  • Fifteen and 1: An Unofficial and Unfiltered History of Professional Football in Carolina

    Phil Blattenberger, Brad Mills

    language (Madison Press, Jan. 7, 2016)
    Never in the long history of professional football had a team with as little professional talent as Carolina stormed into the league, grabbed it by the throat, and wrestled it into submission quite like the 2015 Panthers. With a road-grading running game and air raid passing attack they rattled off a historic fifteen-win season, the league's number one seed, and an exclusive perch overlooking the 2015 playoffs.Most greatness is wrought with difficulty, and this team's was no exception. At once a history and a commemorative recollection of the Carolina's 2015 season, this multi-faceted work opens with an exploration of the team's foundation and its first two decades in the league. The book's latter half examines in chapter-by-chapter detail the meteoric rise of Carolina's 2015 squad and the historic fifteen-win campaign they assembled en route to the playoffs.Composed by sports journalists Phil Blattenberger and Brad Mills, this book is choked to the brim with anecdotes, statistics, quotes, ancient mythology, tangential World War Two history, little-known facts, original play breakdowns, scheme analysis, and a narrative moxie unmatched by any sports analysis to date. Fifteen and One is an essential read for anyone interested in professional football, cultural history, and the American South.
