An Adam Vinatieri 41-yard field goal was all that stood in the way of the Carolina Panthers having a chance to go to overtime and win their first Super Bowl just eight years into their existence as a franchise. Now, 20 years later, the run is what people remember more than the heartbreak they felt […]

Later tonight, the greatest rivalry in sports renews itself, as #3 North Carolina, hosts #7 Duke in the first of two meetings between the best teams in the ACC, and two teams more than capable of winning a national championship. Over the years the rivalry has been defined by moments, most recently, Caleb Love's three-pointer that proved to be the dagger in a win over the Blue Devils in the Final Four, which officially retired Coach K, after a legendary run in Durham. 

Dave Canales’ hired four members to his first staff as a head coach on Tuesday afternoon. Tampa Bay assistant head coach/run game coordinator Harold Goodwin will follow Canales over in the same role and Joe Gilbert will do the same and take over as the team’s offensive line coach. Meanwhile, the team will also bring […]

The new era of Carolina Panthers football is here with the hire of Dave Canales being finalized last week. Since David Tepper bought the team, this is his third hire in under a decade, as he's struggled to establish the winning organization he promised when he bought the team. A couple of people who know all about what it takes to win in the NFL, and experienced winning in Carolina, are Ron Rivera, and Greg Olsen. Rivera, the former coach of the Panthers, helped the team win three straight division titles and appeared in Super Bowl 50. Olsen, a favorite target of Cam Newton, was on that Super Bowl team and knows what it's like to be a part of a winning locker room. Both guys took time today to join the Wes & Walker Show earlier on WFNZ. 

The stories of dysfunction from within the Panthers organization seem to be never ending and the latest that was revealed this weekend might be the most salacious yet. Tony Pauline, the consulting editor and NFL Draft Analyst for Sportskeeda, reported over the weekend that Panthers owner David Tepper had “more than a few” in the […]

After trading away Terry Rozier earlier in the week, it's safe to say that the Hornets are waving the white flag on the 2023-24 season, and a rebuild awaits the team as we get closer to the trade deadline. Charlotte entered the season with faint hopes of competing for a spot in the Play-In Tournament, and that all went sideways after an early rash of injuries took the team out of contention by mid-December. 

The Carolina Panthers are officially one day into the Dave Canales era and the opinions are all over the board on the decision. Some are excited about the thought of a guy who has been heavily involved in the rejuvenation of the careers of both Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield in the last two years […]

The Carolina Panthers have their newest head coach and this time it comes in the form of a division rival’s offensive coordinator. As first reported by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the team has chosen to go with Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Dave Canales after an extensive search. The move comes after two meetings with […]

The Panthers are still searching for their next head coach, and the search heats up this week with multiple candidates set to interview for a second time. One of those guys happens to be Houston Texans offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik, whose season ended after Houston's loss to Baltimore in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs. Slowik's name is a hot one, after the job he did with rookie QB CJ Stroud, who led the league in passing yards per game, along with touchdown-to-interception ratio, something a rookie has never done before. 

The Panthers made news on Monday evening as they announced that Dan Morgan will be the new GM and President of Football Operations and Joe Person of The Athletic joined Kyle Bailey to discuss the hiring, and how this impacts the search for a HC. Joe started by reacting to the hire of Dan Morgan […]
