Ok why in the world do we still have 2 game threads tmrw.  I thought his would stop but he keeps going. We don’t need any negativity towards our team that’s all this guy provides. Either I shut my thread down and would run with his or he stops posting and we run with mine. There’s no point in having two threads. It’s becoming petty. 
 

@Stumpy @Harbingers  @Anybodyhome @MillionDollarCam @TrevorLaurenceTime22  sorry if I missed i few canes fans. you guys are the goats around here. I’m trying to live up to your standards. I Love this place.  But I don’t see a point in the Nc fella going against the grain and causing negative juju. We have a LEGIT chance to win a cup and we don’t need bad karma. I want to be a part of this crew for the long haul, however I don’t want to keep causing distractions because NC can’t handle his liquor. Thoughts?

Don’t let him get under your skin. That’s his entire point.

It’s not that he’s getting under my skin. I don’t want him to be bad juju for our team that’s on the precipice of greatness.  It’s rare that the North Carolina professional team has a chance to win the big one and this is our chance.

I've been around here for many years now and I can tell you there will always be people who annoy and upset the balance or simply cannot find the upside to anything. That being said, we have a choice to not read, respond, quote or otherwise exacerbate the situation. 

Hockey fans are not of the same ilk as football fans, particularly when it comes to being a fan of a football team who has enjoyed very limited success and a hockey team whose continued success is starting to gather more fans. The 2 sports are far from identical in many respects aside from the game itself. Therre are far fewer rules in hockey, but so much more nuance, so much more than just getting it done on the field or the ice.

Not every hockey game in the regular season is a must win. In football, it is.

In football, teams can screw with the cap in an effort to build a franchise. In hockey, it's a hard cap and it requires coaching, scouting and a minor league pipeline.

There is so much different in the 2, but we shouldn't be surprised this forum would attract a few football fans who aren't familiar with that nuance and don't understand that everything doesn't have to be perfect to be successful year in and year out.

As I said, we have a choice as to whom we follow, read and respond to. There is an ignore feature and I use it when I need to.

Maybe one of the greatest posts I’ve read since browsing this forum for 15 years. Wow. Well said brother. Learning from the bests. I’ll keep my end up and not disappoint. 
 

Thank you!

      He is a great guy but a horrible reporter. He makes my skin crawl when I hear his name. I heard that babies cry and dogs attack him when he enters a room. Other than that he is a good dude. Now go burn in hades u sum bit.

      David Newton finally retires

      The job just really passed him by. He came up when basically you just needed to get three or four quotes, toss a couple of team provided stats in there, and stretch it out to column length. you got your copy in by 330, out the door by 4, then chill/shmooze the rest of the day. If you were really good you got a book deal. Every now and then you got to write an editorial. The goal of the profession was like Peter King where ostensibly you’re a beat writer for whomever but you get paid to just shoot the poo. now it’s a 24 hour job, you’ve gotta be social media savvy, the pace has increased substantially, you’re expected to produce more than ever, you gotta be able to look through bullshit etc. there’s still risk of industry capture where you just become a mouth piece. Sheena Quick is obviously shameless. I don’t think Newton ever aspired to be more than an inoffensive beat writer, but even that relatively simple role was just more than he was cut out for. its even worse when you’re covering a team that expects the Fourth Estate to act as a PR extension, or considers them on par with buying Twitter bots to promote Bryce. there were over thirty papers that covered the panthers first training camp. In that environment there’s room for boring guys like newton, and they may even be incentivized to push the boundary a little. But today that just isn’t the case and most of the guys are hanging on until retirement (person, gantt) or they’re good and gonna be matched up like Jordan. im not defending the current state of sports journalism, just saying that what counts as a meat and potatoes beat writer passed newton by. He’s retiring well past his sell by date, but that’s pretty common for his generation in general.
