Carolina Panthers – Past and Present

It was at the later quarter of 1993 that the Carolina Panthers were awarded an NFL expansion franchise. Thousands of people literally celebrated with this good news. Businessman Jerry Richardson, the person who led Carolina’s bid, proclaimed the award to be a dream come true. The dream started way back 1987 when Richardson met other interested parties to discuss the feasibility of entering a multi-city competition for two NFL expansion franchises.

Everything was made official December of the same year. After a year of tedious planning, Hall of Fame Mike McCormack was hired as a consultant for the expansion effort. Selecting the stadium site was the first thing to be done and the site in Uptown Charlotte was chosen. Because of the huge efforts put into the Carolina’s franchise bid, a lot of support was received from then US Senators Jesse Helms and Ernest Hollings as well as Governors Carroll Cambell and Jim Martin.

Popular college floor mats

I have been showing my automotive dealers a moving product I picked up that display
college floor mats. As the dealers are eager to increase sales and will try
anything new; the program has been a winner. There are so many pro and college
football fans and they love to embody their team. Face it we all have automobiles and
mostly have inferior auto mats. I live on the coast so we are constantly tracking
sand into the car. These college mats collect the sand and I just pull it out and
empty it.

I am a University of South Carolina Fan and live in Charleston. The Carolina floor mats are the big seller along with Clemson mats. But what surprises me is the request for New York Yankee floor mats and Boston Red Sox mats. Their is such a movement from the north to live in SC. But they still love their teams. I even sold an Ohio State floor mat the other day. who would of thunk it!

NFL Power Rankings Week 10: Decided

All in all it was a 2-10 ATS count for Sunday betting in the NFL and a day like that can create a lot of hesitation for bettors making picks and sports freaks for the week ahead. Finally, NFL Power Rankings Week 10 are decided now.

It was a rough weekend for anyone betting favorites as teams like Tampa Bay, Tennessee and San Diego played well enough to not only ruin the bet for pointspread players, but teaser bettors as well.

The Buccaneers, complaining early in the week of lingering jetlag symptoms from their trip to jolly old London, paid moneyline bettors at more than 4-to-1 odds for that shocking defeat of the shattered, battered and bruised Packers team.

Even the favorites in Jacksonville, Indianapolis, New England and New Orleans –teams we all really expect to play well every week, won straight-up but failed to cover the spread. Oops, scratch the Jaguars from that ranking list.

The History Of The Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles came about in 1933 and were named for one of FDRs symbols of the New Deal during the Great Depression. They are based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and have made two Super Bowl appearances in the years 1980 and 2004 and have won three NFL titles.

They have several players who are in the pro football Hall of Fame. They include an owner and former NFL Commissioner Bert Bell and quite a few players. The players are Bob Brown, Reggie White, Chuck Bednarik, Steve Van Buren, Earle “Greasy” Neale, Tommy McDonald, Sonny Jurgensen, and Pete Pihos.

The team struggled during their first years as a team. They endured many a losing season during the 1930s. The 1940s were not much better when shortages in manpower due to World War II made it a time almost impossible to fill rosters and staff. In 1943 the manpower shortages were so bad that in order to field a team the Eagles temporarily merged with Pittsburgh Steelers to form

Todd Yoder makes a beautiful catch at the back of the endzone, keeping both feet in, against the Atlanta Falcons on 11/8/09. Why is it that the crowd seems to erupt in cheers after Yoder’s catch was ruled a touchdown? The Redskins were on the road, so are Falcons “fans” really that weak? Kind of sad how the Redskins sounded like they were the home team after that touchdown was scored. Anyone else agree? The Falcons would win the game 31-17.

NFL Predictions: 2010 NFC South Odds Favor Saints

The New Orleans Saints have opened as expensive -150 favorites to repeat as champions in NFC South odds with the Atlanta Falcons as the second choice at +200. The Carolina Panthers +600 were the third choice in 2010 NFL predictions at online sportsbooks while the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were the longshot offering at +2000. The defending Super Bowl Champion Saints may prove to be something of an overlay in 2010 NFL odds despite their obvious ability, especially on offense. While the Drew Brees led offense can seemingly score at will the defense is still questionable and the fear of a Super Bowl hangover, which is a challenge for any championship team, is a legitimate concern.

The Saints have the advantage of playing in one of the weakest divisions in pro football, but there are two teams that have had recent success who may rise to provide a challenge. The Atlanta Falcons were the surprise team of the NFC South in NFL predictions for the 2008

Nfl Power Rankings – Conference Championship Edition

Well, boys and girls, it comes down to this. Two men enter, one man leaves. The Holy Grail of Gambling is just eight short quarters away and I truly believe that we have the two best teams in each conference matched up to decide who gets to plunge into the two-week gauntlet of Sex, Money, and Depravity that lead up to the Super Bowl.

I’m not going to waste your time rehashing the same hackneyed storylines this week. If you don’t know that:

A) Tom Brady is good in the playoffs. Peyton Manning isn’t.

B) Bill Belichick is good in the playoffs. Tony Dungy isn’t.

C) Adam Vinatieri used to kick for the Pats and now kicks for the Colts. He will most likely decide the game.

D) New Orleans was destroyed by a biblical flood and an incompetent government – both federal and local – and the team was displaced as a result. They are what is commonly referred to as a “Feel Good Story”.

E) The
