Speed Read: Bills Blunder, Let Brady Off The Hook

Scott — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 13:00:23 +0000

You know the Bills have had a rough history when they can completely blow a game like they did last night, and you can think of like five worse that have happened to them over the years off the top of your head. Buffalo used a poorly-timed fumble on a kickoff that never should’ve been returned to come from ahead and lose to the Patriots, 25-24, in both teams’ season opener.

(These guys have three Super Bowl rings between them)

It wasn’t a completely devastating loss for the Bills (they were, of course, supposed to lose). It’s not like Vincent Gallo’s going to make a movie about it or anything. But at this rate, the people of upstate New York are just going to start hoping the team moves to Toronto so they don’t have to be so miserable all the time. They also should be happy to know that Brady told his New England teammates that he “knew” the Bills would let them back into the game late.

Panthers Exec Puts Moves On Fox Anchor Chick

Rick Chandler — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 17:00:01 +0000

Too bad the Florida Panthers themselves aren’t as smooth as one of their vice presidents, Uri Man, who apparently tried to pick up FOX NEWS anchor chick Ainsley Earhardt during an interview on the economy on Saturday. And so “Does pink match yellow?” finally enters the cultural lexicon (video following the jump).

Man, who is actually the vice president of development for the Panthers’ parent company, at first simply appears to be engaging in friendly banter with Earhardt, mentioning that he knows where she went to college because he’d been “doing some reading on you.” But then the interview started to resemble an encounter at a singles bar.

NHL Panthers Offer Free Tix, Still Can’t Sell Out

Scott — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 20:20:02 +0000

The Florida Panthers are a struggling franchise that hasn’t made the NHL playoffs in nine years, so the organization is trying to boost lagging attendance in a number of creative ways. One way is to offer “priority” for playoff tickets to people who buy a four-game plan, and if the team misses the postseason again (the team’s only one point out of a spot) they’ll get free tix to four games next year.

(Another big night for hockey in South Florida)

It’s actually a pretty good idea, but once you hear about a promotion that already didn’t work, it’s unlikely that any amount of ingenious marketing is going to save this team. Last night, all you had to do was show up at a tent outside the arena and you’d get tickets … free tickets. They still couldn’t fill the place.

Florida Hockey Fan Flaunts Her Funbags @ Game

jason — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 17:00:17 +0000

With dwindling attendance in some markets & no broadcast deal with ESPN, the NHL could use a little more exposure. And one feisty Florida Panthers fan is more than happy to oblige.

TOTAL PRO SPORTS slaps up news of a young lady recently rinkside at the BankAtlantic Center who happened to catch the camera’s eye. When she realized she was suddenly the focus of attention, she decided to put on a little show - and put ‘em on the glass!

Sidney Crosby Keeps Picking Ugly, Unfair Fights

Camsox — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 22:00:21 +0000

Sidney Crosby is a punk? Don’t scoff, he’s really acting like it over the past couple of weeks. With the Penguins mired in a catastrophic losing skid, Crosby picked his second fight against an unsuspecting victim in two weeks, and his moves this time around were just as lowbrow as they were the first time. Poor Panthers center Brett McLean never saw Crosby coming.

(Beware of the Sid The Kid sneak attack!)

According to FANHOUSE, and readily verified by the video after the jump, Crosby attacked McLean after a draw, a move which followed a squared-off bout between Maxime Talbot and Gregory Campbell moments earlier. Yet unlike the Talbot-Campbell fight, McLean never got a chance to get ready for Crosby, let alone accept the fight.
