In the world of NFL football it is uncommon to consider any game played in September to be a must win. The Carolina Panthers have painted themselves into quite the corner to start the season. In week one NFL action, the Panthers laid a horrible rotten egg against the powerful Philadelphia Eagles. This game was eerily reminiscent of the Jake Delhomme massacre in the 2008 NFC playoff game against the Arizona Cardinals. To Jake Delhomme’s credit, he did rebound during week two against NFC South powerhouse Atlanta. In spite of a much better game the Panthers still came away with a loss.
Panthers and Cowboys Face Must Win On Monday Night Football
What is Wrong with Jake Delhomme?
Trying to figure out why any NFL quarterback is struggling is tough to do, but in the case of Carolina Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme it is downright absurd. Here is a quarterback that has everything going for him as far as players and organization. Yet still, he has turned the ball over eleven times over the course of two games dating back to the 08 season.
NFL Season Set To Kick Off - Are You Ready?
The 2009 NFL football season is upon us and it almost seems impossible. Was it really that long ago that the Arizona Cardinals gave the Pittsburgh Steelers all they can handle in the Super Bowl? More importantly, what are the burning questions that are being asked in NFL football circles? Here are some of the hottest NFL questions that are about to be answered, along with some predictions as to how they might turn out.
Panther’s Injuries Starting To Pile Up
The Carolina Panther were all set to be a powerhouse in the NFC South this season. They had all the pieces in place, and a clear cut goal - a Super Bowl Championship. While those are lofty goals for many teams, it is not really outside the realm of possibility for the Panthers. They have the best running game in the NFL with DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart, and they have one of the premiere wide receivers in the game in Steve Smith. Even the defense was looking up with Julius Peppers not leaving as planned. Then came the pre-season injury bug.
The Best Sports Rivalries In America
The one thing that makes sports special in America is rivalries. This is the very essence of sporting competition. Sports rivalries can be the driving force behind an entire sport. Some sports rivalries are between two college teams, and some are between pro teams. Sometimes a sports rivalry is about two specific players or participants. All sports rivalries have several things in common, however - passion, intensity, and excitement. Here is a look at some of the greatest sports rivalries in America:
Favre Already Making Waves In Vikings Locker Room
One had to expect that the signing of Brett Favre by the NFL Minnesota Vikings would be a bit of a circus. Just looking at Favre’s constant retirement/un-retirement sagas of the last few years would have told us that. Now it seems that the Vikings locker room is at best divided, and at worst close to mutiny as to which quarterback should pilot the ship. I have news for the Vikings players - They are wasting their breath. Brett Favre, for better or worse, will start and run the Viking ship this season barring injury.
Kurt Angle Still TNA World Champion Despite Arrest
TNA Wrestling has now decided that the poster child for their organization, the person who represents the best of their company, should be Kurt Angle. Angle was recently arrested for breaking a restraining order against his girlfriend, and also assorted other charges including having HGH. The decision to keep the world championship on Angle is one that most wrestling fans are finding to be puzzling at best.
Can Jay Cutler Turn The Bears Into Super Bowl Contenders?
When the Chicago Bears got Jay Cutler, perhaps nobody was more surprised than the average Chicago Bear fan. It seemed to materialize out of nowhere, and the Bears fans surely did not see it coming. Jay Cutler under center for the Bears still feels weird even months later, and it has to make one wonder if the fit will take. What many people outside of Chicago do not realize is that Jay Cutler is not your average everyday quarterback. He is not just a rocket arm with no brains. The guy understands the game. Still, can Cutler do what no other quarterback in recent years could do for the Bears? Can he take them to the Super Bowl?
Can The Dallas Cowboys Finally Win In The Playoffs?
The Dallas Cowboys are now in a position to prove themselves yet again. In an off season where the Cowboys made most headlines due to subtraction, the Cowboys may just have shaken off that curse that has kept them out of playoff success for so long. The Cowboys parted ways with many football players that we are used to seeing in blue and silver, most notably the distraction that is Terrell Owens. The Cowboys also no longer have SS Roy Williams, LB Zack Thomas, and old man quarterback Brad Johnson on the team. These subtractions are not necessarily a bad thing for the Cowboys.
The Evolution Of Professional Wrestling
Pro wrestling has been a form of entertainment for a very long time, and has seen it’s share of ups and downs. While never technically considered a “real sport” among sportsmen, a great number of fans would beg to differ. Today’s giant of the professional wrestling, the WWE, has stated clearly that it is sports entertainment. That is, it is scripted and predetermined as to the outcome of each wrestling match. The storylines that permeate the WWE have become legendary and something akin to the soap opera of the sporting world.
