Just heard Mick Mixon at Lunch Rotary

[panthers55]

He talked for 30 minutes at the Shelby Lunch Rotary meeting.

He didn't break that much new ground but did say that they are looking to upgrade at corner and on the interior defense saying that with 500 players being released, there will be some good guys to pick up. He talked about how Fox would play not to lose but this year the mentality was to bury the opponent. Said part of the reason we were going with Cam was because he had the best upside to become a dominating player.

On a personal note I found him very funny and engaging as a speaker. He had great stories and tells them very well. While he joked that the Panthers should have paid fans for what we put out on the field last year, he didn't offer to rebate my PSl money. He talked about richardson being back and his old self this past year. Said Jerry has colorful language and kids everyone quite a bit. Said JR came up to him a week or so ago and asked how he was doing. Mixon said fine. Then he said we are looking for a good season from the Panthers this year and hoped Mick was up to the challenge as well and didn't "@#$%" it up. They laughed and moved on. But it was a very good speech and actually better than he appears when I hear him on the radio.

Lots of folks seem to hate him here but my assessment of him just went up.

[Mr. Scot]

People have hated Mixon for not being Bill Rosinski, which isn't fair.

I've grown to accept him as voice of the Panthers.

I think he is good commentary while you're actually watching the game. When I had to stream radio broadcast of it, he gave next to no detail about what was actually going on. "Williams gets the handoff." *pause* "Waiting for a flag..." *pause* "Touchdown!"

Mick would make a great baseball announcer! Football, not so much.

Was not a Rod Stewart fan until my sister took me to one of his concerts. Actually thought it was good, so now I am a Rod Stewart fan.

Nothing to do with football per se, but the similarities are striking.

Mick Mixon sucks.

You should have DDT'd him off the top rope.
