This is for the 2023 season, by the way. ESPN+ is currently $60/year... or different monthly packages that could range up to $20/month (your mileage may vary). No word on whether football would be an extra price or not. Thursday night games go to Amazon Prime for out-of-market games; stay on local TV if they're local teams per usual process.

Looks like Sunday Ticket on DirecTV is dead. New home: ESPN+ More info to come. Congrats to Disney for this one -- they found a way to get money from the cord-cutters who stopped paying the cable ESPN fee.

Seen on https://www.eonline.com/news/1230123/naya-rivera-s-ex-ryan-dorsey-praises-strong-and-brave-son-josey It doesn't take much to actually, you know, have an editor REVIEW your news story before you post it.

As we're almost hitting the 30 year mark ourselves, perhaps it's worthwhile to note that some NFL teams were perennial laughing stocks of the entire league for years and years before finding success to stay in the Top Five (or Top Ten). We've been relatively lucky in having a minimum of horrible seasons among the larger number of mediocre and fantastic runs. Have the Panthers ever been referred to as a "laughing stock" or a given Easy Win outside of singular seasons? I don't recall that being the case, but I could be wrong. Those monikers have certainly been applied to a number of other teams we know... If memory serves me correctly, we've been typically in the Top Half of NFL rankings the vast majority of our years, so not nearly as horrible as another team that joined the league in the mid 90's has been over the same timeframe... A reminder talking about how horrible the Patriots used to be: https://samuelburleigh.medium.com/when-the-patriots-were-nfl-s-laughingstock-a-look-back-on-the-pre-brady-patriots-61415e4e1ba4

Random Q - do you ever find your amazing photos stolen by news organizations who don't give you the $$ or credit? (there's a story from this past weekend about a photo the NYPost paid for being lifted off that site by CBS Radio and CBS TV and used without credit -- the photog is suing CBS for damages up to $150k per work, plus attorney's fees.... along with infringement cost of $2500 per work up to $25k for the lack of credit)

Tell me again that story about how the Panthers "haven't played any good teams" this season.

I've paced back and forth in front of the TV during the first half, my Fitbit shows that *I* have more yards than the Cardinals do

Waiting for the inevitable "This is Cam, be like Cam" meme to come out...

Too many peeps injured in 1st half. We need folks to Step Up more than ever for 3Q/4Q.

They're running out of kids to give TD balls to. This is a good problem to have.

Unfortunate caption, @Jeremy Igo? I'm sure ESPN didn't do it on purpose. (as seen during ESPN segment on Las Panteras de Carolina)

Not just the Carolina schools: . . . .

did anyone post video of RR getting Gatorade'd?

trust me, happy happy happy happy sweet caroline, etc etc.

Watching Cam's post-game interview, you could tell that he REALLY wanted that 16-0. He winced when he was asked about 15-1. But the real funked up stuff was on the video board behind him. Why are NFL players trading their jerseys on the field with each other this year? Really ticks me off. (go ahead and to that stuff behind-the-scenes)

(halftime question) Did ESPN air any Panthers footage during their 10a-12p NFL Pregame? Thought they filmed some stuff this week with Ditka?

Good for Finnegan to pull Norman away. Norman's going to get us in trouble one of these days

If you're referring to this Grammy Award, then likely so:

mmmmm, I don't know. This may or may not be true. I looked in the Northside Hospital baby registry and didn't see "15" listed.

Well, MY best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with a girl who saw Cam pass out ice cream cones at 31 Flavors in Atlanta over Christmas. I guess it's pretty serious.

True - as someone who can't easily obtain tix via normal means, it's sad to hear about so many seats being avail. That said... From what I understand, a stadium of people yelling (max decibel is 110-120db for a single human voice) will be louder than a stadium of seat bangers (a large drum designed for max loudness maxes at around 105db). As the BoA seats aren't designed to produce much sound when banged, it would appear that seat banging can only hurt your hand, damage the seat, and put your vocal output at a disadvantage vs if you were to only yell instead of yell+bang. ("Yell+Bang" is my new punk rock cover band)

A fan is a fan, no matter where they came from. If they start as a bandwagon fan, it's our job (and the team's job) to convert them to more permanent status. Truth - many of today's hard core Panthers fans started out as fans of other teams, peeked over at what was going on at BoA (or Ericsson) liked what they saw and decided to stick around. More of this, please.

That shot of the Sunday Giveaway on http://carolinahuddle.com/gameday/2015/12/28/carolina-panthers-at-atlanta-falcons/2/ is FANtastic. I'm sure the proud parents would love a copy of that, at appropriate $$ of course.
