Steelers Minority Owner Set to Buy Carolina Panthers: The Carolina Panthers are going to have a new owner in the coming days/weeks, as CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora reported on Friday. David Tepper, a billionaire hedge-fund manager and a Steelers minority owner, is set to purchase the team. The price is set at $2.2 billion, which is less than the $3 billion price tag that present owner Jerry Richardson wanted on the NFL franchise. It is, however, significantly more than the last NFL franchise purchase of $1.1 billion, which was the sale of the Buffalo Bills back in 2014. The sale is pending a vote among the present NFL franchise owners, which is probably a mere formality. (Warning: autoplaying videos in the provided links)

NCAA Coaches, Adidas Executive Face Charges: Across three complaints, two broad schemes were alleged. One involved bribing four assistant coaches -- at Arizona, Auburn, Oklahoma State and Southern California, all programs in the so-called Power 5 conferences of college sports -- to persuade players to send business to certain financial advisers once they turned professional. The other involved efforts to secretly funnel money from Adidas to three players and their families in exchange for the players' commitments to play at two Adidas-sponsored college programs and to later sign sponsorship deals with the company once they turned pro.
A new and a more highly recognized coach to get swept up in this scandal is Louisville's Rick Pitino.

As a Hurricanes fan, I'm very happy with this deal. Noah Hanifin has tremendous upside, but as my more knowledgeable hockey friends tell me, the guy doesn't have much hockey sense. Lindholm is, well, whatever, just meh. Both guys are going to be RFAs and frankly, whatever they're going to get, they won't be earning it.
Who knows, maybe they will both realize their potential one day, but I don't think that's going to happen under Bill Peters. I think the biggest positive impact on the Hurricanes so far this offseason is Peters walking away from the team.

TIL: Sergei Samsonov is still involved in the NHL. He has been in Forwards Development with the Carolina Hurricanes the past four years. Now he's the director of the department. How did I not know this?! Also, he's still only 38.

The coolest part of Eastern NC? In about an hour's drive, you can go from Catfish Hunter's hometown (Hertford) to Buck Leonard's (Rocky Mount, which also happens to be the hometown of Thelonius Monk). I mean, there's some great ideas for memorials, right there.

gotcha
