Tampa, FL

The Carolina Panthers extended their winning streak Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, beating them 34-14.  It was the Panthers fifth straight win, placing them in a tie for the lead in the suddenly competitve NFC South.

The Panthers have finally been able to meet the expectations that everyone else in the league has been placing on them.  Two years ago Carolina nearly beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl, and after a year full of injuries in 2004, the Panthers are back.  Star receiver Steve Smith (on left) leads the NFL in receiving yards, and had 5 grabs for 106 yards and a TD today.  Running back Stephan Davis was on target with 2 TD's and Jake Delhomme was 11-18 for 216 yards and a TD as well  The panthers defense in equally as scary as their offense.  Chris Gamble had a 61-yard interception return for a TD and the defense sacked Tampa Bay quarterback Chris Simms five times and forced four turnovers.

The Panthers are certainly on their way back to the playoffs.  In related news, two of the Panthers cheerleaders are on their way to jail.  Angela Ellen Keathley and Renee Thomas were caught having sex in a bathroom stall in Tampa's Banana Joe's nightclub.  Several women were upset that they held up the stall for so long and after getting out, Keathley punched one of the women in the face.  After being pulled out of the nightclub, Thomas confessed to the incident.  Apparently Keathley was so ridiculously drunk that she could not speak.  The Carolina Panthers declined comment on the issue early Sunday morning.  Meanwhile, the actual players are upset after missing the events which took place in the stall.
