Tristan Thompson continues to make news for his questionable decisions on and off the basketball court. The Cleveland Cavaliers center does have a day job aside from his side hustle as a reality show star and two-time baby daddy to Khloe Kardashian.

Brandon Miller Talks Rookie Season With Wes & Walker
After trading away Terry Rozier earlier in the week, it's safe to say that the Hornets are waving the white flag on the 2023-24 season, and a rebuild awaits the team as we get closer to the trade deadline. Charlotte entered the season with faint hopes of competing for a spot in the Play-In Tournament, and that all went sideways after an early rash of injuries took the team out of contention by mid-December.
Joel Berry Discusses the State of the ACC on Mac & Bone
The first month of the ACC season is just about over, as January is drawing close to an end, and the conference is once again turned upside down. North Carolina has emerged as the team to beat, holding a two-game over surprised Florida State, which has overcome an awful non-conference season, to compete at the league's top. The middle of the league is jam-packed with a handful of teams, including Duke who entered the season as the overwhelming favorite to win. Duke isn't the only team to underachieve in the first full month of conference play, so has Miami, coming off a trip to the Final Four, and Clemson, who who seemed poised to break out after barely missing the NCAA Tournament.
Panthers Hire Dave Canales as Franchise’s Tenth Head Coach
The Carolina Panthers have their newest head coach and this time it comes in the form of a division rival’s offensive coordinator. As first reported by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the team has chosen to go with Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Dave Canales after an extensive search. The move comes after two meetings with […]
John McClain: Bobby Slowik Needs Second Year as OC
The Panthers are still searching for their next head coach, and the search heats up this week with multiple candidates set to interview for a second time. One of those guys happens to be Houston Texans offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik, whose season ended after Houston's loss to Baltimore in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs. Slowik's name is a hot one, after the job he did with rookie QB CJ Stroud, who led the league in passing yards per game, along with touchdown-to-interception ratio, something a rookie has never done before.
Draymond Green Explains Why Kevin Durant Isn’t In The NBA GOAT Conversation, Social Media Debates
Draymond Green may have just been reinstated for his latest on-court assault, but he’s once again choosing violence.

Hornets trade Terry Rozier to Heat for Kyle Lowry
According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Charlotte Hornets are trading guard Terry Rozier to the Miami Heat in return for Kyle Lowry and a 2027 first-round pick. This season, Rozier is averaging 23.2 points, 6.6 assists, and a 45.9% field goal percentage, all career bests. There were several rumors in recent weeks about a possible trade […]
Joe Goodberry Talks Brian Callahan With Wes & Walker
For the second straight off-season, Dave Tepper is searching for another head coach, after he fired Frank Reich in mid-November. After the season came to an end, Tepper then fired GM Scott Fitterer, meaning both positions were open at the same time for the first time under Tepper. Tepper has cast a wide-ranging coaching search, with the help of a search firm, but has stayed away from the likes of Bill Belichick, Mike Vrabel, and Jimi Harbaugh. Panther fans can draw their own conclusions from that, but it's hard to imagine those coaches being interested in working for arguably the worst owner in the NFL. From the moment the job became available, Tepper had his work cut out for him, and he's learning that this winter.
Greg Auman Talks NFC South Coaching Carousel
The Carolina Panthers aren't the only NFC South team looking for a new head coach, so are the Atlanta Falcons, after they fired Arthur Smith after their regular season came to an end. Todd Bowles is believed to be safe in Tampa Bay, after guiding the Bucs to the divisional round of the NFL Playoffs, and New Orleans has already announced that Dennis Allen will be back for 2024.
Panthers In the Midst of Second Round of Interviews to Fill Vacancies
The Carolina Panthers have entered the second phase of their searches, as they get set to host in-person meetings with the remaining coaching candidates after conducting the second round of general manager interviews last week. Three head coaching candidates are confirmed to receive second interviews with the team, with defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero leading things […]
Doug Branson Previews Hornets Trade Deadline Options
At 8-29, the Hornets are set to be sellers and not buyers at the upcoming NBA trade deadline next month. When the season started, it was reasonable to believe the team could be in a better situation at the trade deadline and could've been buyers, to ensure themselves as a playoff team in the Eastern Conference.

It feels like old times in the ACC, with all Big Four schools atop the standings, headlined by an undefeated North Carolina team, ranked in the top 5 of this week's AP Poll.
