rivera closes practice to media...

[Vampire the buffet slayer]

Gantt sounds butt hurt. His tweets sound like a girl who is justifing being dumped, you know the old " I didnt wanna be with him anyways, he had too much money and it hurt during sex.''

[Kevin Greene]

Good fug the media. As a fan I don't need coverage as much as I need my franchise QB focusing on becoming the leader of the team and just the team in general focusing on their job. I love this decision, get rid of the distractions.

Aye

Panther coverage by the media is pathetic anyway.

Focus is good, we don't need more tattoo and haircut BS.

[Proudiddy]

I just want them to look like a team.

I've watched more than a few series of all the preseason games on NFL Network.

The only team that looks worse than the Panthers is the 49ers.

A new system, understandable, not being able to block and tackle, not understandable.

I was gonna post this in the Arizona thread, but I expect us to have our roughest time starting out and if we get some wins early, there will be a good deal of luck on our side.

But, I fully expect us to start to gel a bit more and look A LOT better as we get further into the season and everyone starts to understand their roles and the concepts of the new schemes more and more. We'll be fine, I just want to see that progress ASAP!

Finally, now the coaches can get to business. No more bull$hit and fluff to look good for the media. 20 bucks rivera makes jimmy cry

Bs and fluff to look good for the media? We're talking about practice. Practice. Not a game. Practice.

Fox probably didn't care that the media saw what he was doing anyway..everyone in the league knew what his gameplans were every week.

<why they care> But, if Rivera closes practice to the media, won't that hurt their stature, influence, and marketability, and make their jobs harder? </why they care>

For example, how much good is Steve Reed to WFNZ if he can't get into practices?

I neither support, nor disapprove Rivera's decision.

What difference does it make to Darin Gantt or Bill Voth? Gantt isn't a Panther reporter anymore and Bill Voth is leaving Channel 9 or already has very soon.

Darin Gantt needs to let it go. He was fired from reporting on the Panthers. He's like that guy that graduates from high school or college and creepily keeps hanging around the next year.

Wooderson: That's what I love about these high school girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age.

lol. Exactly how I picture him

[bleys]

the media is a lot like sandy pussy around here.. they say stupid poo and then cry about having civil rights when called out.

[footballisasport]

I'm from the old school of sports reporting. Today's writers and reports seem to make everything more about them than they are about the welfare of the team and players.

Rivera is right. Way to much distraction.

[CRA]

Every team in the NFL does this.....and their reporters do there jobs just fine...

It is what it is.
