Maybe in the US but if you want to talk the world I would say it would have to be whatever city in whatever country it is where every time their stupid soccer team loses they riot, tear down the stadium, burn the city then execute the players. Now that's the epitome of a poo hole sports city. We aren't very good in Charlotte but at least we aren't that level of stupid and ignorant.

Minus the executions, pretty sure numerous college towns have suffered from riots.

Good for her! Grab that bag!

Good for him! Grab those funbags!

A's are going to move to Vegas. Charlotte is definitely one of the worst sports towns. Others in that list: Toronto, Oakland, DC, San Diego, Nashville, San Jose, Orlando, Sacramento, Portland, Jacksonville, Montreal, and Salt Lake City.

If championships are truly all that matters than Charlotte is the 7th worst sports city behind Minneapolis, Buffalo, San Diego, New York, Phoenix, and Cincinnati. This is based on number of played seasons across all sports without a championship.

They should add MLS and the WNBA to that list. It would change it.

Uh oh ...

Ten players from NC State's 1983 national champion basketball team have sued the NCAA and the Collegiate Licensing Company seeking compensation for unauthorized use of their name, image and likeness.

The players filed suit in Wake County Superior Court on Monday, requesting a jury trial and "reasonable compensation."

NCAA about to have a lot to deal with if this goes through.

I'm watching every game no matter what. Good, bad or indifferent I'm watching.  Nut up you babies, you cannot handle adversity at all. 

I understand that, but for me I find the NFL boring now. Otherwise I'd be right there with ya.

I've just lost interest in the NFL as a whole. MLB will always be my favorite, but now I'm looking forward to college football more than the NFL, and I'm slowy getting into the NHL. This may be my first ever season where I don't watch every Panthers game and won't bother to watch NFL just because it's on TV.

How good is the boom box though

As long as it doesn't play country!

Who the fug cars how nice the training facility looks lol? Got weights? Got trainers? Got ice? Got meds? Got cardio equipment? You're good.

Yes. They might win 8 games. Won't make the Playoffs though.

Do you think Bryce owns a panic room? How many safe spaces do you think he has? Kid was great in college but is simply too small for the NFL. Note I said small, not short. I agree with CBS. We'll be doing this all over again next Draft.

There is also zero chance anyone could come in and build a dome during the off-season.

If you "break" your "contract" because you want to go "pro" and maybe make more money ... does that void your college contract? Or like in some odd pro sports cases, will a kid still get paid the term of his deal?

And with these BS high schools like IMG Academy and various preps, high schools will be the new college with kids going to high school all over the country just to play sports and not even learn an ounce of knowledge.

So what happens when the kid underwhelms relative to his compensation to play college football for Whatever State University?  Can they now be cut/fired, because they're employees more so than student athletes, or will the "their just kids, let them grow" narrative remain?  Business is business, can't have the cake and eat it too.

If they do get cut/fired ... you can bet you'll get people everywhere saying, "That poor kid!". This whole thing is inane.

"You scored the lowest score possible on the SAT? But you play QB? Welcome to Harvard!"

"You're a sophomore in high school? But you're the best RB prospect in 50 years? Welcome to Michigan! You start tomorrow!"

NIL is terrible. This is terrible.

All the reasons he struggled, were addressed. 

New IOL, new skills, new coaches. All those things holding him back were fixed. Now we will be able to see his greatness. 

What did Bryce do at all last season to make some of you think he should be ranked better on the list???

Sounds like it's only for "did he cross the endzone?", "did he get the first down?", etc.

Hey, dudes. As most of you know, I've been a Panthers fan since day one and have been on this board forever. Lived in Raleigh 6 years, Greensboro 1, Durham 2, and spent 18 years in Charlotte. Never really cared much for the Hornets though. Never really followed the Canes.

That said, I've been in NYC for 13 years now. I started paying attention to the NHL about six years ago. I root for the Rangers casually, as Islanders fans are a bunch of rejects from Long Island and I'd rather die than cheer for anything on Long Island.

So ... I ask you this, would you guys like a little extra spice for the rest of the series??? I'll gladly be the "Rags Fan" you can smack talk during games lol. If not, I'll watch the games in peace. But it seems these threads only have Homers versus Chicken Littles. So how about a no good dirty "New Yorker"?

What a game. Goalies were crazy good.
