Carolina sports radio host Chris McClain from WFNZ joined the show. Chris said the Rico Dowdle experience with the Panthers was interesting. He brought up the mix of games that saw Dowdle shine and the others when Dowdle saw his carries go down. Chris said Dowdle runs hard and if he's on a roll, he's hard to stop. Chris said Rico got ‘a little salty' near the end of the season by reposting some things on social media. He believes Dowdle will create a good 1-2 punch with Jaylen Warren. Chris said there were some miscommunication issues. Chris wanted to ask the guys about new Panthers backup QB Kenny Pickett before the call was over.

NFL insiders are reporting that the Steelers are ‘nosing around' the QB market as the Aaron Rodgers saga rolls along. In that same conversation, those guys think Kirk Cousins is a real option for the Steelers if Rodgers decides to retire or play elsewhere.

It feels like it would be a failing grade from most of the fan base if it gets made. Carolina sports radio host Chris McClain from WFNZ joined the show.

For three years, fans of FC Cincinnati and Charlotte FC have disputed which is the true "Queen City". However, that may be where the differences end. Head-to-head results have not resolved anything—both teams have two wins over the other, and both have retooled their attacks and fortified their defenses in order to challenge the beasts of the East. We know of the big addition of Wilfried Zaha atop the attack, but how else has head coach Dean Smith polished the Crown? Can the defense replicate their conference-best performance from 2024? What have the first three matches said about the state of CFC? We talk with Anna about the sea change in the Tar Heel State and Charlotte's progression towards the top.
