Just spoke to a source inside the
@Panthers
front office re: David Tepper’s position on Cam Newton.
Tepper has apparently made it clear that he prefers a healthy Cam to be his starting QB next season and that their relationship is an extremely positive one.
#KeepPounding
Cam Newton has been hit 1,304 times. That’s 365 more times than any other QB in the NFL.
And he’s played in at least 14 games in each of his 8 seasons.
I don’t want to hear about durability issues. Cam Newton is tough as hell.
#KeepPounding
According to Brock and another listener, David Tepper was upset about Dilworth Neighborhood Grille’s latest message. DNG has posted several messages aimed at Tepper and the Panthers in the past couple of years.
Cam Newton played good football yesterday, and there are still people on this web site blaming him for that loss.
I’m convinced half of y’all don’t watch sports, and the other half doesn’t even like sports.
Hendon Hooker just beat
#1
Alabama and looks like he just might win the Heisman Trophy.
Justin Fuente really had Hooker and Khalil Herbert in the same backfield and couldn’t even win the Coastal.
My baby girl has arrived!
Skye Bailey joined us today at 3:40 PM. Predictably, I’m an emotional wreck at the moment.
And I’ve never been prouder of another person than I am of
@camillembailey
. Just a warrior today.
Thank y’all for the love and support.
I’ll join the outrage chorus… 2 VOTES? Devonte Graham got TWO first place votes as the NBA’s MIP.
Rename it to “Former Lottery Pick Meets Expectations Award."
Cam Newton has had a different starting LT every year since the 2013 season:
Jordan Gross
Byron Bell
Michael Oher
Mike Remmers
Matt Kalil
Chris Clark
Darryl Williams
Anyone shocked that he suddenly looks to be physically breaking down?

As a man who’s supposed to be an ambassador for hockey, you’d think Don Cherry would embrace the
@NHLCanes
bringing more fans to the game. Instead he calls Carolina fans “front runners” and doubles down on his terrible take. I’m no expert, but the
#Canes
are good for
#hockey
.
A league source tells me that before Frank Reich was fired he was approached by the front office about incorporating more RPO plays into his game-plan to suit Bryce Young’s strengths.
Source told me Reich declined, saying it didn’t really fit his offensive system.
The
@Panthers
defense is playing winning football. Zane Gonzalez hasn’t missed a FG in 5 wks (longest active streak of made FGs 40+ yds). Lachlan Edwards averaged 51.3 yds per punt vs. NE
2 of the 3 phases of the game are playing winning football.
Carolina’s offense is anemic.
Perfect fall weather today in Charlotte. Cam Newton is back home where he belongs. Steph Curry’s in town to lose to the
@Hornets
tonight.
Happy Sunday, y’all.
Lane Stadium used to be one of the loudest, scariest places in college football. The Terror Dome. The 3rd longest sellout streak in the nation behind Notre Dame and Nebraska.
Not a place where Duke steals your lunch money on national television. Justin Fuente is in trouble.
After losing their 1st Rd pick and top cover corner to an injury, the
@Panthers
are still looking at a secondary featuring Stephon Gilmore, CJ Henderson, Donte Jackson, and AJ Bouye.
I mean… come on. Well done,
@Panthers
.
The
@Panthers
are 5-5 and back in the playoffs. Now they get to hand the football to a healthy Cam Newton for the next 7 games with real weapons and one of the league’s best defenses.
I’ll buy a ticket for that ride every day of the week.

