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

    • See my previous post. You're also leaving out that T-Mac was likely hitting a rookie wall, like 95% of rookies do late in their first season, combined with the added attention on him by defenses, which in turn would be why Bryce looked Coker's way down the stretch.  With Coker playing like that to start next year, defenses will have to pay attention to it, which will then also make things easier for T-Mac. All of which is also ignoring that T-Mac will just be a better player next year than he was this year, assuming he works on his game this offseason, which we all know he will be.  If a player who was already your clear cut #1 comes back even better his next season, you're going to make sure you're throwing it his way more often, no matter who else you have. Again, Coker's added targets won't be at the expense of T-Mac's, they will BOTH be taking targets from the rest of the team.  Not to mention, we should be passing it more next year to begin with, seeing as we'll have both of them hopefully ready to go full speed Week 1, which again, will help both their target totals increase. Coker looks like a really good player, but even the most optimistic person can't say he looks like he has #1 potential, he has very solid to maybe even high end #2 potential.  You're not taking targets away from the reigning OROY who looks like a true Top 15 WR already to get your #2 targets, you increase both of them by taking from the others.
    • Need to crush the hawks tonight. A lose would really damage momentum 
    • Sorry, but this is a terrible breakdown that doesn't at all show what you're trying to say/project about T-Mac next year, as it leaves out key information that changes everything, it makes the opposite point that you're trying to. Chase missed 5 games that second season after playing all 17 as a rookie (and still saw more targets that second season). Puka it looks like you projected his stats out to a 17 game season (as he only played 11 games), but even still , when you have 160+ targets as a rookie, there isn't really much room to get any more the next year. Waddle saw an increase in yards, and sure, his targets went down, but he played on a team with a better WR that year who saw 170 targets for 1,710 yards during that 2nd season for Waddle... something T-Mac doesn't have to contend with on the same team (280+ targets for their top 2 WRs, if you don't think T-Mac would see more than 122 targets if him and Coker combined for 287, then you're nuts). Then Olave and Wilson both saw an increase of 19 targets in their second season. You basically just laid out the reasoning for why T-Mac should see at least 20 more targets next year, if not more, which would be a solid increase and put him easily into the Top 10 most targeted WR next season.
