Every question asked was stupid or common sense.

"do you like run blocking" (no dummy, but it's my job),

"how would it feel to be 3-0 at home" (ummm better than 2-1),

"can you use Diggs aggression against him" (ummmm like in what way, like put a banana peel on the field, hope he doesn't see it and slips on it?).

And then obviously Newton's lack of knowledge XL's father passing. 

Hard to believe there are journalism schools out there, and this is what they produce. 

I'm pretty sure it's 90% because he went to Wofford lol, not really known as a top journalism school but was probably good enough for Jerry to get an alumni a job.

It wasn’t exactly like he got a top job in journalism. I mean, they are sportswriters.  He is more like the redneck Ray Barone than Woodward and Bernstein.

Oh I know, I'm just replying to the person who assumed he went to "journalism school" lol. He can barely spell/form a proper sentence vocally or on paper but here we are over a decade in with this guy...

Pretty insane that the beat reporter for the Carolina Panthers didn’t know that XL’s parents both died while he was in HS. That’s a horrific fact about XL’s life that has been brought to the public’s attention countless times during the pre-draft process, post-draft process and so on. We have to have the worst beat reporters in the NFL.

In that clip the ladies obviously picked up on it and at least took him out of that awkward situation to move the focus onto some things more jovial since Newton ruined the whole thing from the start.

Not sure what's worse, a beat writer not having any idea about it or a beat writer having actually written about it and then completely forgetting. I wouldn't be surprised if he's using ChatGPT to generate most of the crap he writes.

I'm going to give him a pass. It wasn't a prepared question, XL mentioned his dad being a cowboys fan and Newton just threw back a follow up question. Should he have remembered yeah but its not like he prepared the question. It's like someone mentioning their parent and your immediate response is oh yeah how's your dad doing?

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      By Paa Langfart · Posted

      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.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      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.
