Happy homecoming for Julius Peppers as Bears defeat Panthers

Posted Oct 11, 2010
The good times didn't end when he finally left the field, surrounded by cameras, saluting the crowd. For Julius Peppers, this reunion was expected to spill over into today. While his teammates flew back to Chicago on the team charter, their star defensive end was scheduled to remain in his home state to bask in the moment. Nobody could blame him. As far as homecomings go, it's will be hard to top this. (Chicago Sun-Times)
