Mike Martz/ Ron Pitts will be Announcing Week 1

I don't mind Ron Pitts that much- not a great announcer but he does seem to know more about the team than some of the guys like Troy Aikmen who only pulls his head out of the NFC East's rear long enough to slurp Aaron Rodgers or Drew Brees, but still.

I'm guessing the Panthers/Bucs is probably the lowest "marquee" of the 4:25pm start times for Week 1. Hopefully, as the season progresses and we get some wins, they will move up the ranks.

And really, Mike Martz??!!

other two late games that week are hawks at cards and niners at the pack. I'm guessing the pack will be on for most of the nation.

You're right. Panthers/Bucs will probably only be shown in the respective team's markets.

I believe the CBS announcers overall are much better. The Panthers only get them twice a year, but they seem to be better prepared in terms of actually knowing the team than some of the Fox announce teams, especially Aikman/ Buck.

And it's not just the Panthers. For the most part, on teams outside of the NFC East, they know less about the teams than I do. I can understand for the most part them being assigned to the bigger market teams, but when the are assigned to cover other teams in the NFC, they should be better prepared.

simple solution is to mute the tv, and listen to your panthers radio broadcast. you'll have to play with your dvr though to get them synched up. I've tried this, and they always seem to be about three seconds apart. I just use the tv sound, and don't let sorry broadcasting bother me.

If you go on the internet you can find these gadgets that will let you sync the sound between the radio and the delayed TV.

About 2 bills.

Joe Buck is terrible. That is all.

He is hardly terrible. He is better at baseball since that is what he started under, but he is hardly terrible. I like Aikman and Buck a lot. They rarely mess up names and generally are thoughtful. Might not be the most entertaining bunch but they are better than any other Fox crew. Not like Jim Nantz kills it on CBS. Dude is just bizarre announcing anything but golf.

This works to delay streaming internet radio broadcast for 0 bills. I've used this on 3 sucessive laptops now to listen to the radio broadcast while watching panthers games (about 6-8 years now). Really small file (173 kb). The problem is finding a streaming broadcast. The nfl has clamped down and tried to shutdown all radio stations from streaming their live broadcast of nfl games, thus maintaining their monopoly of internet radio broadcast from the nfl.com website. Same fuggin' nfl lawyer Nazis that forced Zod to change the name of this website from panthershuddle.com to carolinahuddle.com. I can usually find one, but it gets harder every year.

I've almost bought the 2 bill $$$ physical gadget a couple of times so I don't have to search so hard for a radio station the streams the broadcast. Searching for a station that does it at the beginning of a game can be a PITA. The radio broadcast is usually 5-8 total seconds ahead of the tv in my case becase of:

1. Janet freakin' Jackson and

2. Satellite delay on the tv broadcast.

I have had cases when I can't get it to work. If it's Aikman/Buck or formerly Theisman, I usually go with a muted tv and pretend I'm in a bar.

EDIT: Oh, and Aikman/Buck suck donkey balls. Just sayin'. I've actually grown to like the Mixon/Robinson combination.

I don't care who it is as long as it isn't Buck/Aikman. They are the absolute worst and that they are the "#1 crew" for Fox speaks to how dumb the people over at Fox are.

Huh?

Fox was the only NFL carrier with a ratings increase with Buck/AIkman leading the way and being the most watched daytime TV show. Fox's pregame show has been #1 in ratings 18 years straight but yes the people at Fox are dumb. Good luck on your future TV executive career.

Whoa sorry Rupert Murdouche, didn't mean to get sand in your vagina.

Nice job reading the Fox press release. I'd argue that Fox's rating increase is due to carrying the NFC with the Cowboys, Giants, Redskins, Bears, Packers etc. The AFC just doesn't have teams with those types of fanbases outside of the Steelers. People are not watching more games on Fox because they prefer the announcers. Is that what you are trying to say?

Every resonable person knows Joe Buck and Troy Aikman are terrible.

      For those thinking Renfrow isn't making the team...Ha!

      By Panthers Rhule · Posted

      That depends on where he's at because if you look at his first 3 seasons before he got sick he had 49 rec as a rookie followed by 56 and then his pro bowl season he had 103 rec. If he's somewhere between seasons 2 and 3 then that wouldn't be bad at all. We'll have to wait and see but from the few clips I've seen and the comments I've heard and read I wouldn't be surprised if that is the case. Personally, I'm really pulling for him and I think he's going to be the comeback player of the year.

      More praise of Renfrow from Tim Weaver (formerly of USA Today's Panthers Wire, now SI.com), and also what I told some of you, my Huddle friends, from the start: keep it all in perspective, and don't conveniently---and perhaps unfairly, discount and label Renfrow as a JAG when it was a very debilitating illness affecting his play.    "It's understandable to be skeptical about Renfrow's abilities at this late point in his career. After all, he missed all of last season due to a bout of ulcerative colitis that also took a serious toll on his production in 2022 and 2023."   When Renfrow is healthy, he's an above average guy. Being 29 may hurt or help his chances depending upon perspective, but 29 for receivers generally means that there's still (sometimes plenty) gas in the tank. Renfrow also obviously has plenty of motivation and has come with his game face.   "Then agan, seeing is believing and by all accounts Renfrow has been very impressive since joining the Panthers a few months ago... Where Renfrow will fit in Carolina's new-look receiver corps remains to be seen, but at this rate it's going to be hard to exclude him from the initial 53-man roster." https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/hunter-renfrow-sick-route-panthers-training-camp Read the room, ladies and gentlemen. And don't get it twisted; Renfrow isn't the most talented receiver on the team, but we have seen his ceiling, when healthy, in a Raiders offense that wasn't necessary replete with talent. Consider what he can do, especially in the slot, in a Panthers offense primed with young talent (no pun intended). From sick to "sick routes," eh?
