re-assinged is putting it nicely.

[Proudiddy]

Couldn't DG create his own blog exclusively for Panther's coverage and still have access?

Then again, no one would be paying him then... This is gonna suck.

[Mr. Scot]

Holy cow! This is about the last thing I would have expected to be reading today.

I've had the chance to correspond with Gantt a few times and he was always nice. I get that he wasn't everyone's cup of tea, but I always considered him the best beat writer covering the Panthers.

Like everyone else, I'd love to know what's behind this. Might be one of those things where we'll never know exactly what really happened. The 'why' aside though, the 'what' absolutely sucks :(

might have a non compete agreement in his contract.

Gantt has some Maverick tendencies, so I wonder if he pissed off the wrong person.

[KillerKat]

o well

[CatMan72]

I gotta think there's more to this story then just finances... suspect the Panthers had a hand in it.

[Snake]

This mean the Carolina panthers have no beat reporter.

Fiz does have an entire thread on the suspected reasons behind the reasons on Gantt's re-purposing.
