Since launching BBR in April, I’ve repeated my intentions to develop the site deliberately. It’s not going to be a 0 to 60 thing. Lots of patience is required to build something like this into the outlet I believe it can be.Over the last few months, I’ve talked with a handful of potential contributors, sponsors, and partners. While much won’t be ironed out until after the season, I can reveal the start of a new partnership today.Twice a week, I’ll be posting Panthers-related content at Charlotte Magazine for ‘Black and Blue Review 2.’ You’ll be able to find excerpts and links to all posts here on BBR.The folks at Charlotte Magazine don’t believe in click-baiting, and they’ve also seen a desire for more digitally forward Panthers coverage that also provides context.There’s no telling where this path will ultimately lead, but hopefully it’s another step in the right direction for coverage-hungry Panthers fans.
Hardy’s a Storyline, But He Shouldn’t Be the Biggest Story Sunday Night[gap size=”6px”]
Two days before the Panthers’ Sunday night matchup with the Steelers, Bank of America Stadium has morphed into an NBC compound. The network uses six large satellite trucks to beam the prime-time broadcast out to the world, three more than a typical Sunday afternoon game on either FOX or CBS.
Just imagine if the Greg Hardy situation hadn’t been temporarily decided on Wednesday. Think about how the defensive end’s domestic violence case would have enveloped anything else. Picture host Bob Costas, who occasionally turns his platform into a pulpit, piling on the Panthers during a halftime screed.
