After joke at Panthers game, 'Catman' to get truck

Greg Good, the Carolina Panthers fan who dresses up as "Catman" at home games, will receive a new pickup truck from Fox Sports after an on-air practical joke during a preseason game went awry.

So this isn't the first time a Charlotte-based team tried to pull some shit. Worst part is, even in 2006 everyone knew who Catman was.

Edit, I guess this was more on Fox than the Panthers but, yeah not cool.

So can't score and can't defend. Sounds like me. I will take a 5 year $125 million contract today please.

My friend knew George Shinn back in the day.

Early 1990s before he went off the deep end…

I dunno man. Can't score from anywhere and the defense is worse than you'd assume? Sounds a lot like the Canes over the past month.

Wizards have 4 wins, 2 against the Hornets.

Can't be mad because it's the Hornets but good lord, new owners and new coaches and yet, same shit.



Yeah, just delete franchise and start anew.

And yet, as dysfunctional as the Hornets are, the Sacramento Kings always find a way to one up them. This guy took that godawful franchise to their only playoff appearance since 2006 2 years ago.

As someone who rarely watches basketball but when I do i watch the Cavs Mike Brown is the best coach at riding coattails of superstars you can find. Can he coach a team to play above their talent level? Absolutely not. Can he coach a group of guys to play a strong team game? Not a chance. But if you have players like prime LeBron James and Kyrie Irving and you give him 4 shots, he just might luck up into one championship.

I mean, you may be right but it's not Sacramento has tons of talent. Fox and Sabonis are the two best players and they're decent but you're not winning a title with them. Hell he got a career year out of Malik Monk who did next to nothing in Charlotte.

Ranadive (the owner) saved that franchise from Seattle and got the new building they desperately needed but he's been a disaster except for the one playoff season. He's honestly lucky the Demarcus Cousins trade didn't work out for New Orleans because if it did, that would have been one of the worst returns ever.
