; Pro Bowl linebackers Lamar Lathon, Kevin Greene, and Sam Mills, which made up the the second-best defense in the NFC; Placekicker John Kasay who converted 37 field goals on a league record; and league’s top kickoff returner Michale Bates who averaged 30.2 yards per return. Dom Capers was named coach of the year. After defeating the Dallas Cowboys during the playoffs, the Panthers lost to the Green Bay Packers who went on to become that season’s Super Bowl Champions.
