I Don't Know Why I Continue To Read The Charlotte Observer

[chknwing]

Sometimes I really think they have no idea what they are writing about.

on KK

"And the Panthers? They aren’t ripping Short for suddenly deciding to skip OTAs. But they are also taking pains to note he is already under contract"

"Houston is the site of the 51st Super Bowl on Feb. 5, 2017. The Panthers earned a spot in the most recent Super Bowl, but they will find it very tough to get there again if they are without their best defensive lineman"

 

huh?  KK has made peanuts past few seasons.  Unless they are saying he just banked all his money and has more than enough to sit out a season which I would highly doubt.  I see no way he holds out and forfeits the $1.4 million including signing bonus hes set to make this season.

Charlotte Observer?  Never heard of her.

Do yourself a favor...and stop reading the Charlotte Observer.

I vowed to myself to never read them again last year. Their football coverage has always been horrendous, than you add all the "letters to the editor" they published last year to the equation and that was the final straw for me. The one they published last year about the lady complaing about Cam having a baby out of wedlock was boredline racist, sexist, etc. They sold their souls for a few clicks of a website.

I visit my mother and father about twice a week.  They still get the O and I will thumb through it if I have time.  Fish wrapper comes to mind.

He didn't make peanuts. He made what 2nd round picks made. He now deserves more.

I didn't see any problem in what they wrote.   Ron is the one who mentioned KK being "under contract" in his post-practice presser.   I don't think they were hinting KK would sit out the season, just reiterating his importance to the team.  I suppose too there always is the very very slim chance G'man would entertain trade offers if he can't come to an agreement with KK.  I'm pretty confident a deal gets done, but never say never...  Strange things can and do happen in this football business.

A couple of the Observer guys are alright but if I had one wish as it pertains to Panthers coverage it would be to replace David Newton (ESPN). He is so corny, tries too hard to sound cool, tries his best to manufacture controversies out of nothing for clicks, and there are times you'd think he was a Bucs fan. And I'm tired of his incessant need to post "ICYMI" tweets on every single paragraph he writes. Of course we missed it! We don't read your crap! We are not acknowledging your ridiculous click-bait articles.

The Observer as a whole just absolutely sucks.  It's borderline tabloid IMO.

Its not just them its everyone now. No media org cares about doing real journalism anymore. Its all about how to make as much money as possible as fast as possible while pretending to be journalists.

Person and JJ do good work.

Judging by tweets, I get the impression that the sports editor of the CO doesn't actually like football, or doesn't like sports in general. Maybe he has something against Richardson, there's no telling but on more than several occasions his tweets make it seem like he has a disdain for the Panthers.
