Customer Reviews

Just what I needed in the off-season!

Tales from the Panthers Sideline is a must-read for Panthers fans! This book is filled with funny and fascinating behind-the-scenes stories, and includes recaps of electrifying Panther moments on the field. I laughed out loud often while reading; and nodded my head and said, "cool", many times... If you have a short attention span, as I do, you'll appreciate that the book is broken up into short stories, so you can skip around without losing continuity.

Everyone should have a copy

I got this book for christmas, and it didnt take me long to find out this was my favorite present. After reading just a few stories, I was hooked. I am a HUGE Jake Delhomme fan, and i even have my own website ( www.cajunpride.cjb.net ). And if you love Jake Delhomme, Steve Smith, or any of the fabulous cardiac cats, you'll LOVE this book. Scott Fowler tells some of the funniest stories you'll ever read in here, and tells everything about the Panthers from the very beginning to the Superbowl last year. Every panther fan should have this book, and it's well worth the money.

It's like you were on the Sideline with the Panthers!!

When I read Scott Fowler's book, Tales From The Carolina Panthers Sideline, I felt like I was pacing the sideline with the Panthers. Fowler was able to take me to the sidelines and locker room of this exciting and mercurial team. I have been a faithful reader of Scott Fowler's columns over the years in The Charlotte Observer newspaper and felt certain my personal time devoted to reading this book would be time well spent, and it was. I feel as though I now know the players, coaches and owner in a way the average fan wishes they could. The journey through the storied 2003-2004 season which took the Panthers to an appearance in the Super Bowl has been captured by Scott Fowler in such a way that any Panthers fan will want to relive the ride again and again. And with Tales From The Carolina Panthers Sideline, they can. This is a must have for any football fan -- and especially Panther fans!! Enjoy!!

AN ABSOLUTE MUST FOR PANTHER FANS!!!

"Tales from the Carolina Panthers Sideline" is a must for fans of the Carolina Panthers and fans of the NFL in general. Scott Fowler, who is a mainstay in the Charlotte Observer sports section, skillfully recaps the magical 2003 Carolina Panthers super bowl season. Using a unique style, Fowler re-creates the 2003 season, and also takes a trip back into the sometimes checkered past of the Franchise. Fowler, who co-authored the fantastic 1997 book "Year of the Cat" recapping the second season of the franchise, has worked his magic once again. I had the pleasure of attending a pair of Panther home games in 2003, including the playoff win over the Cowboys. "Tales from the Carolina Panthers Sideline" makes me feel like I attended all of the games. Rob Eastwood News/Sports Director WJRI Radio, Lenoir North Carolina

You don't have to like football....

If I enjoyed this book, you Carolina Panther fans are going to love it. It's not just about the team. There are stories about the individual players - really sweet, poignant stories. And it's a book that you can put down (if you have to) because it's written in relatively unconnected chapters. As Scott puts in his introduction, "Whether you like to read in small sips or big gulps, you should be set." To those who appreciate malaprops - there's a chapter on one of the Panthers who's as quotable as Yogi Berra. And remember the famous picture of Muhsin Muhammad's shushing the crowd? That story (as well as the picture) is in here. Scott Fowler makes the players human. After reading this book, when you see one being interviewed you'll think, "Oh yeah. That's the one Scott said...."
