I sent this as a question to him in the ask Michael Silver...not a question but it will get to him.

Michael, You are taking this media lockout(at the Panthers workout) a little too personal. As a team that just overhauled their defensive and offensive coaches I feel that the Panther players are taking this very seriously and want productivity and focus.

As a fan yes, I would like to see them but I understand most have not even seen the new playbooks and terminology and it was made known that they will open up the workouts to media on a specific day.

I appreciate the planning, thought and focus that seems to be happening. 50 players showed up and with 28 free agents on the team that speaks volumes. Write about that and create a cohesive article when the media day is open.

A "raffle" to dunk Jon Beason in a pool of water is fan friendly but fans want wins! I do not want SIR PURR dancing around while they are explaining the new terminology and plays to vets and rookies. If any team has to be serious to right their ship: it is the Panthers(new coaching, scheme, uncertain free agent pool).

The elimination of public or media distractions for a few days is at minimum a sign the players will "right this ship" sooner than later. This lockout is affecting the media as well and I feel you just projected the frustration of this lockout on the Panthers and undeservingly so.

the thing is...he'll still write about them. many of them were saying silly things like "next time you players come looking for extra publicity i look forward to laughing" but the truth is they'll jump on it. they all will. they know that the panthers are going to be news..esp. with newton here.

now, the media might still be bitter for a while about getting locked out so they might not be favorable to what the team is doing, but if they want those interviews, which they will, they'll get back to kissing ass. guys like silver will keep on writing about them, even just to say they suck, but he'll come off looking like the douche he is and the panthers will have more attention. once they start winning a lot of games, they'll have that bandwagon filling up thanks in part to tirades like silver's.

So can anyone actually produce a fan that is upset about this?

i saw tweets from a couple fans (one who posts in here a lot) who called it a slap in the face of fans after enduring a 2-14 season.

meh....

some douche called in on the whiner line yesterday on wfnz and complained and said he was going to have a beer with Brees and become a Saints fan. He was immediately dismissed as a tool.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I would like to have had a little more info if I am being completely honest. But I do not control the access and neither does this douche. He needs to learn to live with it as I have. Fvcker was probably just looking for QB controversy to fling against the wall anyway.

Journalists don't snap. Hacks do. Fvck 'em.

what's better for fans...having a team that plays with the fans and allows them to dunk the players or having a team thats willing to isolate themselves for a time dedicated to improving as a team?

right now i'll take the latter.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
