Nick Wilson Gone from WFNZ

[TarawaJake]

Wilson and Norfleet had the worst show in Charlotte sports talk history, Wilson alone was only slightly better. I'm fat now but I used to be really fat over and over and he had awful takes on sports.

I loved Jim Celania when he was there. Also, Frank Garcia wasn’t that bad until we found out he was a scumbag 

I stopped listening to FNZ when Jim retired. I like Mac and Bone, but it just wasn't the same without ol' blue.

Is this Teppers fault?

Hopefully the live training camp interviews come back, I know media is allowed in locker rooms again this year but who knows how much media lockout Tepper/Rhule are still trying to enforce during camp.

Probably a fairly significant amount. Now, Fan Fest is two days before the preseason opener. Be interesting to see if any on-field activity besides stretching will take place, tbh.

Liked Nick.  He wasn’t like the rest of the Charlotte media.  He’d speak his mind and wasn’t shy or wouldn’t hold back.

 

thought it was funny.  Last Friday was his last show.  And Tepper came into the studio to surprise  him and wish him well.

told him he was part of the Baker deal and that it’s so he doesn’t have to hear Nick talk bad about him or the Panthers anymore.

Chris Kroeger was local. A little nerdy and a homer but tolerable. I enjoyed that he was a fan, loved the teams.

Evidently, something went south and fast. It was almost like he was found to be fond of farm animals, or worse.

When Kroeger left to be the radio voice of the Hornets that was his dream job! It's like he just disappeared from the face of the earth. Does anyone know what happened? I still wonder what it was.

I could not agree more 🫵...but I'd expand it to the entire United States of America !!

The amazing thing is they lined up the single dumbest guy in radio (S.N.), and, the 2nd dumbest guy in radio (F.A.N.W), on the same show!  A masterstroke never before witnessed by the people of this area but destined to take the place of the mudshark in your mythology  .

The last GM came from Atlanta and Norfleet was his buddy from down there...that GM was the dumbass who demoted Bailey and gave F.A. Wilson the drive-time slot.  The dummy GM showed his hand with that move and the parent company ultimately forced him to undo it and his days were numbered...

...there's a new GM in place now who is super solid and cleaning up the mess of the previous dolt.

Will be interesting to see who gets the 10am-2pm slot.

That one really is perplexing...

...the secret has been amazingly well kept.

Looks like he has a new website:  https://www.chriskroeger.com

I just wanna say Nick Wilson was THE BEST and I am utterly heart broken. Didn’t like him when he first started with that other dude. Must’ve been the other dude because he became my far and away favorite. We didn’t deserve him!

Whatever it was, I hope it was worth it because it completely ruined his career. My guess is he was caught dipping his pen in the company ink.

I still can’t believe this hasn’t leaked yet. I remember Steve Martin coming on FNZ one of Kroeger’s last days and basically passing the torch to him. Then fast forward to when he had a hornets play call go viral…and then bam…fired and vanished without a trace
