Today, ESPN.com welcomes David Newton as its Carolina Panthers reporter.

Newton joined ESPN.com in December of 2006 as the lead motorsports writer for its NASCAR coverage. Prior to that he spent 11 seasons covering the Carolina Panthers and NFL for The State newspaper in Columbia, S.C., where he won national and state writing awards. He also has covered Southeastern Conference and Atlantic Coast Conference football and basketball.

 

It would seem that none of the other teams in our division got a personal reporter. It also says he has covered us in the past for another publication. Does anyone know why we now have two reporters and what this means? Will he essentially be competing with Joe Person as our beat writer?

Person works for the Observer, not ESPN.

I know, what I'm asking is if he will be competing with him for info since his job is the panthers now.

not competition. person asks player/coach a question, gets ignored. asks again a few minutes later, becomes recipient of an eye roll before being ignored again. hears the answer to a question made by @jjones9 (the other beat reporter employed by the observor) or some other guy that isn't perceived by the team to be a moron and then spins it and slaps it on twitter so he can get his precious retweet. the rest of the time he's following his "sources" (ie: twitter feeds from reporters around the league) and then retweeting what he saw.

 

so....will the espn guy be competing with that? i sure hope he's not trying to do that.

 

competing with jones and yas and bill voth and steve reed and sorenson....maybe. person is no competition.

      If they lose the last three......

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!

      Inappropriate relationship with a team staffer, followed up with some stalking behavior, and ultimately a felony home invasion charge from a visit at her apartment that culminated in him threatening her life and his as well.
