Charlotte...Not a football city?

[CatMan72]

A Charlotte resident who also played in 185 consecutive games, has a nice bust in the Hall of Fame, and has been involved in with the NFL for what...almost 40 years now. I am pretty sure he is more qualified to know what a football city is than most.

 

Good for him, so how does he explain 100+ consecutive sell out games in a non-football city? 

 

It's also important to keep in mind that we wouldn't have a team or a stadium if folks in this non-football city were not willing to plunk down money for PSL's. Did the residents of Cleveland and Buffalo have to make a significant direct investment to get a team?

Joe just got a few too many head-slaps in his career.

That's debatable.

At least you were one of the Ohioites smart enough to get out of that Godforsaken place. Kudos to you for doing it before Lebron made it cool.

Raised on Dean Smith and Bobby Knight as the best coaches of all time. Intelligence and discipline. Both were and are kings. ACC and Big Ten. Good battles, and they continue year in and year out.

I'm a football man. Can't debate the bball. I'll concede that. Lebron can take his talents wherever the $ flows, or to a college of higher institution where they make up classes and provide passing grades to the athletes that attend those made up classes to ensure their team gets bounced in the early rounds of the NCAA tourney each year. I really couldn't care less.

Sure does sound like you care.

just a FYI - tomorrow night on WBTV (CBS) at 11pm - there is a segment on Joe and his possible CTE, brain injuries, etc.