🚨Programming Alert🚨
My wife is going to tell me live on-air today if we’re having a boy or a girl. Some time around 12:40.
Make your predictions now...
James Bouknight was arrested yesterday. Sources tell me it’s related to a DUI and possible other charges.
Have reached out the
@Hornets
for a statement. Nothing yet.
The world’s worst off-season continues.
we just experienced. Of course we won’t be counting our chickens until we’re holding that little girl in January, but today we celebrate.
Thank you to everyone who covered us with love when we were hurting. We love you all more than you know. It’s a miracle. God is good.
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but the
@Panthers
can absolutely be fine without CMC for a few weeks. Y’all see Tremble, Marshall, and Chuba making plays in the 2nd half? DJ, Robby, Darnold. They’ll be fine.
Career win percentage:
Cam Newton .549
Joe Namath .496
Phillip Rivers .562
Kurt Warner .578
Drew Brees .590
Troy Aikman .570
Frank Tarkenton .532
Warren Moon .502
How many of them were drafted by a 1-15 team? Does context matter to you in the slightest?
So many of us have been screaming this for 6 months, but all of a sudden the national media wants to defend Cam Newton now that he’s no longer in Carolina. 🤷🏻♂️
Regardless of that ending, the
@Panthers
are going to be second guessed nationwide all week for letting Cameron Newton leave their organization. He looked phenomenal tonight.
I wonder if David Tepper realizes how fortunate he is that he didn’t end up in a fight today.
The right person on the wrong day would’ve gone over that wall after him, and Scott Fitterer didn’t look interested in fighting for a man who’s about to fire him.
Jim Harbaugh is in Charlotte today, per source.
Prior reports say Harbaugh has a scheduled in-home visit w/ Wolverines’ QB commit and Providence Day star, Jadyn Davis on Thursday.
Of course his good friend Biff Poggi lives here now.
Maybe a meeting w/ David Tepper too?
@wfnz
So Steve Smith just called into the show and had a LOT to say. Questioned Ron Rivera for both removing the ping pong tables in the
@Redskins
AND for hiring that “weak ass” offensive coordinator (Scott Turner) in DC.
I don’t share much personal stuff on this web site, but I do want to share something with y’all.
6 days ago my wife went in for her 20-week ultrasound, where we found out we are having a baby girl. A few hours later we got a call saying they spotted something in her heart and
A listener just called and suggested the
@Panthers
should package a few picks and trade for TAYSOM HILL to replace Cam Newton.
I’m going to shut our phone lines off for the day...
The
@Panthers
first 3 opponents (NYJ, NO, HOU) are now 5-13 combined.
The last 3 opponents (PHI, MIN, NYG) are 4-13 (7-13 total) against teams other than the Panthers.
What changed? CMC. And that’s not an excuse. If his absence cripples you that much, your offense stinks.
The
@Hornets
just clinched a 40-win season for the first time since 2015-16.
Just the 4th time since the
@NBA
returned to Charlotte in 2004, and two of those were as the Bobcats.
Ejiro Evero is a very, very good football coach. This defense has no business being this salty after all of the attrition. Maybe he should be in charge.
I don't know why so many people are just assuming that it's the end for Cam Newton in Carolina.
It might be. But there are plenty of reasons to believe that it's not.

@wfnz
Kudos to David Tepper, Matt Rhule, & Scott Fitterer for doing what’s right (and smart).
You can’t waste this defense, and they have an obligation to those men in that locker room to give them a chance to win.
Cam Newton, whatever this version looks like, gives them that chance.
The
@Panthers
gave up less to trade for Baker Mayfield than they did to trade up for Matt Corral.
They're paying him less to play QB than they paid Teddy Bridgewater to go away.
Seems like good business to me.
While I understand the argument that a 2-QB system doesn’t allow either QB to get into a rhythm, you know what else doesn’t allow a QB to get into rhythm?
The
@Panthers
pass protection.
The
@Panthers
feel very good about their meeting with Deshaun Watson last night.
They believe they can surround Watson with a better supporting cast than any other team in the mix and pitched accordingly.
No matter what you hear re: other teams, Watson is driving this train.
I still like Kyle Allen. Hope he can shrug this off and keep getting better.
I’m also very much looking forward to the
@Panthers
putting Cam Newton back on the field.
Controversial, I know.
#KeepPounding
All you pro-tank
@Panthers
fans need to chill.
One win won’t keep Carolina from the top pick.
And if it is the start of a miraculous turnaround, there’s really nothing to be mad about.
Go outside, take a breath, and enjoy the weather.
