Watching the video attached to the article beginning at 58:00mins, they discuss Panthers vs Texans. They start by sharing "traumatic" experiences they've had with Panthers fans and how they attack you if say something bad about the team or any player. 

it starts with a Marc Sessler's confession and acknowledgement of Josh Norman's great game against Jax.

PS: that huddle thread gets a mention.

I knew there had to be some kind of backlash against the media for going out of their way to trash our entire franchise and players. One analyst a few weeks ago flat out said "the Panthers are a lousy franchise, and they're going to have a lousy season". He was squirming around in his chair and waving his hands around like he was in pain because he had to think about the Panthers. Another major "expert" admitted that he would sometimes force himself into "hate watching" Panther games as a form of torture to let out some anger. I know we're a small market team, and some of our fans are metrosexual and indifferent toward winning, but we have passionate fans as well. We don't want to be told repeatedly that our franchise is garbage, and that we're going to lose to teams like Jaguars. So yes Panthers fans are a little prickly by now.

That was Gregg Rosenthal. He was the guy on far left in the video OP is talking about.  I'm surprised he didn't mention it when everyone else was talking about getting bashed for what they said

    • The difference is that Sanders has the work ethic and does work. Johnny didn't. Bad comp.
    • I explained that I was old school and I realize that others have a different opinion.  Being Deion's son is a bit different.   It suggests that his focus is on the money and not football--It is not just the diamonds--it is the dollar sign on the shirt.  Telling a reporter from the Raiders "I ain't going sixth."  Asking another reporter, "Do you know who my dad is?"  When asked what sets him apart from the others, he said that he is mentally more prepared.  Meanwhile, Dad as recently as March Deion, implied he would advise Shedeur to avoid certain franchises--later to retract that position during an interview with Skip Bayless.  You can't take the fact that he is probably a late first, early second round talent and ignore the fact that his comments, jewelry, $ on his shirts and uniform towels might suggest a feeling of entitlement, a person focused on the return more than the opportunity. As I said very clearly--this is my opinion about one person who was raised as a great player's son and how it might rub some the wrong way.  It comes off as entitled.  Fine if he lives up to it, but to me, it suggests that his mind might not be in the right place.  Perhaps he should be focused on humility, his work ethic, and how he is going to earn it--instead, this comes off as someone who thinks this is his reward.  I am sure that others feel the same way, but if I am the GM, I do not want the circus.  Remember Johnny?  I commented at the time that his money gesture would backfire.  It tells me that his mind was not in the right place.  Same thing.
