Not What You Think

Well, Chris still hasn't eaten his Habanero pepper and we love when news drops on the days we're in studio, even if it's not exactly "breaking". Today, #Panthers fans learned the interim tag would be pulled from General Manager Marty Hurney making him the official GM of the Panthers for the 2018 season. We discuss the expected move and the many tough decisions already on his plate, as well as the final question the team needs to answer...who will follow Jerry Richardson as the second owner of the Carolina Panthers?

Back at it this week with Chris and Bobby to discuss the never ending NFL season. We recap all the Super Bowl 52 takeaways and hot-ish takes, the latest in NFL coaching shake ups and also get to the latest shocking development in the Panthers GM search.  Oh yeah, and it's officially Anquan Boldin Free Agent watch SZN.

Sorry we went a little over this week to fit in our official Madden Sim plus Josh Klein from the Riot Report and Dave Archibald from Inside the Pylon join us this week leading up to the big game. Josh drops by with a special announcement for 2018, some hard hitting Pro Bowl analysis and the recent challenge issued to him and Chris this week, while Dave helps explain what the Patriots need to do Sunday to win another Lombardi and what it was about the Week 4 loss to the #Panthers that turned their season around. Check out who took down this year's Madden SIM and more in our last episode of the 2017-2018 football season.

Following Vince McMahon’s announcement of the XFL return in 2020 today, Denn, Chris and Bobby break it all down with initial thoughts along with the top questions that still need to be answered.

Back in the new studio this week (finally) to talk about the biggest game of the NFL season this Sunday...and I guess we'll talk about the Super Bowl a little bit too. Chris and Bobby are both in the house to talk the latest in #Panthers coaching moves, Cam Newton's injury / concussion protocol investigation, some more infuriating work by NFL referees on Sunday and which free agents Marty Hurney needs to hold on to.

I gotta say, there's nothing better than getting to witness some of the greatest plays in NFL history happen AGAINST the Saints. Chris (@PeppaJackNBB) joins me this week to tackle the crazy Divisional Round weekend that was, Chris picked the wrong week to take a Twitter vacation and we catch up with our dude Billy Marshall (@BillyM_91) to talk about the Draft, his opinion of Norv Turner, his work at Cat Scratch Reader and applaud a little gift he sent to Cam Jordan. #Panthers #Vikings #Saints #Patriots #Jaguars #Eagles

Welp...it's put up or shut up this week in New Orleans for the 2017 Panthers. Is third time really a charm? Will Cam and the offense bounce back? Will Jonathan Stewart play? Will the officials actually call penalties? We have so many questions!  Chris, Bobby and I break down Wild Card weekend, check our Bold Predictions and more this week as the #Panthers prepare for their biggest matchup of the year.

Chris and Bobby, (neither of which have seen the movie The Departed somehow?) are both back in the house this week to cover the last two (yes two!) weeks of #Panthers mayhem. We discuss how this team can function in playoff football down yet another wide receiver, upcoming NFC playoff scenarios, MVPs vs Most Valuable Players, the Best Stories of 2017 and much more as another NFL regular season comes to a close.

Crazy week for everyone, but we were able to squeeze in a short one to talk about the #Panthers HUGE win over the Minnesota Vikings. It's crazy to think this team still might have to win out to make the playoffs, so buckle up. We also talked Josh Norman, sore losers, the NFC playoff race, Aaron Rodgers and more! (Note: Podcast recorded Tuesday night when Rodgers news had not been confirmed)

Getting swept by the Saints is never a fun episode, but luckily Bobby isn't afraid to speak his mind on this one. We expressed frustrations of watching the #Panthers beat themselves again on Sunday, discuss what has happened to the Panthers defense in just a few weeks, take on some NFL double standard takes, give our thoughts on the ugly game in Cincinnati and more this week. Oh...and just 4 days later...Go Saints?

Who will be Cam's #2 WR for the Panthers to make a run this season? The extra point / punt return discussions are back, a CMC bet is made and more as we're talking #Panthers / #Saints, NFL Week 12 and Week 13 picks with @TacosNSlurpees & @PeppaJackNBB!

The Panthers are 7-3 heading into the Bye week and what better time for some friends to come together and talk about your Carolina Panthers! Keith, Jayme and Ashlyn from the Roaring Riot Podcast were joined by our friends JCoxRocks and AppGrad from the Panthers Reddit Podcast, Denn from the Keep PounDENN Podcast and Master Splinter from the Panthers PoundCast! Sit back, relax and enjoy what we’re buying/selling, we visit the Panthers Reddit mailbag, reveal our Nostra-Dumbass Bold Prediction awards and hand out our Game Balls and Towels of Shame awards for the first 10 games of the season.

Will Brinson (CBS Sr. NFL Writer & Co-Host of the Pick 6 Podcast) joins us this week to talk Panthers mid season awards, eating Ws, the 280 character crisis, Turkey Holes and much more as the #Panthers get ready to take on the Dolphins on Monday Night Football.

This week, Jon Stout of WRAL/Panthers Blitz Podcast joins us to talk the implications of the Kelvin Benjamin trade, a look ahead to the first Falcons game of the season, we review the rest of the trades around the league & much more. I'm also definitely still complaining about Boldin and haven't learned much about Star Wars. You can find more of Jon's work at: @JonStout89 and @WRALSportsFan on Twitter and at www.WRAL.com

What's a week in Panther Nation without some Cam controversy? Back this week with Chris and the Commish to discuss Cam cutting another presser short, Christian McCaffrey is still not a bust, whatever the hell that was last Sunday and an interesting week in #Panthers roster moves. All that, our Week 8 picks against the spread and more in our 69th episode which Gronk will probably find hilarious.
