Posted on | December 16, 2009 | 3 Comments
The Carolina Panthers shocked the NFL in 2003.

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….”

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!!

“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.
