Florida Panthers Season Tickets Now Start At $7 A Game

A completely acceptable first reaction to this Panthers ticket plan is rage. Rage that you're in one of those hockey markets where all games are sold out, season-ticket waiting lists stretch for years, and going the scalper route can cost about as much as an HDTV, while down in South Florida, they c...

Panthers Lineman Hits Cam Newton With A Fantastic Videobomb

Usually, the mark of a good videobomb is its subtlety, but Panthers lineman Jordan Gross is proof that the art form can also be deployed with a more overt sensibility. Gross's frantic jig was enough to get Cam Newton to forget the question that he had just been asked, so we'll call this videobomb a...

The Florida Panthers Want Broward County To Buy Them A New Scoreboard

The Panthers will appear before the Broward County Commission today, to argue that that the county should spring for $4.2 million to build a new scoreboard. As their neighbors to the south, the Marlins and Dolphins, struggle to win over increasingly skeptical taxpayers, maybe $4.2 million is a littl...

FIU Is Getting A New Court, And It Could Go Horribly Wrong

Florida International hired a new coach this season, a Pitino, and is joining Conference USA in the fall. To go along with the program overhaul, their court will be getting a makeover. These are two of the prospective designs. Maybe Tommy Bahama can get in on a sponsorship deal....

Two Florida Policemen Used Lights, Sirens And May Have Sped To Get Equipment To Five Florida Panthers Call-Ups

Don't think people in Florida are invested in hockey?

What Can You Learn From The Carolina Panthers' Leaked Financials? Ask A Sports Economist

There's still a lot to unpack in the Carolina Panthers' financial statement, which we published Thursday. That document showed the team bringing in $112 million in operating profit over a recent two-year period, one that saw owner Jerry Richardson pleading hardship on behalf of his fellow NFL plutoc...

Leaked NFL Documents: While Owner Cried Hardship, Carolina Panthers Had $112 Million Profit Over Two Years [UPDATE]

In 2010 and 2011, as the NFL prepared for and staged a lockout of its players, Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson was among the hardest of the hardliners, urging his fellow owners to "take back our league" by demanding a more management-friendly collective-bargaining agreement....

Three Good Reasons To Doubt That An Unheralded Receiver Actually Ran A 4.19 40-Yard Dash

Northern Iowa receiver Terrell Sinkfield wowed scouts at the University of Minnesota's pro day on Monday. According to "reports" (more on that later), Sinkfield ran the 40-yard dash in a time of 4.19 seconds. It's easy and tempting to take at face value, because it'd be a wonderful story. A no-name ...

Sanity: The Panthers Aren't Getting Taxpayer Money To Renovate Their 17-Year-Old Stadium

It's an inescapable conclusion at this point, but the NFL doesn't want a team in Los Angeles. A big empty lot, with the potential for a new stadium and team, is far more valuable to the league and the owners as a threat than as an actual franchise. As teams attempt to wring taxpayer money out of the...

The Panthers Want $200 Million In Public Funding To Renovate Their 17-Year-Old Stadium

Bank of America Stadium is a perfectly modern and lovely venue that hosts 10 football games a year. But Panthers owner Jerry Richardson wants more! He wants new escalators! A new video board! Better wi-fi in the stadium! And he wants you—the fan who already pays to attend games—to pay for most of th...

Here's A Perfectly Executed "Miss The Free Throw, Score The Putback" To Send A Game To 3OT

Let's set the scene. A D-III game last night, between No. 2 Amherst and No. 3 Middlebury. The second overtime, and Amherst is down three. Guard Willy Workman tried a desperation three, but he's fouled—only the ref rules the foul came before the shot....

Jerome Lane's Backboard-Smashing Dunk Was 25 Years Ago Today

Like any other 12-year-old in Western Pennsylvania whose favorite television program was any game involving any teams from The Old Big East, I was captivated by Pitt basketball in 1988. But the biggest memory—and biggest regret—I have of Jerome Lane’s dunk is that I missed watching it live....

How The Panthers' Luke Kuechly Salvaged A Seemingly Lost Season

The Panthers played a strange game against the Saints on Sunday. The final score makes it look like a potential classic: The Panthers won 44-38. So does the attached statistical story: Drew Brees cleared 5,000 yards on the season, completing 29 of 43 for 396 and four touchdowns. But then one looks m...
