Is it just me or does every caller the programs choose to put on the air sound like they struggle to complete a coherent sentence much less pose a question or comment worthy of discussion?

60-70% of the time wfnz is purely comedic entertainment value. There is only so much sports to go around and each show just rehashes the previous topics. I only listen during the nfl season and like to hear the opinions of the panther players past and present.

I don't understand why a person who likes the panthers enough to call in after the games would be so stupid, I mean if you are interested in the panthers enough to call and discuss the panthers I think you would at least be well informed enough to ask a decent question

thank god for the huddle, none of my friends enjoy the panthers enough to talk discussion unless they are doing well, or if they are, they are so uninformed it's no fun to talk because i don't want to sound like a know-it-all, it feels good to have a place to discuss such matters

Disagree. Other stations' shows manage just fine.

Probably about the only thing I miss about Ohio is that their sports radio was actually about sports, not the on air personalities making idiots of themselves.

WFNZ isn't "comedic". It's pathetic. Very little of what they put on the air is actually funny. It's just ignorant.

Morning Sports Page is about the only program I've heard that's worth anything. They could fire the entire bunch that mans the rest of the shows (including Packer) and hire complete radio amateurs without losing any program quality. It's that bad.

As to the reason why the callers are predominantly idiots, it's because that's what the shows encourage. There are plenty of knowledgeable sports fans out there, but the shows look for the callers that make the biggest morons of themselves instead. What's even more pathetic is these guys actually seem to think being on the radio and acting like a jackass makes them somehow "famous" :rolleyes:

Outside of the interviews with actual athletes, the station is largely worthless (and even some of those are done so badly it's almost embarrassing).

They have been on the air for awhile. there must be a reason for their success because they are still on the air. It not the bible for sports but its ok to keep a pulse on the local sports if you dont get the paper or sirius radio.

I use to listen to Pete Franklin on WWWE as a kid in Ohio. Everything else pales in comparison.

      Canes vs Panthers Rd 3 Game 2 Thursday 8pm

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      Getting this out early so we can flush that abomination down the toilet from last night.  Start fresh if you will.  Win tomorrow and we will have not just our first ECF game win in 19 years, but will be back into it.  Put in Janko and play the Boom if Chatty can’t go.  LFG Canes!

      The Evolution of the Panthers OL (2023 - 2025)

      By Icege · Posted

      There are a lot of question marks surrounding TMo right now. There were whispers leading into the draft that the team was ready to move on due to a knee issue, but they came away with no real backup plan outside of BC. Maybe the knee isn't as serious as feared… or maybe it was just front office gamesmanship, like we saw with the Jalon Walker rumors. With Icky's second contract on the horizon, the team's probably hoping Moton is open to a team-friendly extension. His consistency over the years has been incredibly underappreciated. Hunt's grades dipped last season--particularly in pass pro, where he ranked 54th among guards with 500+ pass-blocking snaps. That's not ideal, but when you step back, it's still starting-caliber play. In the run game, he was more effective--posting the 14th-highest run-blocking grade among guards with 300+ run-blocking snaps. DLew, meanwhile, was a warrior. He played through a shoulder injury all season and still ranked 17th in pass-blocking + 10th in run-blocking under those same filters. Context matters here too... in terms of 2024 cap hits, Hunt was the 17th-highest paid guard at $6.45M while DLew was 25th at $4.9M. DLew absolutely outplayed the first year of his deal. Looking ahead, Hunt will carry the #3 highest cap hit among guards in 2025 at $21.65M, while DLew will be #10 at $14.57M. If DLew maintains that level of play and Hunt bounces back in pass pro? Oooh wee mayne. That said, decisions are coming. DLew can be cut in 2026 for $9M in savings, or in 2027 for $13M. Hunt is more locked in: his contract opens up flexibility starting in 2027 ($14.3M savings) and jumps to $18M in 2028. And then there's the biggest unresolved piece: center. Cade Mays looked solid when called upon, and Christensen didn't look out of place either. Corbett's durability is a fair concern... he hasn't been able to stay on the field the past two years. If Mays locks down the center job, I think the front office moves quickly to secure RT next. Once the bookends are in place, the interior OL becomes the next long-term focus. Hopefully, they're already developing some of those answers internally.
