Primetime with the Packman's last show was on Wednesday, contract was not renewed. No announcement yet as to who takes over his timeslot.

I liked some of his show and detested other parts (QCB & Whiner Line). The guys who are celebrating his departure should be careful until they find out what's going to take Packer's place. It really could be a lot worse. :eek:

Pick me! Pick me! :seeya:

I work cheap! And listeners won't have to put up with Da Bears, Cubbies or Giants! (I may lament of my Colties some times.)

But 99% of the time it will be:

1) Charlotte Sports

2) North Carolina Sports (Not UNC, but what's going on in the state.)

3) National Sports.

4) Anything else

I'll even have a babe from one of the "Gentlemen's Clubs" co-host on Fridays! :D

Bring back Gary Williams!!

Gary's got his own problems. First of all his show has become beyond boring even with the addition of Steve Phillips, who is terrible on the radio.

And he better hope Howard Stern renews his contract with Sirius or it's goodbye Satellite Radio.

Wasn't that great of a host. Kept caller on the air waaaay too long. Didn't get rid of QCB when his act got stale. And wasn't a good interviewer.

No one at WFNZ is a good interviewer! They break every rule I was ever taught on interviewing.

Listen!

Never ask an open ended question.

Never ask more than 1 question at a time.

Listen to the answer!

Never talk over the answer.

Never be a "knob polisher" to the person you are interviewing.

There are 12 DON'TS during an interview, and they all break at least 10 of them trying to be funny!

You never saw David Frost crack jokes when he was interviewing Nixon!

I just hope they replace him with someone local. I moved to Raleigh last year and there is only one decent local host here in the morning and the rest of the day is all ESPN radio until Pack at 3. I would stream the WFNZ during the day it's so bad. I was reading on the Observer comments and they're all for a national syndicated guy which is the exact opposite of why I liked WFNZ.

      I just want to see a big guy with an NFL certified cannon arm suit up for the panthers again. To me, it will show that they are at least  trying to take the QB position in the direction it needs to go.   Will he throw picks? Yes. Probably a hell of a lot, but (for now) I’m strangely ok with that… for now. I at least need to see a dude that CAN make the throws with some semblance of accuracy.  This is the time to see what the QB whisperer is made of. The offensive talent is there. It’s certainly better than most rookie/journeymen QBs will ever step in to. If he can get a random dude playing at a JAG level, then I might be sold.  Andy could really surprise in the Buffalo game. He (for now) still has enough arm for Tet and XL to show what they’ve got, but we all know it’s only going to be good for 3-4 games, max. He has vet savvy, and that does account for a lot. He also has a full week of practice with all the snaps to prepare.  My best case scenario going forward: Andy plays the next 2 games nobly (winning one would be a huge bonus) giving White a chance to learn some of the playbook and develop chemistry with the players. Serviceable Andy turns in to old man Andy in game 3 and White takes the field after halftime.  A high ankle sprain (lol, sure it is) is an injury that can buy the team a LONG time for BY to ride the pine…. Maybe even IR. His peak trade value is now. Get what they can for this albatross. He’s now shown that he can be a mid level backup which does hold a significant value for the right team.  Not even in my wildest dreams do I see White being anything more than a JAG, but that’s ok. JAGs with a big arm make great bridge QBs that at least won’t have your play makers stagnating. Keeping BY under center is a 100% recipe for stagnating high ceiling (Tet/XL) dudes and/or not allowing them to take the next step in their development. Why even practice the good half of the playbook if the QB can’t make the throw? After a while, you’ve now got high ceiling guys who can only run a limited route tree. No thanks.
