Willie Mitchell Uses Kris Letang's Helmet Against Him In Fight
Florida Panthers captain Willie Mitchell got tied up with Pittsburgh's Kris Letang, and inexplicably resorted to swinging Letang's own helmet at him. Willie Mitchell's a lawless man....
I Wish That Panthers-Caps Shootout Were Still Going
The shootout is dumb and bad. It is a sideshow, a skills competition, a way to decide a hockey game that bears only the slightest resemblance to hockey. It is a poor answer to a question no one was asking. And yet, every once in a while, a shootout gets so absurd, so endlessly, deliriously bananas...

Panthers' Video Joking About Buffalo Snowstorm Angers Sabres Owner
The Florida Panthers showed a video before Saturday night's game against the Sabres, contrasting Buffalo's awful, cold weather with Florida's ideal conditions.

Cam Newton's Twitter Got Hacked And Then Suspended

Mark Sanchez Kept The Machine Running Smoothly And Then Had Cheesesteaks
This is not a declaration about how Mark Sanchez has revitalized his career in one night, nor of confident belief that the Eagles' playoff hopes are intact. If there's anything to draw from last night's blowout of the Panthers, it's just that Chip Kelly's team still has a chance. That's good enoug...
Cam Newton Should Have Just Stayed Down

Barely Anyone Came To The Panthers Game
A subhead on the Sun-Sentinel's gamer for last night's Senators-Panthers tilt reads, simply, "Panthers lose again with barely anyone watching." That's about right....
Vontaze Burfict Is Back To Committing Post-Play Misdemeanors
Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict, whose college career consisted of spectacular plays punctuated by pugilism (sometimes against his own teammates) and who has at least once in his pro career delivered that most unkind of love taps is again accused of playing the heel after yesterday's game aga...
