panther pride!!

I still think the panthers should win the superbowl this year if they make the playoff's. The panthers were picked by alot of sports writer's in the beginning of the season to win it all. They have lost the first two games of the season and I still think they can win the big one. They were picked at the beginning of the season ,because they have a complete team. They are overall complete at every postion. They thought they would win mainly because we have good D and and some weapons to use on the O side. We started out 0-2 and our LT was out for the season and Steve Smith was also injured with his hammy problem. I still think we are going to win it all because we have a hard nose shcedule ahead of us. I believe our record will stink this year with all our hard games ahead of us. The panthers remind me of the Pitt team that won it all last season. The Pitt team had a very hard scedule and made it into a wild card spot last year and went all the way. I believe they went all the way because of the fact that they played everybody and there bothers last year, they faced every tough team in the regular season and when they got in the playoff's they kind have allready seen and faced every thing from alot of good teams. I believe the panthers will do the same thing this year. I dont care what anybody has to say about the panthers they are in the toughest divsion in the league. The saints are 3-0 at this point with ATL doing there thing and we have the defending NFC south winner at the bottem. The panthers also play the hardest divison in the AFC. They play the Bengals,Ravens,browns and the defending superbowl champs the steelers. The panthers have a beast of a schedule and if they make it threw the gaunlet, they have the team that can win it all. They lost last year in the playoffs because Seattle ran all over them and were just out gunned. This year is not like last year, we brought in Kemo a big DT from the Raven and revamped our D line and our O line by bringing in Justin Hartwig at center. They wont run all over us this year, thats for sure. We also brought in K. Johnson to go aside Smith and that was much needed. Last year in the playoff's smith was not double team, not trippled team but he had 4 guys covering his butt, and no one else to throw too on the other side. We started out slow this season, but it has been that way since coach Fox has gotten here. Fox always starts out slow and then we get better as the season goes along. I will tell you why Fox starts slow and why he is one of the best coaches in football. He learns and he adapts to his envriment. If something is not working ,he does his homework and prepares like non other. I will give you a qiuck example of this. This monday night the Siants beat ATL 23-3. I know were better than the saints but we lost 26-3 in home opener game vs the falcons. The saints did there homework and found away to stop vick. They adapted and overcame vick and company. Fox gets better because he can plan the games better when he see's what needs to be fixed. You cant do that with the first game of the season. The second games we beat ourselfs and just about lost the 3rd game. We will get better as the season goes on. The panthers have to play NO,browns,Ravens in the next 3 games. We must win all 3 of those games, and if we do we have a good chance of making the playoff's. That would put us at 4-2 going into the heart of the brutal schedule. We then will face STL,CIN,PITT,ATL,BUCS,NO,Giants,Dallas,Redskins,Philly and not in that order. That is a dog fight of a shcedule and if we get past that there is only one team out there thats not a power house that we have not faced and that is INDY and we should see them in the superbowl if we make it that far. We should go around 9-7or 10-6 this year and if Smith stays healthy we will be the team to beat this year. He is the best WR in the game as of last year and will be hard for anyone to stop.

The bell has wrung!!!

I just got into stockcar racing and my very good friend Matt Bell is racing go carts this weekend and he has done pretty well for his self. He is getting married soon as has a new house to live in. Ole Matt is doing pretty well and I am very glad for him. I think he has found his way because he is kicking major but in the go cart feild. He races in light stock and heavy stock I believe. They have points just like the real guys do and most of the big boys that race every sunday has started out in the the same boat as Bell. He is first in light stock and and 2nd in medium or heavy stock I am not sure. Either way he is kicking the pants off of the other drivers. Matt Bell is true sports guy like my self, and I admire his passion of sports. Like my self he has the edge to win race's because he is so detremined to win and be better. I played football and baseball with Matt and he was great in all of those sports. He was under sized at just about all sports but he still held his own and did pretty good at most sports. He has taking this way of thinking and put this on the track, and he has smoked everyone because he cant be beat and he wont be beat. The one thing I have learned about Bell was that he grew up around moter's and fixing them up, so he has great knowledge of moters. You take someone with great Knowledge of a certain thing and add a sports freek like bell to the mix, then you have your hands full my friend and I think the people in the racing feild are starting understand that now aswell. Good luck Matt in you chase for money!! The bell has finaly wrung and everybody at the track has heard it!!!!
