CHILLING STUFF
Something that I haven't hit on here about the Carolina Panthers is the fact that they have been through a lot of deep stuff over the past couple of seasons.
Let me rattle off the names...
Rae Carruth.
Fred Lane.
Kerry Collins.
Carruth was convicted of killing his pregnant girlfriend. Lane was shot by his wife, who was sentenced to eight months for voluntary manslaughter. And Collins, the man who led the Panthers to their first NFC Championship Game in 1996, had a huge problem with the bottle.
As for events on the field, this Panthers franchise was 1-15 in 2001.
Two years later, they are in the Super Bowl. I'll go as far to say that John Fox deserved Coach of the Year honors more than Bill Belichick did. What Fox has done with this Panthers team is just incredible.
That being said, 2004 will be the year for the Seahawks. We can only hope.
