Darin Gantt and Armanti Edwards

Is there better example in national sports journalism of being such a homer as Gantt is for Edwards? He has nothing but doting love for his beloved Armanti. I don't mind writers following certain players for their quote-worthiness or because they're a big name, but what he's done the past couple months largely disgusts me.

Well, sports media is my career. But those I work around for the most part don't even know I'm a Panthers fan. So here, I can enjoy anonymity and not be judged. When I write about teams or players or drivers I like I don't talk to them or write about them from a fan's perspective. But I'm still a sports fan. That doesn't change. But sitting at a game covering it, I don't care who wins and I certainly don't cheer in the press box, that makes me sick.

First of all, that's not even close to true. Second of all, the fans aren't professional sportswriters. They can be as biased as they want.

Darrin Gannt is giving the fans what they want. Anytime someone doesnt slurp the panthers people complain that "nobody likes us". He's just trying to keep you guys happy by slurping a player that you and him both happen to like and both happen to think is already better than Steve Smith

This is a f**king topic about a fan who is sick of Gantt slurping Edwards.

Yes but the majority of the fans are eating it up because they really beleive Edwards is already Steve Smith. Maybe you could write Darin a letter to let him know that there is a fan out there who doesnt apreciate it. Im so sure he'll stop once he hears about it...

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
