They also cut commercial breaks/hr from three to two (unless I heard something really incorrectly).

If I'm not mistaken about that then it's a pretty good quality of life change for us.  Even if the total advertising time stays the same split up into fewer total breaks it will probably feel less annoying.

Is it a good morning show? I have a long commute to work so what kind of content between 6-7:30am?

6am - 10am is the Mac Attack.

He gets on some people's nerves but I think he's one of the more entertaining shows in their lineup (assuming you're not one of those people who insists that sports radio be 100% sports 100% of the time and that everything needs to be serious...they're pretty silly sometimes).  I listen most mornings when I'm driving to work

Cool I like some comedy in the mornings, typically listen to 107.5 Jared and katey but I miss satellite radio for sports talk... a mix should be cool

It definitely gets stale during the summer months, but the fall is prime listening.  They're pretty much always talking about the Panthers during the season.  Then, during the NBA season, they're constantly talking about the Hornets and the NBA.  These two sports definitely take up most of the shows.  You have to ignore the callers; they get a lot of cowboy, steelers, etc. fans calling in and even some of the Panther fans can be morons.  Most of the hosts are actual fans of other teams, but they do a good job of just focusing on the Panthers.  I used to commute a good while and this was all I listened to both ways.  I'm actually a little upset that my commute isn't as long anymore....the sacrifices I have to make :)

It's still on for me.  Where are you located?  I tried finding a map to see how far the station extends, but I didn't have any luck.

    • What's up gents, the OGs remember me, the guy who single-handedly gave the Panthers the greatest uniform in history moniker. Not too long after that I got involved with Pro Football Focus (pre-Collinsworth acquisition) and ended up taking backseat here to preserve some objectivity. But from a distance I noticed a lot. After the end of the Cam era this place devolved into the most un-fun, petty, negative cesspool of whining and bitching that has ever graced the internet. The worst part of it all is that the level of discussion turned into the most ill-informed, hot-take, unnuanced crap, rife with people talking out of their posteriors as if they have any clue about what they are watching. Once you get into the professional side of the sport and actual film rooms, you start to understand there's an absurd number of moving parts to pretty much every snap and the details you are privy to are truly only half the picture. The absolute most important thing I learned from being part of professional level football analysis is that quarterbacking is literally the most intricate and difficult position in all of professional sports, and that the NFL itself is struggling to develop any workable model that allows them to understand what makes one succeed vs what makes one fail. Because of this paradox it has also made the quarterback position itself grossly overvalued from a fan and media standpoint, creating an absurd fixation on the results delivered by a single player who has to rely on the contributions of everyone around them. This also drives the dreaded inflation of QB salaries that inevitably cause even elite teams to lose key talent all to pour cash into the one player supposed to be able to single-handedly elevate the entire team (and defense and special teams and coaching and ownership by some mysterious proxy), yet without those same players even talented teams can wander the wilderness searching for the right guy to take advantage of their talent window. The discussions the last few years around Bryce has personified this insanity, as this board has devolved into some sort of electronic civil war between the hyperbolic Young supporters and the vitriolic Bryce haters. The reality, like practically everything in this world, is somewhere in the middle. He has traits that can absolutely elevate a team with creativity, play recognition, off-arm angle throws, mental toughness, etc. He's also physically limited, with mostly "good-enough" qualities for most situations that a professional quarterback is asked to do, and will never be an overpowering physical force like pre-injury Cam. But "good-enough" physicality represents a large majority of championship-winning quarterbacks, even in the modern era. There's a reason the corpse of Peyton Manning took the chip from elite physical specimen Cam, because the team surrounding him was talented enough to get him there, while we all know Cam was the driving force of that 2015 team. That's no knock on him, that's just how the game of football tends to work: the more complete team usually wins. The summary is this: if this team lives or dies solely on the performance of its quarterback, then it is absolutely a paper tiger even if he plays brilliantly week in and out. There are no superheroes in this sport, there are only conduits that proxy the collective efforts of much of the team around them. And no one alive can tell you how the position is played perfectly, it's all a confluence of circumstance and what unique collection of traits each player brings to the position, which can never be truly recreated season after season, even for the same player on the same team. If this place remains a raging hellscape of idiotic hot takes I will happily remove myself again and do something more productive for yet another decade, but maybe's there hope that we can all get back to the old adage, and keep pounding.
