If you're an NFL fan, this might be the best sports weekend of the year. You spend Saturday preparing for the conference championship games and Sunday watching them.
Last weekend was good, but it included Seattle. Chicago handled the Seahawks and Green Bay blew out Atlanta.
This weekend is different. You get three storied franchises, plus the New York Jets.
Television ratings are the most accurate measurement of interest in an event. Ratings for the NFL were up all season and playoff ratings are off the charts.
The question Sunday won't be, will you watch. The question will be where.

AS a Panther fan, it is entertaining to watch some GOOD football.

This is the most pointless drivel ever. This is the best sports weekend because there are 2 football games on Sunday? Thats ridiculous.

Well, you also have college hoops in full swing and if you like Tennis and golf now is a good time.

If you guys have time to write that you want your thirty seconds back after reading that, then I don't think your thirty seconds were worth much to begin with.

If this is the best sport weekend and the panthers aren't involved why don't you make it more special by resigning or quiting so I won't have to read you dumb articles anymore

the best sports weekend is the week in september when you have college football starting, US open (tennis), pro football starting, and MLB pennant races. 2nd place is the 2 st week in april with the Final $ on monday, Masters 2 days later, and MLB opening day.

Hey, why read it if u dont want to. I hate it when people complain about things when if they dont like it, they can avoid it. This is Toms JOB, so why dont u suck it up, and if u dont like it dont read it in the first place, no one wants to hear ur selfish whining. Good job Tom, thnx for doing ur job, oh and panthers4life, id prefer if u changed ur name because i was the FIRST panthers4life, and i complemented scott and tom, so plz dont tarnish the name. Get something like "pointless whiner." Thank you bery much.
