Fun Reading

If you are a Panther fan, this book is fun reading from the "voice" of the Panthers. Written in an informal, very casual conversational style.
Quick read, but fun!

In 1995, seconds after Carolina Panthers radio voice Bill Rosinski introduced former NFL coach Jerry Glanville to a gathering of fans at the site that now is Bank of America Stadium, everyone got a quick glimpse of what was ahead. The teams stadium was under construction and the Panthers were playing their home games at Clemson University. The atmosphere was giddy, because the Panthers were winning some games on their way to a 79 season.But Glanville said it didnt really matter yet and told the crowd they wouldnt arrive until they had their first winning season, their first losing season, and a player arrested. Those words were prophetic as all three events soon played out in dramatic fashion. The Panthers havent always been good, but theyve always been interesting on and off the field.In Bill Rosinskis Tales From The Carolina Panthers Sideline, Carolinas former radio voice chronicles the Panthers manic rise from expansion team to NFC Championship play in its second season. With humor and insight gathered from thousands of interviews and long flights on the team plane, Rosinski recalls those bright days and how it all quickly fell apart.He also provides an insiders look at how George Seifert went from legendary coach upon his arrival in Carolina to a forgotten man three seasons later. But Rosinski never will forget Seifert, crediting him as the first NFL coach to use the phrase zany. That word may best summarize Seiferts wacky tenure, which featured receiver Rae Carruths murder charge, offensive coordinator Bill Musgraves strange departure four games into the 2000 season, the unsuccessful attempt to buy a Hall of Fame defensive line with the aging Reggie White, Chuck Smith, and EricSwann, and the gloomy final season
