EXCLUSIVE: The son of former Carolina Panther Rae Carruth is thriving in Charlotte, 25 years after the shooting of Chancellor Lee Adams’ mother shocked America and sent Carruth to prison. My update on the murder, the miracle and Carruth (now a free man):

BREAKING: The Carolina Panthers have fired Charlie Rock, of the team's communications department, for an insensitive post regarding the murder of Charlie Kirk, a source familiar with the organization's decision tells me. Story to come.

Some progress for Panthers QB Bryce Young: In the first half, his very first pass was intercepted. In the second half, he didn't get picked off until his second pass.

I don't mind this. If anybody has earned the right to do this as an homage -- and that's what I take it as -- it's an NC kid who loved the Panthers growing up.

TODAY is the day for Chancellor Lee Adams, the son of Rae Carruth and Cherica Adams. He will graduate from Vance High School in Charlotte today at 5:30 pm. Here's a bonus photo we didn't use in our original @theobserver piece, plus that story ICYMI: charlotteobserver.com/sports/spt-col…

What Cam Newton said to @JourdanRodrigue wasn't funny. My column on what happened -- & what didn't but should have: charlotteobserver.com/sports/spt-col…

David Tepper will soon hire his 7th head coach, probably in Jan. He only bought the Panthers in 2018. Tepper fires almost everybody at some point, but he hasn't fired the one person most responsible for this long run of chaos: Himself. For @theobserver:
Panthers owner David Tepper fired another head coach. He should fire himself instead

I'm very unhappy w/ the Panthers for getting frozen out of asking a question at the David Tepper press conference. Sat in front row; raised hand high; wasn't called on; protested to no avail. Felt like it was purposeful. Posting yesterday's column here⬇️

Panther owner David Tepper is in crisis. Again. Welcome to Cup-Gate, a perfect example of what I call "InTeptitude." As a former Panthers employee told me: “Dave ran off all of the people who told him the truth.” OK then. I'll tell him. For @theobserver:
Panthers owner David Tepper needs someone to tell him some hard truths. I’ll volunteer

We are all so devastated at The Charlotte Observer but I must report that our beloved colleague Rick Bonnell has suddenly passed away. Rick was a Hornets beat-writing legend, a father, a generous colleague. Honestly, I don’t know what we are going to do.
Rick Bonnell, a Charlotte Observer sports reporter for 33 years, has died

Caught up with Chris Paul tonight - he is in his Winston-Salem hometown promoting his new book “Sixty-One.” Here is CP3 and his reaction on going to the Warriors - he has already talked to Steph Curry.
