Gus Johnson could be calling some of our games next season

[Dpantherman]

if we have a season (i fuging hate having to say that)...

Raissman now reports that CBS opted not to match the offer from FOX, which means that Johnson is indeed out at CBS. And that he’ll now be working for FOX.

For NFL fans, the move means only that Johnson will primarily be working NFC games, not AFC games, on Sundays during football season. The next time, of course, there actually is a football season.

Newton + Gus could make for a very exciting broadcast. Anyone but Torry Holt again.

Torry Holt was so bad....I felt sorry for him.

[Montsta]

It'll be interesting if Billick calls some of our games and Newton shines, considering how much he's been down on him since the draft.

I am sure many NFC games will have precedent over our beloved Panthers for the services of Gus Johnson, Fox didn't just outbid CBS to throw him to regional games. That being said, it would be a nice change of pace to have some good announcing during our 16 game stint of 1:00 games.

[Carl Spackler]

I expect Johnson to be part of FOX's #2 crew behind Aikman and Buck, so unless we light it up we'll be sticking with Kenny Albert and Dick Stockton all year.

[Dpantherman]

If Cam is exciting enough, who knows.

[Nicbsbll2]

We'll get him for at least one game if for no other reason than the lower level crews will be bitching about having to cover our games every week..

Gus is the best announcer in sports. Great news.

[MrPickles]

He'll probably do a lot of NFC West games since he's doing Pac 12 games as well.

[Boltergeist]

Here's the FOX release

From the sounds of it, he won't be doing NFL until the last few weeks of the season

15 game stint we have a 4:15 kickoff since its in Arizona :p

[pantherfan81]

Per twitter he is now the the lead announcer with Charles Davis.

Besides MMA

[Dpantherman]

Charles Davis did NFL games and college games last year. Shouldn't conflict. Fox doesn't even show college games until bowl season anyway.
