Posted By on Fri, Nov 27, 2015 at 12:06 PM


The Carolina Panthers won the first game ever played by the franchise on Thanksgiving Day yesterday, easily beating the Dallas Cowboys 33-14 and remaining undefeated, now at 11-0 on the season. The Panthers' first two touchdowns came on interceptions brought back by Kurt Coleman and Luke Kuechly, respectively. Later, Cam Newton ran the ball in for another touchdown, celebrating with "The Twist." Some people have complained that Newton's hip-hop dances are too flashy, and at a post-game press conference, he said The Twist is his grandma Hattie's favorite dance. (Fox Sports/Associated Press) 

The Carolina Waterfowl Rescue, based in indian Trail, is currently caring for a large group of birds and other wildlife that were harmed when over 1,000 gallons of diesel fuel spilled into Little Sugar Creek near Freedom Park on Wednesday. The spill reportedly came from a broken generator. So far, six ducks and three turtles have died, but that number is expected to grow. It's the fourth chemical spill in Charlotte in 2015, according to CWR staff. The city is paying for the clean-up of Sugar Creek following this most recent spill. (Justin Campbell, TWC News)

A South Carolina man got his Thanksgiving off to an interesting start when he stole an ambulance early Thursday morning.
