It's actually sad that ESPN can't find anyone better than him to cover the Panthers. Someone fresh out of J-School would be way better

I can name at least half a dozen Huddlers that would do a better job no doubt in my mind.

Well well well.  Looks like I hit the nail on the head with my prediction!

That their Panthers coverage will suck.

good for Joe, who was the most misunderstood media member following the Panthers around for almost his entire tenure.

That's not praise for a journalist, who's job is literally to be understood.

Hahaha I can’t believe they are asking people to pay to read Joe Person. Yeah it sucks he will still be covering the Panthers, but at least I won’t have to read his garbage as I don’t subscribe to the athletic. Still a happy day.

good for him, great for us

Was hoping it was Jordan leaving. As much as I hate Persons voice,  I will never forgive Jordan for making a national scene about Cam's comments. She does great work (and i wont comment on her age or beauty like others have) but her work is outstanding. Yet...she did that to Cam~~~

Victim shaming. Typical. I don’t think what Cam said was as bad as the media made it out to be, but he still looked like an ass and shouldn’t have said it. He made a mistake, apologized, and most people have moved on.

In typical huddle fashion, the majority here aren’t smart enough to realize there’s a bigger picture...

Just wait until the second part of this news comes out!

Well, I tried to tell you guys.

This is incredible news.

step one in becoming a legitimate sports market is to rid selves of incompetent media members. Hopefully Newton, Garcia, and Parcell are next.

Wouldn’t this be a step backwards if the first quote is how you feel? Now Person is covering the Charlotte area for a bigger media outlet.

I can’t believe people pay to read stuff online. It’s a big deal on a lot of the college sports forums, I think because people think they are getting an inside scoop on recruiting. Even if they are getting a legit scoop is it that important to spend your money on something like this?
