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

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      The entire OP is about the play calling and results and only mentioned T-Mac one time, in the sense of our offensive struggles only made me more frustrated about our #1 WR only getting a single 2nd half target in a game we were behind for the majority of it. How is that showing my true colors? It's way more of other people reading too much into it and thinking this is all and only about T-Mac for me, but it's not.  He just happens to be the player that I specifically was upset by his 2nd half usage, but it had nothing to do with my personal feelings towards him, but that he's our only legitimate WR and he had a single target in the 2nd half after going for 73 yards in the first. To me, that is a very legitimate play calling gripe, the win or particular player aside.

      Any well functioning team benches Bryce

      By Achilles · Posted

      We’re stuck with Bryce for now.  He led TWO drives where we came from behind to take the lead. One of them was the winning drive and he threw the winning TD. Taken as a whole…he played at expectation after the 1st quarter. That’s not so bad under the circumstances.  We got the win. Maybe they’ll struggle to build on it but a win is a win. He drove the offense down and took the lead when it was needed. You can’t take that away from him.    We’re not changing QBs anytime soon.  Or owners.  So…when they win, we should take it at face value and give credit where it’s due.  Bryce came up big in clutch moments. You can’t take that away from him.
