Preseason Week 4: March of the Panthers
As the nation continues one of the largest humanitarian relief projects ever undertaken, I once again urge everyone to do what they can to help those who have been devastated by Katrina's wake. I myself am opening up my home to any strippers left homeless by the hurricane.
We all have to do our part.
This weekend, the most dominant dynasty in the NFL, as Americana as Rockwell and teenage sexual exploration, your CAROLINA PANTHERS met the Pittsburgh Steelers for the final game of the preseason. There have been a lot of storylines this offseason: who has more of a lantern jaw, Bill Cowher or Jessica Simpson? Who has bigger breasts, Jerome Bettis or Jessica Simpson? But perhaps most intriguing of all: can future Hall-of-Famer RB Stephen Davis return to form after season-ending knee surgery last year? Can the Human Buzzsaw take the Blue Blitz Machine back to the Super Bowl?
DID YOU KNOW that the daily caloric intake of the average Pittsburgh fan can feed a starving family in Darfour for six months?
Field general Jake Delhomme smartly marched his team up the field for a quick score and the early lead. But the story of the night was the dynamic play of Davis! 5 times for an amazing 17 yards! Unberrievaberr!
Another Pittsburgh fun fact: Heinz family scion, Chris Heinz, was a year ahead of Dave and myself in Pierson College at Yale (he was actually in the same Pierson class as Matt Pillsbury, making it one of the wealthiest Pierson classes of all time). And he was the same year as Theo Epstein (the Yalie who led the Red Sox to the World Series last year), with whom I served on the Yale Daily News. A few years later, when Dave and I were at HLS (this is after we both worked at the Advisory Board under rising star Jeff Zients, who has recently made Forbes Richest 40 Under 40 several years in a row now), who was at HBS but Chris Heinz (this was his dating-Gwyneth-Paltrow phase). All I'm saying is that, no matter how many opportunities one is given in life, some of us just end up making friends with the Yaghmours of the world.
The Gary Kasparov of the Gridiron, John Fox, wisely pulled his starters after the first series, partly to rest them, partly to see whether Ben Roethlisberger could score an offseason touchdown playing against some reserves, the mascot, and Suzy Kolber (answer: no. Charlie Batch got the Steelers only touchdown with 1:36 remaining against Carolina's groundskeeping team.)
Until next time.
RROWRRRR!
