Big thanks to Birdsong Brewery for providing the delicious brew for the episode. Jonathan was having the Fake Plastic Trees while I enjoyed the darker Lazy Bird brown ale. Both are fantastic.

 

This week our guest was Jonathan Jones of the Charlotte Observer.

 

Topics Covered:

 

- Panther preseason

- Positional battles (Offensive line, defensive backs, more)

- Kenjon Barner trade

- JJ's favorite wrestler

- Listener phone calls

- JJ's amazing Obama impression

- A hypothetical Charlotte Observer cage match

- much much more.

 

Jonathan is a fantastic guest and I know you will have a new appreciation for him after listening to this episode.

Really liked JJ as a guest! Great episode I could tell towards the end the liquor was flowing haha you need to do a Halloween BoA lockdown podcast come October. Also I see Sammi is still playing hard to get but I like a challenge.

Best podcast yet. JJ is a cool dude. Sammi was cracking me up a few times. I think the most entertaining part was after the growlers got lower and y'all started talking about things outside of football ie your Jim Rome impression, JJ's favorite wrestler, Lady Antebellum etc. Speaking of Jim Rome, I think that's what makes his show so good. He'll spend a good amount of a show riffing on pop culture and it's hilarious. I think that's what seperates Rome from your standard local sports radio. You guys could steal a page from his book by adding more of that.

Not sure why my phone was so choppy. I could hear you guys fine on my end. No big deal though. Looking forward to the next one.

Hilarious. That was my favorite episode so far! The people in Starbucks are still wondering why I was laughing out loud to myself.

The 3 of you make a good team. Jones is really funny and you know I love Sammi.

The song for Sammi made me feel old. I hate that I know all the words.

I'm with you, J. I'll take Scott Fowler all day in the cage match. You always have to be wary of the quiet, unassuming ones.

Great job guys!

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
