Before the Panthers drafted Cam Newton I said : “ Dare to be Great “ I’m saying it again . Pickett is not a special talent. Don’t settle for the safe pick . Draft a quarterback who can be “ Special “ . Draft” Malik Willis “at 6 if he’s there. Show some Balls .

C.J. Henderson needs to be cut by the Panthers. He’s a quitter with no heart and gives up ….no desire to win. GOTTA GO ….

Humble Advice For Tepper : Keep your ass out of the Draft and the locker-room . You have successfully alienated roughly 90% of all Panther fans. ( Shut the fuck up ).

Panthers really piss me off. Do you think your fans just fell off the truck ? Have you morons heard about transparency? If you want to totally gut the team be open about. First big mistake by Tepper.

Been meaning to salute the Local Shows at FNZ. They been kickin some serious ass in the ratings . My former teammates Mac & Bone were # 1 I remember when Gary Me & Mark got to # 3 without an FM stick . I was proud then and proud now of my boys Mac & Bone. ( you earned it)

Been a lot of compliments and flattering comments about when I worked morning drive with Gary Williams. I really got lucky working with Gary and Mac in the AM on FNZ. Not only was Gary smart and prepared but he was also emotional and that is the perfect combo.

What’s wrong with the Panthers ? In a word E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G. Sanders was a mistake . Left Tackle , way disappointing. Wide receiver room is empty except for oldest guy. Offensive line a mess. Secondary is screwed . Reich over-rates himself as play caller. Owner is deplored .

Regarding the Hornets #2 pick in the draft : I don’t think you draft for need ; you draft the best player. That is Scoot Henderson . He’s also a tantalizing crowd pleaser . Scoot-Ball-Bridges will make the Bugs the most entertaining team in the league …and a Playoff Team.
