The Panthers are not moving to L.A.

    Saw the story in the Charlotte Business Journal in which Charlotte Chamber president Bob Morgan talked about the possibility of the Carolina Panthers leaving Charlotte for Los Angeles.

     "That reality scares the hell out of me," Morgan said.

     Some people get out of bed in the morning looking for a reason to be scared.

      The Panthers are owned by Jerry Richardson, who was born in N.C., attended college in S.C., began his restaurant business in S.C., and lives in Charlotte. The team is his legacy, and his legacy is not in California.

       Richardson is 76 and underwent a heart transplant. The story says Richardson has not announced a plan for a successor, and he hasn't.

        I talked to him a few years ago about his succession plan.

        "Do you know who will take the team over when you finish?" I asked.

        "Yes," he said.

        "Who?" I asked.

        "Yes," he said.

         The NFL is by far the most popular entity in U.S. sports, and I understand the concern about Charlotte and the Carolinas no longer being part of it.

         But scared?

          The only place the Panthers are going is Philadelphia. That's where they play their next road game.

@OMABAin'12 - or what ever your real name is, your comment about the Panthers only having (2) winning seasons, just gave your IQ and age away.. Panthers have had (3) playoff runs, and 8-8 season and a 7-9 season (that could have been a playoff season if they had won the last game and gone 8-8)... let's count how many winning seasons, KC, Buffalo, Dallas (last Playoff season with a win was 1995 aprox).. Panthers have had more playoff wins since 1995 then Dallas "America's team"..

@Amos - San Diego is playing in a stadium built in 1960 aprox, fans have turned down new stadium requests, even when the Chargers were winning. Jax, can't sell 50,000 seats in a stadium that holds 65,000 seats, so they have to throw tarps over the empty seats to make the stadium look full on game day. They have been on the blackout status list on local TV since 2000. St Louis Rams, are losing more money then they are making from the NFL TV rights, stadium is falling apart, fans are not supporting the team. Buffalo hasn't had back to back winning seasons since their 4 superbowl seasons, which was close to 20 years ago.. So there are plenty of teams that will move to Calif with all those losing teams there (being sarcastic)..
