Bold move there Cotton!!   😂

Seriously though, it depends on what kind of bankruptcy Bally is looking at.  Reorganization would keep them around probably, but it probably makes more sense to just fade away and sell.  I just don't know who they would sell to though - the leagues may buy the rights to the teams involved (although that's a conflict of interest) and then offer the franchises the ability to broadcast their own games.  That may be the most profitable way forward for regional sports.

Bally sports is fox sports south. It was just a rebranding. 

Technically yes, but definitely not on the business side.  Fox could negotiate much better than Sinclair/Bally ever has. 

Also, Fox wasn't trying to get blood from a stone in their deals.  Sure, they made sure to be profitable but unlike Sinclair they weren't vampires.

Also Sinclair took away our Marley Drug girl!!!

    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
    • The changes to onside kicks were ridiculous and ruined a significant part of the game     It was already a high risk low reward play.  Why change it?
