I finally quit listening to the Roaring Riot podcast with Ellis. He couldn’t make a negative comment without prefacing it with an apology or something positive. It was obvious he was too close to the team to be able to give an honest assessment. I have no use for someone like that who appeases the owner and “positive vibes only” crowd. I haven’t listen to him this season, but I could probably tell you exactly he’s been saying each week. 

I remember the “positive vibes crowd”.

The ones that would not shut the hell up for at least six months, to me, personally, pathetically sheilding Tep’s honor should you dare to scrutinize the hiring of Baylor‘s head coach to lead an NFL franchise into the 20’s. 

Mosy importantly, I am not affiliated with the Roaring Riot (good folks, especially my guy Salesman on Twitter) 

Hopefully, they can win a game on Sunday. Anyway, best of luck to you this season, and appreciate your feedback.

Great. Typos. That’ll teach me to use voice to text.

Hey, seriously, appreciate each of you. I don’t pop in here enough, and it’s always been a good place. Carolina owes you guys some wins lol. Takes its toll, for sure.

About time @ellis @EllisRadio80 popped in and said hello.

I think you've been pretty fair about things, a little more positive than I am at this point.  We are on the same page about Bryce.....way too early to judge what he's going to be.

I think your torching of the defense is warranted and I really think you should hold Burns's feet to the fire more than you do.  I mean the guy is asking for $30M+ - do you think he deserves that much?

appreciate the kind words. Brian and I don’t have the type of friendship that requires softball q&a’s. He respects my approach professionally, and I respect him professionally. unless it’s just somebody who absolutely causes problems with a team, I’m not here to just randomly roast these guys. It doesn’t mean you can’t be tough, or direct. I don’t know where this will end up with the front office, and Brian’s camp. I know his brother well, we’re buddies. But again, there’s no awkwardness to any of that.  Knew Stan before Brian was a pro 

hard to say what he’ll get. Somebody in this league will probably aim to get Burns in a deal…one of several decisions to be made. 

I like Brian, just like I appreciated DJ and Christian. The presence they brought was in the positive for the team, and community. It’s just, even with these guys on the roster, there’s not a lot of winning going on. They are not to blame, not at all. I don’t like giving away when I feel is a true alpha on the defense, and the guy who could be a long-term 10-12 sack/yr franchise guy. It’s certainly not a no-brainer, but. I would lean towards working on a deal that makes them feel appreciated, while reflecting the true value of his presence, short and  long-term.

I follow both you and Billy on twitter, why doesn’t William post about the panthers anymore?

I can’t speak for Billy, but I know that he likes to focus on college and NFL stuff on the app. He’s been doing that for a while. I think he prefers film stuff and other issues on the Panthers for behind the scenes, he does a lot of breakdown on the tape during the week, and then we have the Pod for his Panthers-related platform. 

I had to miss a little bit of time for a couple of weeks ago, I’ve got somebody close to in family who is dealing with Parkinson’s, and we had to put all of our attention into that to get her situated. 

Billy has a busy work schedule, and his hours conflict with mine a little bit. Likely, we think we’ve worked out two new timeslots per week to be able to record. I appreciate you asking. Hope all is well

Well for however anyone may feel about Ellis and his takes on the team at least he is humble enough to address concerns and own up to any misconceptions. That's commendable.

These are difficult times. Yet again. There should be fair tough questions asked of ownership front office coaching and players. It's good to try to spread things evenly though. Much is said of the defense and Burns which has been lacking. But the offense has got to start holding up their end of the bargain. We need a good showing at home against the Texans. However if it's more of the same ineptitude then everyone on down to the water boy deserves a good tongue lashing. Hopefully they rise to the occasion.

I am sorry to hear about the health issues to that person close to you. Thanks for replying, I enjoy you and Billy’s tweets and listen to the pod when I can, keep it up!

Thanks for the response.  I remember you going after Rhule and Tepper like a maniac back in the day.  Its good to be critical and not fluff things like others do.  But to me you have been way more lenient on the team this year and maybe I am wrong but once you got credentialed you had to soften your approach as you know tepper follows you guys.  Maybe I am wrong but it sure feels that way.

I still listen to your podcast whenever you put it out and I get personally both you and billy are going through some things but just a piece of advice from someone that is constantly listening to things during the day at work etc.  Consistency is the way to build you audience.  Make sure you podcast is dropped every week on the same day and preferably the same time.  I am not sure how much time goes into doing one and producing it but IMO consistency is the key to growing your podcast.

 

Still love your work and thanks for stopping by
