Clown show at the back.

I believe the 2012 Lottery was the one that broke me. Haven't watched one live since.

How we like our chances for tomorrow night?

Same as every year.

I'll go about my life as normal, and check my phone at 11:00 to see who went where.

Does market size even matter in the NFL?

I guess we'll find out.

Gambling capital of the US and you wonder why they are accumulating pro sports teams...

Gambling on games and attending games are two different things. Most states have legalized sports betting anyway, so you don't have to go to Vegas to do it.

All they need now is MLS and NBA and I do believe they're getting MLS next year. But to answer your question, similar to why Orlando has teams ... tourists.

Orlando only has the NBA and MLS. That's about 50 events per year.  If Vegas gets the MLS and NBA, they're looking at 200 events per year.  That's a lot of tourists. 

So the A's just bought land for a new stadium in Vegas.

I get that we'll probably never have MLB in Charlotte, but how does LV go from zero pro teams to three ... in just six years?  Is that even sustainable?

I've had YouTube TV for a few years now and I'm a big fan. Tremendous base sports package with pretty much every channel you could want, unlimited DVR, ability to watch from your phone anywhere and about half the price of most cable packages. If I didn't already live in the home Panthers market, I'd add the Sunday Ticket package in a heartbeat, but as is, Panthers games + the national games of the week are plenty for me. 

Yep. I switched from cable to YouTube TV a couple of years back.  Saved me about $50/month. When football season comes, I add the sports tier ($11/month) to get RedZone. When the season's over, I drop it.

It does suck not having RSN's, though. Haven't seen a Hornets or Braves game in years.

I actually had tickets to the game, but couldn't attend. That last goal would've happened right in front of me.

Glad I missed it.

I remember seeing Jordan Gross at the Midtown Best Buy after he retired. I did a triple take.

It's sad what the NBA has become in Charlotte.

Anyone who wasn't around in the late 80's/90's will never understand how the Hornets owned this town.

if the NBA decides to shrink the league.

You know what? It's me. Went to the opener last year (which we lost), and was only able to watch 2 or 3 games on tv last year (which we lost). So I spend the AppleTV money, and watch the first 2 games, which we've lost.

Do me a favor. Just kick my ass, okay? Kick this ass for a man, that's all. Kick my ass. Enjoy. Come on. I'm not asking, I'm telling with this. Kick my ass.

I remember when JR announced he was going try to bring the NFL to Charlotte.  We had just been awarded an NBA franchise.  I remember thinking, "Settle down dude, it's a miracle that we got an NBA team".

R.I.P.

Deflating is a good way to put it. Very sloppy finishing. Reminded me of last year's season opener.  Including the great crowd.

Went ahead and spent the $80 for MLS season pass. Couldn't get WAXN 64 on Direct Stream last year, so I missed a lot of games. Not this year.

Listening to sports radio, and hearing the talking heads say, "Eagles are looking great for the future. Hurts is the guy, and they'll be back in the SB soon."

Bad calls or not, the Bengals had the ball in the last two minutes, with a chance to win the game. They didn't get it done.  (and I was rooting for them)

They want safe.

Wilks would've been the safe hire. 

Fanbase (for the most part) would've been happy, and the national media would be praising Tepper.

I guess Tepper would rather win, and he thinks Reich is the better option for that. I hope he's right.

He put out five excellent solo albums in the last seven years. If you haven't heard them, I'd urge you to check them out.
