Panther Update as requested

In Charlotte, the Panthers home opener appeared all too familiar through three quarters. The panthers had a lack of a running game and two dumb plays to spot the bears 14 points off turnovers. In the very first series the panthers punt was blocked and recovered for a touchdown by Chicago. The panthers managed to cut the lead to 10-3 by the half when Jake and co’ finally started moving the ball through the air to set up a John Kasey field goal. In the second half a Jake Delhomme Int led to another bears score as the pass was bobbled by Jeff King who then tossed it over his shoulder to the Bears defender.

Trailing 17-3 with not much going on offensively the panthers inserted Jonathon Stewart in to the line up. The result was all she wrote for the Bear D. With Stewart in the line up the Bears could no longer stack the box. JS averaged 5.8 yards a carry for the game and broke several tackles making huge plays to put the bears on their heels. Riding him and Delhomme’s gun the panthers got a field goal to cut the lead to 17-6. A series later, thanks to a Chris Harris strip, Stewart found pay dirt with his first NFL TD, 17-13. The panthers D kept Chicago in check and we saw the anemic Orton run offense that bears fans have become accustomed to love. Delhomme hit Jeff King on a nice slant route to put the panthers on the 1 yard line with under 5 minutes left to play. Stewart then bulldozed his way into the end zone for his second NFL TD.

After holding Bears to 3 and out, the panthers got the ball back to run out the clock but couldn’t convert on third down. The Bears had one more shot with 2 minutes to go down 17-20. The bears picked up 9 yards on first down, then followed with two incompletions. On 4th and 1 from the 49 yardline, with the game on the line, the panthers D rose to the occasion. Ironically, they called in the “bear " goaline defense, which calls for 5 defensive line men to jam the middle. Orton handed the ball to the fullback who had about as much of a chance as tick does to get laid. The play was stuffed like tom tom at an all you can eat Tuna buffet! Panthers win 20-17 in comeback (not to be confused with cumface, gray) fashion without Steve Smith…

The gamecocks’ could learn a lot from their father figure in the upper Carolina’s.

good times in Tampa for the panthers

Not only did the Panthers beat the Bucs in Tampa, there cheerleaders got drunk and had sex with each other at a bar. Good times. Check this out!

The Charlotte Observer initially reported that a police report indicated Kristen Owen, 22 and Angela Keathley, 26, were arrested after an incident at Banana Joe's in the city's Channelside district. One cheerleader was charged with battery, the other with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.

According to the Observer, the police report claims the two cheerleaders were having sex with each other in a stall at the bar when other patrons got angry they were taking so long in the bathroom. Then one of the cheerleaders and another person started arguing and the cheerleader hit that person in the face, according to the report.

However, according to a report by Charlotte's WCNC-TV, police have since questioned the identity of one of the cheerleaders, saying another woman may have tried to dupe them by using Owen's drivers license. Police said they have opened an investigation into the identity issue, and a Tampa TV report indicated that police now think that the woman who identified herself as Owen is in fact another Panthers cheerleader, Renee Thomas.

WCNC-TV reported that Owen's mother claimed Owen was at a wedding South Carolina at the time of the arrest.

Keathley, whose identity has not been disputed, was escorted out of the bar, and the police report said she was so drunk she could barely stand. Police also described her as rude and belligerent toward them.

The Observer also reported that other Panthers cheerleaders bailed the two out of the Orient Road Jail late Sunday morning.

According to the Observer report, Keathley and the other cheerleader made the trip to Tampa on their own as they are only on the sidelines for home games.

Team officials at Sunday afternoon's game said they were aware of the report, but declined further comment.
