From Panthers.Com:

SPARTANBURG, S.C. - NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will make an appearance at Panthers training camp Wednesday to host a fan forum and then watch the team practice.

Goodell's first training camp visit of 2011 - and his first trip to Wofford College for Panthers camp as commissioner - will kick off with a question and answer session with fans at approximately 5:15 p.m. on the bank that runs alongside the Panthers' lighted practice field. Fans are encouraged to come armed with questions for the commissioner.

Goodell will then watch the team's practice, scheduled to start at 6 p.m.

The visit comes on the heels of the completion of an unprecedented 10-year Collective Bargaining Agreement between the NFL and its players. During the negotiations, Goodell worked closely with Carolina Panthers Owner/Founder Jerry Richardson, who served as co-chair of the League's 10-owner executive committee.

During negotiations, Goddell conducted a fan forum via teleconference with Panthers PSL Owners, and he also joined Panthers head coach Ron Rivera for a trip to Fort Bragg that also featured a fan forum.

I prefer my own press release:

Goodell's first training camp visit of 2011 - and his first trip to Wofford College for Panthers camp as commissioner - will kick off with a question and answer session with fans at approximately 5:15 p.m. on the bank that runs alongside the Panthers' lighted practice field.

Well, here's mine:

SPARTANBURG, S.C. - The Carolina Panthers Training Camp at Wofford College will be the site of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell’s first 2011 Training Camp visit Wednesday, Aug. 3, when he participates in a fan forum prior to the team’s 6 p.m. practice.

The forum will take place on the bank overlooking the lighted practice field at Wofford at approximately 5:15 p.m. Wednesday and fans are invited to participate.

It will be Goodell’s first visit to Spartanburg since he became Commissioner and comes following the successful negotiation of an unprecedented 10-year Collective Bargaining Agreement for the League and its players.

The Commissioner will arrive in Spartanburg Wednesday afternoon and attend practice after the forum. Goodell has conducted numerous forums since becoming commissioner, but Wednesday will be his first since ratification of the CBA by both the owners and players.

During the negotiations, Goodell worked closely with Carolina Panthers owner and founder Jerry Richardson, who served as co-chair of the League’s 10-owner executive committee. The CBA allows the NFL to maintain competitive balance while providing economic support to past players and focusing on the health and safety of our current players.

Wofford College is the alma mater of Richardson and has been the home of the Panthers training camp since the team’s inaugural season in 1995.

    • Outside of cerrato, I do like our draft overall. Hard to get can't miss draft picks when you pick late in the draft
    • Very True--and I am a former HS English teacher.  
    • Not a Moore fan-but he had a few good games last year-but I want players that scare you--Renfrow's route running and intelligence, Legette's size, speed, and strength, AT's intelligence and route running, Coker's body control, strong hands, and abilty to win contested catches, and TMac's size, body control, and ability to find soft spots in zone coverages.  Horn gives them the ability to stretch the field and he plays special teams.   Moore has a nice smile and can dance.  He filled in well last season, but to get better as a team, you have to upgrade your players.  I think Moore is a bottom of the roster guy who got bumped when we drafted 2 WRs and signed a legit free agent.  Here is the thing--TMac makes us better because he is great against the zone--man?  Good luck with that.  AT's role can be reduced, and that is probably a good thing.  He can specialize in situational football. Coker?  Just getting started. XL?  Just getting started.  Drafting TMac was probably a bit of a wake up call, but XL will be better as the 2. Renfrow?  I see him splitting reps with AT--keeping both fresh and giving different looks. Horn?  Watch the safety cheat his side when he is in the game--I see a young Steve Smith type in him, but he has yet to play a game.  I hear that Morgan loves him.
