Break Out The Shovels

Written by Kenny Perkins | September 29, 2009 | Comments Off | Cat Crave (Panthers)

If you are a fan of the Carolina Panthers go ahead and break out your shovel because this team is six feet under.  The game against the Cowboys on Monday Night Football was a pathetic attempt to play the game.  Where do you start?  Do you throw all the dirt on the defense or the [...]
