One of the headlines from Charlotte in the early days of the offseason program related to the size of the body of Panthers receiver Kelvin Benjamin. Now that Benjamin apparently is in shape, Panthers G.M. Dave Gettleman has a few things to say about the reaction to Benjamin’s bloat.

“This is what frustrates me with the media today,” Gettleman said recently, via Bill Voth of the website the Panthers own and operate. “They go to DEFCON 5 on everything. . . . Kelvin Benjamin being overweight was not a big deal. It was April 17. Can we all get a grip?”

For starters, the media doesn’t go to “DEFCON 5 on everything.” The media showcases the stories that the audience is expected to be interested in, at every given phase of the calendar. The media companies that do that the best way thrive; those that fail to write and talk about things of interest to the audience fail.

"Oh how dare we get attacked for over-sensationalizing a story that turned out to be no big deal? How dare the Panthers defend Kelvin Benjamin and attack us for talking about him negatively."

So nowadays you can't criticize the press. What has the world come to.

No seriously. The media can fug off fir real. Dont act like they are just being good journalists. Thats a bunch of bullsshit. Sometimes yes

 

but today its all about clicks and money. If they can twist a story around they fugging will. They want the reactionary click bait title to get clicks. 

 

Weve even seen it on this site and many of us eventually said thsts enough

 

this isnt every case and most outlets produce at least some quality content but i am 100% on board with gettleman and the parts of the media more concerned with clicks than actually producing legitimate truthful content can go fug themselves

 

its like looters. That story breaks and every dumbass had to go in and abuse the story to get personal gain. 

 

Sure, kelvin derserves criticism, but the panic and frenzy that ensued was pathetic and fugin retarded.

Things wouldnt need to get to DEFCON 5 levels if Benjamin would be a professional about his job and stay in shape. Then Gman doesnt have to cover for him and Voth doesnt have to talk poo. It seems silly to blame the press for a situation that was self created.

Florio and most of the folks at PFT are entitled losers who sensationalize their articles to make money. I miss the days of reporters actually reporting the facts of situations. Unfortunately, real journalism is a dying breed across the board, not just sports journalism.

      Canales is holding us back

      I don't think Dave touches the defense. That might be a mark against him but definitely a huge red flag for evero. He refuses to run anything other than soft zone and when you don't get pressure that's an awful scheme

      You don't have to convince me. I think not picking up the option should absolutely be firmly on the table but I just do not see Tepper and Morgan doing that for previously stated reasons. Therefore I'm not going to bother entertaining the notion. Just hoping we actually get real viable competition. If that doesn't happen at the minimum then my perception of that is complete and utter professional malpractice.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By Bama Panther · Posted

      It was absolutely a catch, and I can’t believe how many folks were stating, before the NFL’s apology, that the overturn was the right call.  The ultimate question in this case is this: can a player complete a catch with only one hand? Of course, we all know the answer to that question, and it is an emphatic “Yes.” T-Mac maintained complete control with one hand (believe it was the right) while the other came off when the ball hit the ground. The ball was in the same position in the one hand (watch T-Mac’s fingers in relation to the NFL shield on the ball) after touching the ground as it was when it first went to the ground. Going back to the question above, if one hand can establish control, then there was no need for the other to stay on the ball, so long as the ball doesn’t move in that one hand that stays on it   It blew my mind that they overturned this in the first place. This should not be a “We got it wrong on the replay because there wasn’t clear and convincing evidence.” This should have been, “That was absolutely a catch.”
