Panthers to ink Quintin Mikell?

[skarbar001]

We got Tom cokehead Sorensen and Joe permanent vacation Person...our beat sucks but then again, the Charlotte Observer sucks in its own right.

Why does a beat writer need a vacation? They hardly even write stories anymore, they just tweet. Their life is a vacation. I'm in the hard scrapping life of sales and I have taken maybe two vacations since graduating college.

looks like his tweet came from what he read on rotoworld.

and to SCP...I was in Monterey last weekend. Saw a couple walking down the street. The big, fat man was dressed all in Steelers garb, whilst his Alicesque wife was a Cowboy. Douches unite. I wonder if that was those first trip out of Indiana.

Good lord, what a useless sack Person is. How in the world have they not fired this piece of poo? Never in my life have I seen someone "professional" so incompetent and lazy.

[Scrumtrilescent]

Wait til you graduate college.

in defense of person...it's not like the panthers are exactly open about anything, esp. with gettleman. we haven't had one clue about anything he's done so far. contract restructures...FA pickups...whatever, he's got that org. tightlipped, not that it wasn't always closed off about what it's doing.

 

HOWEVER...the observer had a guy who had sources and could find out some stuff and they let him go and replaced him with a guy who has NO sources.

 

It's not person's fault he's crappy at getting info and sharing it. ok...maybe it is his fault, but that's besides the point. the observer made a crappy hire to be their beat reporter.

 

when you hire a guy to report on a team, here's where you start...get a guy who knows people or who can get to know people quickly. if they have to breathe through their mouths and wear socks with sandals, it might not be a good sign.

We would still have that guy if he wasn't so overly critical of ownership prior to the lockout. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

true. he started prizing himself on being a argumentative douche and it caught up with him. of course now he's with a bigger organization owned by a big douche and he's probably getting paid more and getting a whole lot more exposure so...

+ the people who tell me to sit down. Or the people who look at you with disgust when you start banging the empty seats around you on 3rd down. 

 

That is invigorating isn't it?  Nothing says I'm a fan like "excuse me sir but my 17 month old is trying to sleep".
