I, too, hope he gets scooped up by another outlet and goes back to writing/tweeting/mock drafting re: the Panthers, and in a hurry. Is April 28th an...

    Darin Gantt leaving NFL beat?

    A moot point anyway, as the Triangle's main paper (the News and Observer) and Charlotte's main paper (the Charlotte Observer) went to a universal sports desk, I believe, a year or three ago. Duke/UNC/State/Hurricanes and Panthers/Bobcats/NASCAR coverage are exchanged back and forth between the...

    Darin Gantt leaving NFL beat?

    that's a shame. 18 years of institutional knowledge of the Panthers being put to work on the Winthrop University beat.

    Darin Gantt leaving NFL beat?

    If so, he's going to have to take on a much greater role than he's had so far in order to match Gantt's output. Not saying he can't, it just seems like they're fixing something that ain't broke simply because Gantt's checks say "Herald" on them instead of "Observer". Although I would suspect...

    Quote of your career...

    this one happened to my SE, but i was in the office. Coach calls to report his prep basketball team's score. They lost, yet again. Pays lip service to his opponent. "They're a well-coached team," he says. "That's what we hope to be someday."

    When to start sending resumes

    Two questions: 1. The internet sites sound great and all (even if they're fanboy sites, to me they're still better than going into PR or sports info), but where do you find those jobs? They're seldom posted on this site, and the ones I've looked into haven't even been lucrative enough to...
