After decades of being a local family-owned joint - last year, the place that's been super-friendly to us local Panthers fans near Perimeter Mall was sold to new ownership.

So I just poked my head into the place to see if they'll be as warm and welcoming to us taking over that front TV spot like we've been doing.

The response? "We're no longer a Carolina Panthers bar."

So that begs a question: where do y'all want to go now to watch the games?

Do we go to that bar anyway and say "screw it", or do we find a new place? If it helps, I drove over to one of their other locations that used to be Panther-friendly, and the staff there said, "sure!!! Come on by and we'll probably even throw the game up on one of the two giant projector screens; you might not get sound, but we'll get the game on for you somewhere - we've got plenty of TVs here."

Unless you guys have better suggestions and location scouting reports.

take that poo over.. coordinate on here and social media.. fug the falcons

The bitch about it is that the old place (multiple locations) was really more of a locals place where everybody knew each other, the bartenders bought rounds of drinks, the owner came by to say "hi", the waitstaff knew our regular orders, there was good-natured ribbing between the different fanbases that called the place home (one guy: "Ladies and Gentlemen, the NEW YORK fugIN' GIANTS!" // the entire rest of the bar: "Shut up, Charles").

With new ownership? Not so much. You can't get that at Generic Sports Bar

Yeah - we saw that was coming a little at the end of last season when the new owners took over w/ the new menu in Nov/Dec-ish.

I'm going to try the Spalding location for today until we figure out future weeks.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By frankw · Posted

      4610 total yards 27 total touchdowns 8 yards per attempt. Completion percentage was usual Cam ie mediocre or below at best at 57.7 and 86.2 passer rating. But the man scored points and moved the ball at will often. Compared to 2652 total yards 21 total touchdowns 6.3 yards per attempt completion % 60.9 82.2 passer rating. Let's just not do things like this. We can acknowledge Bryce improved (from realistically a bottom 5 QB) and hope he can work his way within the top 15 this season without dragging Cam Newton into it and unintentionally diminishing him. That's all I got to say. Carry on.

      I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.
