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

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.

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 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

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

      Time to Sign David Njoku

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.

      Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
