About Chris »

I love writing and I have what I call an unhealthy obsession with football. I'm a huge Carolina Panthers fan and I'm incredibly excited about our team this year. I'll be posting as many articles as I can write about the NFL since I just can't get enough football. Pistone is my pen name for this site which I may or may not continue using...haven't decided yet.

I love Jesus.

Other than that, I don't know what else I'd put here...

Chris,

Is Panthers running back DeAngelo Williams becoming a serious threat to opposing teams and following the footsteps of Eagles star Brian Westbrook? Let me know what you think!

hey Chris-- You and I have something in common. I was born and raised in Charlotte and moved to NE long before the Panthers were even thought of. Nevertheless, I am also a big Panthers fan. I hope they're getting their act together, it would be nice to see them do well again. I've loved Julius Peppers since his Chapel Hill days. Broke my heart when he gave up hoops for football, but it was the right move. Good luck, dude.
