You going to a game? I thought you hated big crowds.


Plan is to get extremely drunk before hand. That will ease my anxiety.


Sounds like a great way to get thrown out of a game. :lol:

Benjamin just carted off the field. Sounds like an ACL. I feel sick right now.

Just a sprained knee for now. MRI later today. May have dodged a bullet.

Yeah, it still sounds pretty bad. I think Rivera was just trying to be upbeat about it.

Damn, that's devastating news for the Panthers. They easily have the least amount of talent at WR in the league without Kelvin. Maybe they should sign Reggie Wayne?

Its mind boggling how much better Joseph Person and Jonathan Jones are at covering the Panthers as opposed to Bonnell covering the Hornets.

Person used to be equally terrible TBH. Then they hired Jones and it's like it lit a fire under Person, both are solid now.

Though @AaronWilson_NFL is the guy to follow for Panthers stuff. He's like Woj for the NFL, even though he's a Texans reporter he breaks stuff for every team.

Some Twitter drama going on between Jeremy Igo (Carolina Huddle), Bill Voth, and the Bring Back the Buzz guys.

Kind of bummed they're forcing Common Market and Black Sheep skateshop out of South End and getting rid of the food truck lot all for an office building. That was a pretty cool little area. #keepcharlotteboring

Yeah, I'm on the other side of downtown so fortunately the PM Common Market isn't going anywhere.
