Co-Host of The Wake Up call & Panthers reporter for 730 The Game ESPN Charlotte, Molly Cotten joins The V Man to discuss her biggest concerns with the Panthers as of today, who she prefers between preseason perfect Joey Slye vs injured Graham Gano, and who she thinks has the most at stake in tomorrows game against Pittsburgh.

In today’s Best Of Segment The V Man shares his discomforts with the NFL scheduling a Thursday night game right after season opener for Carolina. The Panthers 4 day turnaround against the Bucs in week 2 is just one example of why The V Man doesn’t agree with the NFL having Thursday night games. Especially in situations like the Panthers, with Cam’s foot and recent retirements.

Among others, Russel from the mailbag gets the call on today’s Yellow Courtesy Phone. He gets the call from The V Man for ripping Andrew Luck, and his “its a man’s league” comments. He also calls the listeners who are rule followers, bashing the NCAA for not allowing the Brock Hoffman transfer. All that and even another mailbag entry from Kathleen who didn’t think the V Man had it in him to salute women in baseball.

Analyst for MLB.com & host of the statcast podcast, Mike Petriello joins The V Man to talk Braves season, the NL Central race, and why he views the ‘Astros, Dodgers, & Yankees’ as clear top 3 teams.

The V Man gives his prediction on the Antonio Brown blow-ups we’ll see this season, his thoughts on Gronk’s comments about playing again, and why he sees more players retiring in an Andrew Luck fashion. All that and more, right here in the first hour!
