Celania prob retired. He's old   .

Yeah they're program director (who is a Duke fan and obvious UNC hater).....I don't know how he still has a job. They've reshuffled hosts, lineups, programming and the result is still the same. FNZ is complete garbage and borderline unlistenable. They benefit from having a couple pro sports teams and a few groups of rabid college fanbases in the area. 

Tony DiGiacomo is the program director now.

I'll be in the minority and say I think local radio in Charlotte does a very good job considering what they have to work with. Obvious by whenever these threads come up that they are not going to please everyone. 

I'm a fan of Kroeger and his show in the afternoon and I don't think it will be long before he gets scooped up for bigger and better things. Think he was a natural since the first day and one of the best shows WFNZ has ever had in this market. Love the different guests (especially former players) he has on that provide a different perspective on things. Eric Weidl talking NFL draft on Fridays this time of year is good even though I am not a big draft nerd. Guy knows his stuff.

Mac's show does exactly what it is supposed to do for a morning show. It's entertaining and serves it's purpose. Everyone loved Jim and his personality but he had been out of touch with the current day sports world for a long time. You could tell he didn't care much anymore and was nearing retirement. 

I don't really listen to the mid day shows - usually go to National sports talk once I get to work. 

Only issue I have with WFNZ is that "Salesguy" that gets his tweets read on the air all the time. He seems like a real dick.

I've noticed the volume has gone down drastically ever since Jim left. He was definitely a fan of Salesguy. 

Very true! - Mac could be in the middle of a discussion about the Hornets and Jim would cut him off to read a tweet from Salesguy about "Meg" Ryan and the Falcons that he probably sent out 2 or 3 days before. Jim loved him some SC.....errrr...I mean Salesguy for sure.

Not to blow smoke up your a$$, but heard you on WFNZ a few times and you give a really good interview. Should have you on more especially during the season.

I enjoy Macs, Franks, and Krogs shoes specifically during panther season. All of those guys are fans of the team which makes it enjoyable for me

Weidl is giving you his opinion as a fake scout. He seems like a nice dude but I can promise you if he knew what he was talking about, he would be working for an NFL team or a real scouting agency....not the fake one espn created.

I totally agree on Kroeger. He has national talent.

I loved the old Gary Williams/Celania days.

      Unc Basketball thread

      The guy has not coach college in ten years and in that span its greatly changed. Still take him over Davis, I want to see the presser and if billy still has fire in his eyes for college non-sense.....plus you know billy will want a multi-million staff.  This is interesting, very....... glad the old guard FINALLY steps aside......

      Processing Blue: immediate draft needs

      By Basbear · Posted

      He's a hard player to rank, cause he is a young NT. I do see his abilities to branch out among the DL. That's the only way for him to land in the 1st, some team has to believe he's got the stuff to play DE or T3.... I just don't see using 19 on him, I feel there should be around 7 players just ranked higher than him for the Panthers team.  ___________________________________________________________________   Now you are a roster nut like me. Im tossing this into fire, I think a good move is to trade UP, yes rare. Just the roster #s tell me 5 rookies and no more than 2 starters will make the team. I feel 5 is magic number.    QB- 2  BY, Pickett RB- 3   Chubba, Brooks(pls), etienne TE- 4   Sanders, Temble, Evans, Draft pick/major/franks/UDFA OL- 10   Walker, Lewis, Fortner, Hunt, Motown, Zavailla, Samac, Stone, Draft pick, Draft pick/Charles/carter WR-  6   Tmac, XL, Coker, Metch, Horn, Tremay   offense=  25 with 3 draft picks   DL-  6   Brown, Brown, Wharton, Ray, Cam, Hunter/draft pick Ed-   5  Phillips, Nic, Prince, Jones, ST/incoom/hampton ILB-   5  Lloyd, Wallace, Bam, Claud, draft pick CB-    5 Horn, Jackson, Thor, Evans, draft pick/CSN/UDFA SS-  4  Scott, More, Ramsom, Sim   Defense = 25 with 2 picks   ST = known 3+o+d = 53 roster   SO I see only room for 5-6 with factoring in UDFA pool. That tells me to trade up! Bonus the 1st+3rd gets in front of TB yucs. Then use one of the 5ths+2nd to draft another target. That's your two starters and use the 4th, 5th and 6th for the development OTs and what ever the best player are at the pick/DB. The last couple years they have added 2-3 UDFA each year, maybe the same this year too. Soooooooo Im normally 95% trade back, but above made me change my mind. I do not want to waive 5th rounder, I feel thats high with players on the bench.    ?? There's waiver claims too, they have done that each year.
