Some teams are better than others like the Patriots, Steelers, Chargers, Eagles, Giants, and Panthers.  But overall every team is equal tonight.  All the analysts are making their predictions and bloggers are burning the midnight oil looking for that surprise player that will make a difference.  After looking around I must say there are some players that could explode this year and wake up their teams.  Time will tell.

Panther fans are relieved today knowing that Beason and Stewart both practiced yesterday.  I am thankful that we will have Steve Smith in the first game.  Nothing weird happened this year with Smith, but that could actually be a bad thing because every year that he has done something crazy the Panthers have made it to the playoffs.

Titans vs. Steelers Tonight 8:30 pm on NBC!

Let’s talk about tonight.  The Titans will roll into Steeler nation in hopes of giving the Super Bowl champs their first loss.  The hitting will be brutal and fans will be jacked.  The NFL picked a great match-up to start off the season.

Football fans get ready.  Sit back, relax and enjoy the game tonight!

LIVE Blogs and Updates All Season Long on Panther gameday…..Be There or Else!!!

A typical Sunday during regular season brings some exciting variables around my house.  I usually get up on Sunday morning, check my email, eat breakfast; shower up, put on my Panther garb and then get ready for the game.  I watch the pregame shows while picking my spot in the living room to watch the game.  As the pregame shows end the coverage flips to the game.  The music plays and the commentators welcome us to the matchup.  There is just something about gameday.

So to help me relieve the boredom, let’s jump ahead and look at the Carolina Panthers first regular season matchup versus the Philadelphia Eagles.

Donovan McNabb and company come calling to the Queen city of Charlotte on September 13th at 1:00pm.  I’m sure the media attention will be on Michael Vick but that will be okay with me.  I really don’t care what Vick does because the odds of him playing in the game are slim.  I think we will be treated to the DeAngelo show and McNabb will play with his usual flare.  Who knows, maybe Everette Brown will get his first NFL sack on McNabb.  Another questionable player is Brian Westbrook.  The Eagles star tailback is coming off of ankle surgery and this could slow him down hitting his gaps and cutting back against the grain.  We can only hope that his recovery isn’t 100% successful for Game 1 at Bank of America Stadium.

The biggest prayer that could be answered would be Jonathan Stewart running out through the tunnel in full battle gear.  If Stewart can get some reps; the Eagles defense will have a hard time stopping the run.

We only have 21 days left until kickoff.  Everybody get your jerseys ready and stock up the fridge.  Are you ready for some football??

By the way, the Panthers lost in preseason game #2 against the Dolphins.  Final score:  Panthers 17, Dolphins 27
