Carolina Huddle Magazine?

We're tossing that idea around.

Inside:

Photos of Huddle Kittens (of course)

Interviews with current and former players

statistics

recaps of some of the best Huddle discussions

columns by Huddle experts

It would be something very unlike ROAR Magazine. It'd focus on the Panthers (and probably Bobcats) primarily.

If you are interested in advertising, let me know.

Anyone interested in getting a year's subscription? We're probably talking a monthly at least until we get the first several issues under our belts.

Objectively speaking, I would go without the recap of huddle conversations... I'd like to read content from a very, very select few when it comes to hearing from huddle experts... I like the interviews with current and former players idea, I hope that can truly get worked out... Stats. Meh... if you're going to fill space with charts of numbers, I think it would be cool to see a new analysis of stats, other than the ordinary- make your own formula for a stat and stay consistent with it.

on the plus side: printing is dirt cheap right now

on the negative side: there's a reason it's dirt cheap, and that's that no one wants to read it anymore. you'd be better to do a subscription based blog.

but if you're dead set on this, pm about printing

jbro mentioned it. learn from cbsports when it comes to ad driven also.

Either get most of your money via ads(and they are going ask how many people currently are on the site) or stick with your bread and butter.

Gotta nail the value of someone reading it. Many mentioned what is free that is online.

Why do I want to read it?

Just putting my marketing hat on...good luck with whatever you guys do

Why print it? Why not add a premium feature to the site and charge for it and include the content you would put in the magazine. If you can't do that because of an agreement with sponsors of this site- link it to another seperate site and host it there. Printing seems a waste of money.

One of the reasons we're looking at this is the fact that the Panthers require a print publication (or being a TV station or radio station) to obtain credentials.

Since we're not going to have a TV Station or radio station any time soon, a print publication could be our inroads to obtaining and securing them.

I also think some things look better printed. I still like to read magazines.

Another reason is money. We've got an advertising deal with WCNC, and a magazine could be another way for us to create some revenue. More revenue means better resources (Video cameras, more sophisticated technology, paying contributors, etc) which ultimately results in a better experience for our visitors.

This is just one idea we're tossing around. Your feedback is greatly appreciated as we try to enhance the site and our community.

      Maxx Cosby deal with Ravens off.

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Having trouble finding all these articles saying the Raiders withheld information. Here’s the latest from Crosby’s surgeon: ElAttrache told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Wednesday morning that Crosby was "doing very well in the early part of his rehab and recovery from surgery to treat a significant meniscus tear and the related stress injury to the bone and cartilage in his knee. He is certainly on track in his planned program." "We truly respect the work of the Ravens' staff with Maxx regarding the contract physical exam. We also understand the challenge the staff faces when tasked to provide a future risk assessment based on an evaluation early in the recovery process," ElAttrache said. "This is especially challenging when dealing with an elite player like Maxx considering the level of commitment necessary for a team to obtain him. The timing of this assessment is unfortunate because the apparent risk will lessen as his recovery progresses and his return to performance over the next few months becomes clear."     So the Ravens excuse is the future risk assessment based on the physical, not that the Raiders withheld information. They found an excuse to save face publicly. They had the right to cancel the trade for no reason at all, but they’re trying to save face with the most acceptable reasoning they can find. I’ve heard and seen the Ravens getting dragged everywhere for this. You know what would be an easy way to put a stop to that if you’re the Ravens and the Raiders were actually the shady ones withholding information? Just come out and say that you were not given all the medical information. But they aren’t saying that. I guess they’re just taking the bullet for the Raiders just because?    Speculation indeed.

      Two first round picks for a guy with very questionable knees who will be 29 this summer. Yes it is safe to say the Ravens got cold feet.
