One of the benefits of going away for training camp was missing for the this year.
That put Panthers coach Ron Rivera in the unusual position of complaining that it wasn’t quite hot enough for his tastes.
“There’s a toughness that gets built out of practicing in the heat, and we didn’t have enough of it, in my opinion,” Rivera said, via Black and Blue Review. “So hopefully we can get a real good shot of heat in the next week or so.”
Local weather guru Brad Panovich of WCNC had the numbers to back it up, saying this was the coolest Panthers camp ever, in their 20 years of business.
Coupled with the CBA-mandated days off and no two-a-days, it had a leisurely feel to it, to say the least.
The good news for Rivera and my tomato plants is that it’s supposed to clear up and warm up in Charlotte, so he might get his guys to break a sweat.
