I admit I have failed to keep up with the Diamond Sports saga and the bankruptcy. Does anyone know of Bally Sports South is carrying the Canes again this season?

When was the last time anyone heard the media call an NFL QB "bad?" They've had bad games, bad mechanics, bad reads, etc., but when has the media ever said someone was just not a good QB? That being said, the Panthers organization is still a fugging trainwreck with Tepper at the controls. Canales, Dan Morgan, whoever is brought in, Tepper will find a way to fug it up. And it only compounded and exponentially made things worse by drafting a bad QB. A bad organization did not make BY a bad QB. Nor did BY being a bad QB make this organization suck. Keep the 2 separate, please.

Why would you want to follow-up a BY sh!tshow with another sh!tshow in Sanders?

https://sports.yahoo.com/win-battle-7th-defensemen-spot-162510102.html As the case with many teams in the NHL, there are positions up for grabs with players fighting for the last couple of spots on the 23 man roster. In Carolina, one area that is pretty much set is the top 6 defensemen on the roster. When the Carolina Hurricanes open the season on October 11th against the visiting Tampa Bay Lightning it is no secret that the starting six defenders will be Jaccob Slavin, Brent Burns, Dmitry Orlov, Sean Walker, Shayne Gostisbehere and Jalen Chatfield. The 7th spot however, is a different story. Amongst the defensemen in the mix for that 7th spot are Riley Stillman, Ty Smith and one of the Hurricanes top prospects in Scott Morrow. Stillman, 26, was signed by the Hurricanes on July 3rd and could be one of the leading candidates to earn the role of being the Canes 7th defender. Last year Stillman played in 47 games for the Buffalo Sabres AHL affiliate in the Rochester Americans. While Stillman did not play a game in the NHL last season, he does have 158 games of NHL experience split between the Florida Panthers, Chicago Blackhawks, Vancouver Canucks and the Buffalo Sabres. Stillman is known for playing a simple game and is more than capable of stepping into the lineup when called upon. If head coach Rod Brind'Amour wants his 7th defenseman as someone who can skate well and move the puck, Ty Smith could very well fit that bill. Smith came to the Hurricanes in the Jake Guentzel trade but did not suit up for the Hurricanes. Like Stillman, Smith did not play a game in the NHL last year, as he spent the whole season in the American league where he led the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins in scoring with 43 points in 63 games. Smiths' career started off with much promise after he scored 23 points in only 48 games with the New Jersey Devils in his first season. At only still being 24-years-old, Smith will look to show he belongs on a NHL roster in camp. The last potential option and the one with the most upside is Scott Morrow. Morrow was selected in the 2nd round of the 2021 draft by the Hurricanes and is the Hurricanes 2nd best defensive prospect behind Alexander Nikishin, who could arrive from the KHL as soon as this season. Morrow turned pro last season for a quick cup of coffee in the NHL when he played two games for Carolina after finishing up his collegiate career playing for UMass-Amherst for the last three seasons. Last year in his Junior season, Morrow led the Minuteman in scoring with tallying 30 points in 37 games played. While there is no doubt that Morrows' future long-term will certainly be with Carolina, there is a possibility that Rod Brind'Amour and his staff would rather Morrow further develop by logging a lot of minutes for the Chicago Wolves of the AHL rather than by sitting in the press box on most nights as the teams 7th defenseman.

It's not so much he's getting a shot as it is doing what you're getting paid to do.

I don't even like to compare the 2 sports any more. It doesn't make sense. Football is a 17 game season and a team needs to win 3 or 4 games to play for the championship. Hockey is 82 games and a team getting to the Cup final needs to win 16 of 28 possible games. The Stanley Cup is the most difficult championship to win and appreciating a team that, at least, puts itself in a position to contend is enough to have my fan commitment.

89 should be in considering there are 20 other WRs who, statistically, rank below Smith yet own gold jackets.

Clausen was 1-9 as a starting QB. And, remember, he had nobody behind him. Tony Pike, Brian St.Pierre, Armanti Edwards was converted from a college QB, but wasn't ready for the NFL as a QB. This version of Carolina is simply refusing to put players on the field who give them "the best chance to win." Andy Dalton obviously gives the Panthers a better chance to win.

Gonna need a bigger sign.

Yeah. Bang-bang with seconds on the clock and, without a slo-mo replay, nobody makes that call.

The officials have directly accounted for the Chiefs winning a Super Bowl, an AFC Championship and more than a couple regular season games by making questionable calls at the end of the game. Today was no different, should have been a no-call. Let the players determine the outcome, not the refs.

Panic only afflicts those who give an actual fug about this team.

FWIW, I wouldn't have taken "the Lord" with the 1st overall pick, either.

Gutsiest move I've ever seen, Maverick.

It happened much sooner for those in the area as the wind got ahold of the plastic sheet covering the new sign. Some poor kid was trying to beat Mother Nature by holding onto the plastic. Needless to say, the signage was unveiled a lot sooner than they wanted.

I'm strictly an android user. My wife is an iPhone user, but they make zeros logical sense to me from a user standpoint. I've had Samsung because I've got a couple Frame TVs in the house and the integration is very easy. S24, S21 and am now using an A13, although it's about 2 years old and I'm ready to get a new one. Battery life on the A13 is the best of any phone I've ever owned. My next will likely be the A25.

As great as his career was, it's sad to think he will be best known for voices (Darth Vader and Arby's). "The Great White Hope" is a great movie and ages well- a must watch if you're a JEJ fan.

This is my biggest concern as well. I don't believe the 2024-25 roster improved from last year, but I allow myself to be surprised. Hoping Jost, a former 10th overall pick by Colorado, somehow begins playing up to expectations.

Okay, lol. 3 of the 4 QBs you listed are better in the post season than your boy. Your welcome.

Read the rest.

None of those guys play for the most over-hyped team in the league and the team that gets more coverage than anyone else. Murica's team! And, I said playoffs, not just the SB. The Cowboys have won 5 playoff games since 1996. Carolina has won more, Allen and Burrow both have more playoff wins than Dak, as does Lamar, I think.

Nobody ever said Dak couldn't get it done during the regular season. The playoffs are a different story. Dak the Gak.

I was right there with ya, pal. The naysayers were telling anyone who'd listen that Carr can't win the Super Bowl. Hell, baby steps. Carr could have at least won a few games.
