SportsFilter: The Sunday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.
The internet was hot take city among the football experts last night during the CJ Stroud show with "LOL I bet Panthers fans are extra bitter tonight!!! LOLOLOLOL" Why would we be bitter? So, instead of watching Bryce Young get killed by an ineffective o-line and no one to throw to, we could've watched that happen to Stroud instead?

I wouldn't be bitter about Stroud. I'd be concerned about Tepper's apparent urge to fill the void left by Daniel Snyder's expulsion.
Riverboat Ron has worked for both owners. If I were a ghostwriter, I'd be recording and transcribing lengthy discussions with him right now.

Yep, Tempper is the problem down in Charlotte and, unfortunately, the owner is the only non-replacable person in the organization

Does Jerry Jones have Belichick's cell number?

I'm hoping Jerry goes full-bore all-in and names himself Head Coach. If you want a job done right sometimes you gotta do it yourself.

Hopefully, young Noah Eagle isn't hearing a lot of nepo baby bullshit as he climbs the sports announcing ranks. He did well calling the Browns - Texans game.
The kid can do this. And his father Ian Eagle did the radio game call for Westwood One.
Looking over the wild card announcing rosters, the radio teams have it over the TV teams in some instances. Kevin Harlan over Mike Tirico was a no brainer yesterday.
