Fred Lane video


AZPanther

Recommended Posts

I know this is a blast from the past but I was talking to a friend who is too young to football to know Fred Lane and his TD dances. This is a long shot but does anyone have clips of this? Especially the one for the fine and then when he did the worm. Couldnt find them on youtube.

Thanks!

i wish i did, fred lane was the reason i became a panthers fan. i remember doing the electric worm in PE after scoring touchdowns. I still rock a Lane jersey on gamedays, but no one knows who he is......

Yeah he was great. I believe our first 1000 yard rusher??? Anyone correct me on this. Fred was great for his endzone dances as was Merton Hanks "funky chicken" when he pulled off a pick 6 which seemed to be almost everygame one season for the 49ers.

I loved to watch Lane play. An amazing athlete, full of fire and heart. His breakout game against Oakland in Charlotte was truly inspiring. Wish his decisions in his personal life were more solid, probably why he was cut.

RIP Fred.

Fred wasn't cut, he was traded to the Colts.

He lived in my neighborhood when he was killed, he was a really nice guy, used to come out and play basketball with me, he was a great father, and a good neighbor, he just had a crazy wife, damn you Deidra.

RIP Freddy.

I am a high school coach track coach

I was one of Fred's best friends.. would take him out on long hill runs before the season started am helped him get into the unbelivable shape he was in.

.He was a very down to earth person .He would come and spend the day with my track team and would go with us to meets .The team dedicated a 32 -0 undefeated season track season ( ironically he wore the number 32 the last season he played with the Carolina Panthers. .He literally gave the shirt off his back to kids on my team and taught them to never quit and when some of our members had been told they were to little and two small .They exceed expectation which they had told me they later gave all of credit to Fred for beliving in them and touching their lives. I have footage of Fred doing the worm and his other famous dances .I will look for them and load them.Lots of people did not know but Fred lane would come to 'incolnton /Denver and he raised over $50,000 for the Children's

Miracle Newtork

.He is truely missed .I now have a son who was borned one year after Fred died who we named after Fred .I have shown him videos of Fred and I together and his talented play on the field.He ran with extra odinary power which most of the time took more than one person to bring him down .

. And yes he did have three games over 100 yards rushing. He is still a Icon in our area. Long live Number 32 !!!!!

I used to love to watch Fred run the ball, he reminded me of the cartoons where his legs became wheels. When he got grabbed from behind or run into a pile up or even lifted off the ground his legs were still churning like wheels going around. You might stop him but not his wheels.

    • Ummm not sure adding anther 5'9 180 pound soaking wet forward is the way to go here.....    
    • What has happened in HS athletics busted full force into the college world with this NIL/transfer portal stuff. HS sports has been jacked up for a long time now. You have all these "prep schools" that are basically just diploma mills for athletes who hoover up all the good athletes they can get and they're all on scholarship. Then they go out and recruit decent athletes with rich parents to come onboard and pay outrageous tuition while they tout their success at getting their athletes college scholarships. Yeah, those athletes getting college scholarships are the same ones you're giving scholarships to so that you can use them to recruit the rich kids whose parents can pay for it all. You see the same thing in youth travel ball leagues. The whole thing is just getting crazy.
    • It's your right to refer to it as vague, but it still flouts the theory of "zero evidence" that Tepper is changing. Here's another: "Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales and general manager Dan Morgan are reportedly being given a larger leadership role within the organization. Panthers owner David Tepper 'has taken a more hands-off approach of late,' according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. 'He's trying to trust Canales and GM Dan Morgan to get it right, knowing that the roster requires patience in its current state,' Fowler wrote. 'We shall see if he holds to that.'" https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10146782-report-panthers-david-tepper-has-taken-a-more-hands-off-approach-to-team   ""David Tepper just wants to win and he's gonna supply everything that we need to win.. Things are changing around here and things are looking really positive" ~ Dan Morgan  https://x.com/PatMcAfeeShow/status/1917639137550627107?t=6vgo8yXTO6eD0Gb55hyzNg&s=19   From about 2:15-6:35, Julian Council, Locked on Panthers, gives his take on whether Tepper seems to be changing (and specifically referenced the war room in his analysis):    Dean Jones of Cat Crave on David Tepper in the war room. "He was an innocent bystander throughout a hugely important decision, placing full trust in Morgan and Tilis to make the right call." Jones also quoted Pat McAfee: "What I noticed though, at one point, they looked at (David) Tepper to get an answer, Tepper didn’t say sh*t. All anybody has said about Tepper is that he’s hands-on, hands-on, hands-on. Too handsy, too involved. He’s not letting the football people do their thing. We just watched in the biggest moment for their franchise, a top ten pick, he just sat there and let everybody do their jobs. I think if you’re a Panthers fan, you love everything you saw there." https://catcrave.com/silence-from-david-tepper-becomes-panthers-loudest-victory Granted, you're not getting a major headline here, but that's not going to happen anyway. Fowler isn't exactly a nobody, everybody knows McAfee, and you also have some locals that follow the team (including Dean Jones). Of course you have a right to believe that Tepper hasn't really changed, but to say there is no evidence that he just may be changing is not really true. It's just not. Hate the guy, but the way that he has handled this current regime is different than he handled previous teams, and his silence in the war room and publicly in general is different than years back.
