Tales From The Carolina Panthers Sideline
The Carolina Panthers shocked the NFL in 2003. Only two seasons removed from a disastrous 1-15 season, they won three straight playoff games and roared all the way to their first-ever Super Bowl appearance before losing in the final seconds in one of the best Super Bowls ever played. Tales from the Carolina Panthers Sideline is the behind-the-scenes story not only of that extraordinary Panthers team, but also of the men who have shaped Carolina's past and will determine its future. Jake Delhomme, Steve Smith, Sam Mills, John Fox, Mike Rucker, Kevin Donnalley, Bill Rosinski, and many others sat down for exclusive interviews with author Scott Fowler, ensuring that there are many stories about the Panthers that readers have never heard before. From Delhomme's brief stint as a karaoke singer to the reason Steve Smith walks to every Panthers home game to the real story about Mills' courageous battle with cancer, Tales from the Carolina Panthers Sideline brings the Panthers' biggest stars into vivid focus. Says Tony Kornheiser, star of ESPN's Pardon the "The Carolina Panthers captured our imagination like no other sports team in 2003. This team has an incredible story that must be told -- and nobody can tell it as well as Scott Fowler."
Not just a celebration of the Panthers' 2003 season, Tales from the Carolina Panthers Sideline also features anecdotes about the Panthers' early years. From the team's birth in 1995, a host of memorable characters has passed through the locker room. They include a future reality TV star, a head coach who kept his distance from everyone, and a player who loved to saunter in on Sundays wearing platform heels and a fur coat. Bulging with bite-sized anecdotes both funny and poignant, this book is a must-read for every Carolina Panthers fan. It is a fun-filled, unforgettable look at a team that rose to the top of the NFL in the 2003 season.

it’s well-written for what it is, and there are some very good bits with sam mills (the book was published less than a year before his death), but the fact of the matter is that this book doesn’t offer much to anyone who’s not a carolina panthers fan or a REALLY hardcore sports nerd (full disclosure: i am both)
