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.
WWE Night Of Champions Shaping Up To Be Quite An Event
With the huge number of pay per view events that the WWE puts on every year, it takes a pretty good bit of storyline building to make them interesting. In recent months, the WWE has fell drastically short on this end. Fortunately, for the upcoming Night of Champions pay per view, they have done a much better job. The WWE has really worked on building some unique feuds and storylines, and this should make Night of Champions a pretty good one. Here are the matches along with my predictions for the outcome:
The Top College Volleyball Programs In The United States
Volleyball is a competitive sport that can be enjoyed by both men and women. If you are interested in playing volleyball at the college level, there are many different options available for you to choose from. Although you can play volleyball at just about any college or university, there are some which have better teams than others. Here are the top colleges to play volleyball.
WWE Divas That Should Get More Respect For Ringwork
For years the WWE Divas had one real job in the WWE. To come out, and be pretty. Those days are long gone now. The WWE Divas of today are true athletes. They are still pretty, and are capable of turning virtually any man’s head, but they are also wrestlers. Some are better than others to be sure, but they are wrestlers.
There is a fairly good sized group of WWE Divas that bust their butts in the ring, and yet they still do not get the due that they deserve. Professional wrestling is about many things, and acting is certainly one of the more important ones. Pro wrestlers are expected to not only perform physically, but they also have to perform in character. There are a few WWE Divas in particular that are fantastic in this role, and yet they do not get the push that they should.
