Carolina Panthers = Sideshow Mel

-The Panthers were the toughest team to find a character. They don't really have a team identity coming into the season. They don't have any real star players that stand out, or even a player you can easily make fun of (well, at least until Jimmy Clausen starts), and they don't really have a chance of making an impact on the NFL this season. Sideshow Mel seems about right.

New York Giants - Fat Tony

-Fat Tony is a powerful New York mobster that comes around to star in an episode every now and then on The Simpsons. His New York counterparts have similarly faded in and out of the spotlight the past few seasons. The G-Men have gone from ultimate glory in Super Bowl 42 to being decidedly average season last year. Really though, this doppelganger just gives me an excuse to show this clip!

The rest are in the link. Most accurate simpson connections are atlanta and the saints.
