Speculating/hopefully on my part. Haven't seen if they plan to appeal.

you were correct.
NFL appealing Watson's six-game suspension
The NFL said commissioner Roger Goodell will determine who will hear the appeal. Under the CBA, Goodell has the option to consider the appeal himself or can appoint a designee to do so.

Note to self, prepare to buy lottery tickets after the appeal result is announced. And hope the jackpot climbs again.you were correct.

As a Browns fan who has denounced the team because of Watson, I am seeking a new team to cheer for. Debating on jumping on the Panthers bandwagon since Baker was shipped here and because of the Canes connection. As Panther fans, is this a terrible idea? Is there nothing but misery and sadness ahead if I take this course? Do you get used to the awful color of teal after a while?

Of course there's nothing but misery and sadness. You'll feel right at home.
Unsustainable
Seth Jarvis is Elite
Just pull a John Madden.
When you have 2 good football teams playing, you have a good football game.

I mean, Tepper's a meddling arrogant asshat of the highest order, but he hasn't brought in anyone with a reputation of Watson that I can recall. So if you're looking for a group that is going to be well run with a high potential for success, I'd look elsewhere. If you're looking for a group where annoyance at the teams ownership is the order of the day but otherwise it's a pretty good time in the MST3K sense, welcome aboard.

Am I misremembering, or were the Panthers not one of the handful of teams that were thought to be serious suitors for Watson?

don't even remember at this point. legitimately haven't followed the league closely in a long time and most rumors feel like clickbait bullshit anymore.

Yep, your memory is correct. Reportedly they were. It’s wrong to assume any professional sports team is more concerned about morals than winning.

No they're going to be awesome this year. Also Matt Rhule is a great coach and Tepper a GOAT of all time owner.

I'm going to try and make this short and sweet, the Carolina Panthers are probably up there with the Atlanta Hawks as the most average sports franchise in North America. I say average and not mediocre because they do have 1 really elite season, a Cinderella Super Bowl run, and some decent seasons. So there is some resemblance of relevance here despite no Lombardi trophy.
But also, for the average person not from here, I'm really not sure why anyone would be a Panthers fan. Aside from the franchise itself, the atmosphere at games is pretty bland as is Bank of America Stadium. Look I've actually been to a Browns game (In December when they were like 2-12 or something) and I was blown away by the passion and enthusiasm that simply only exists here once every 10 years.
I mean, right now if I had to guess, they might squeak into a wild-card spot this upcoming season but in reality they will probably go 7-9 like usual and may or may not be searching for a new coaching staff.
So many mights and maybes and averages - and bland, you say! IN!!

Hey what's up with these big puffy things around the goddamned helmets? I assume concussion reducers? Just for practice or for games too?

Lets check in on the New York Giants
Oh. Well. Good luck New York!
Yes. I think. I guess. I'm not sure.

Probably good for the Colts that their O-line is a little salty.

Genuinely might be a good idea. Players would be more careful about the hits they deliver and I've seen some studies that say the sport would likely be a little safer with far fewer concussions.

In case it wasn't clear enough that Dave Gettleman was a poor GM.

the worst part of being a Panthers fan post 2015 up until the Rhule era was the sheer amount of idiot Panther fans that fellated this guy 24/7. "Gettlemagic" "Hawg mollies"
He literally inherited almost every impact player for the Panthers and then proceeded to f*** everything up and somehow got an even more high profile job in the process. f*** that guy.
11 games for Watson
Another Browns season down the drain lol
Also, f*** the NFL
