Unpaid UNC players suspended 4 games for selling sneakers. $7.6 million Urban Meyer suspended 3 games for something much worse. Why are athletes being held to a higher standard than coaches?
Terquavion Smith after the Wolfpack’s win over 16th Miami:
“I feel like other colleges in NC feel like they’re better than us because they wear blue, but I just want people to know that you can come here too…They do the same stuff we do, they just have different courses.
🚨Dawg Alert🚨
“They were trying their absolute best to get in my head, but it didn’t work out for them. So, hopefully they have a safe flight back to Houston.”
Eddy Pineiro on the Texans jumping off-sides numerous times before his game-winning kick.
Owner of The Brickyard said he wanted to put something up to rep the Panthers since neighbors at Tavern on the Tracks had a Bills mural and what better way than pay homage to recently retired Luke Kuechly.
As I was exploring my socials I found a post where a young man (who is reportedly safe) was contemplating suicide. Under it, Matt Corral offered his number to the young man for support. No hooplas, just one human being there for another.

Brian Burns isn't happy the defense didn't shut out New Orleans, but he's still going to celebrate the win by watching "Friday" in his robe while sipping on Hennessy...no ice.
Former Duke player told me there were 3 things that didn’t sit right w/them:
1. Hubert Davis didn’t shake assistants’ hands before game.
2. UNC did nothing to honor K’s retirement.
3. HD didn’t intervene when UNC fans chanted “F*ck Coach K”
All likely led to handshake snub.
“I know exactly how Matt is mentally, right now.”
We’ve seen Baker Mayfield take on somewhat of a mentorship role with rookie Matt Corral. I asked him about that after yesterday’s practice.
30 years ago today, NFL owners unanimously selected the Carolinas as the 29th NFL franchise and the first expansion team since 1976.
Happy Birthday
@Panthers
I’m going to say this, because someone needs to. The way Tar Heel fans have turned on Caleb Love is astounding. I understand the season was a disappointment, but to slander a 21 year old they way I’ve seen him slandered is egregious. UNC’s shortcomings aren’t his fault.
The Panthers agreed to terms Tuesday with Jim Caldwell to become senior assistant.
He'll report directly to head coach Frank Reich and will help the team on offense, defense, and special teams.
Per Release
I asked Tre Boston if he’s seen a change in Cam Newton: I don’t see a change in him, I see a change in what people ask of him...
(Tre spitting knowledge...worth watching)
🎉The Carolina Panthers turn 28 today They were officially established October 26, 1993🎉
In honor of their birthday, share a gif of your favorite Panther of all time.
Looks like Bryce Young, Terrace Marshall Jr, Adam Thielen, DJ Chark and Laviska Shenault are at SMU putting in work today.

I asked Foreman if he wants to return to Carolina and he said he absolutely wants to return, adding that he’s told everyone in the building to “bring me back”
Looks like Cam had a little discussion with Kelvin Benjamin about his comments during pregame. Source tells me it looked kinda heated (which you can tell from the video) with Cam dismissively walking off.
Baker and Corral have become attached. They’ve been walking together to practice and after the first preseason game Matt mentioned how much he’s learning from him. We also saw that in the team’s Training Camp Confidential.
Purdue: 63
NC State: 50
The best story in sports so far this year has come to an end.
The Wolfpack, rightfully so, hold their heads high as they exit the Final Four stage.
DeAndre Hopkins on playing in Carolina:
"It's cool to go back home. The only thing I hate seeing when I go home is old plantations w/ the Hopkins name on it or something. Cause it's like your history right in front of you. So hopefully, one day I can buy all those plantations."
Speaking of Cam, I ran into a source on the plane yesterday who spoke with someone very close to Newton who was very clear that QB1 wants to stay in Carolina. Said he wants to cement his legacy with the Panthers.
Panthers fans are some of the most ride or die. It’s been rough since that Pittsburgh game in 2018. Change in ownership. Revolving door of coaches. Having to defend their team against opposing fan bases.
When the tide changes I hope y’all pop all y’all ish! You deserve it.
