Make no mistake about it that is Brett Jensen, former host at WFNZ. Generally, people that have unpopular thoughts or views about local sports teams get ripped on message boards, or Twitter. That's part of the territory. And if people didn’t like my show, I hate that, but it’s normal. You literally aren’t going to make everybody happy, regardless of what stance you take on a topic, or what your personality is.

 

Does it suck when things being said on message boards that are completely untrue? Without question. But usually you just let it be because no good can come from getting into a peeing contest with anonymous people on the Internet.

That being said, I feel like this is one of those rare occasions that need to be addressed.

 

Literally, just 20 minutes ago I received a text asking me what was going on with Nate Conley and this thing over at Carolina Huddle. I literally had no clue. I click on a link and don’t fully understand what was or had been stated previously, but I gathered it had something to do with apparently me bashing WFNZ people on a message board under some fake name.

 

There are a few things I’d like to say about this:

 

+ The last thing DJ Stout told me before I walked out of the station for the final time was to not burn bridges because he’s trying to manage a way for me to return to the station in at least a writing capacity for the website, and maybe back on the air if things turn around after the new year. In fact, I was told last week that it looks as though the website thing may happen, though not definite.

 

So, with that said, why would I risk a possible return to the station by ripping former colleagues and current friends in a public forum? It makes zero sense. Nobody would do that, especially somebody hoping to return to the station that I’ve been a part of since 2004, when I first co-hosted with Packman.

 

+ As far as visiting CarolinaHuddle.com, I’m sorry to say that my visits here can be counted on one hand over the last couple of years. And posting that message or whatever it was wasn’t one of the times.

 

+ I would literally take a polygraph test to show it wasn’t me. I literally swear on the grave of my father, who died exactly one year ago, that it wasn’t me. There’s zero reason for me to do any of that considering what was at stake.

 

+ And as far as budget cuts are concerned, yes they were real. Ask the several other people that got laid off at CBS Radio the last couple of weeks if the cuts are real. I was the only one not listed as fulltime at the station because my show is only two hours. And most, in not all, part-time help was let go, including my friend Gump, sadly enough.

 

So, believe what you will. I can only tell you what the truth is.

 

And I'm sure I'll get ripped on here and called all sorts of things. That's what generally happens on message boards. But I'll take that just so the truth is out there.

 

I know how hard the people at the station work to put together a quality show, and there’s a reason why all of our ratings were very high. They are good people. And that, above anything else, is something all of you should know.

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
