The Edge Crew tonight was made up of Fox News’ Derek James & David L from 96.1’s A.M. Mayhem.
Tonight’s Top Topic: What do you think will happen to the Bobcat’s?
The Bobcat’s are for Sale. Cheap! Current owner Bob Johnson paid over $300 million back in 2003 and controls 70% of the team. Forbes magazine puts the team’s worth at $284 million, which is 29th in the NBA.
The first question asked is can the Bobcats move? According to the Mayor the team would have to pay the city in part to reimburse the cost for the statsium, $200 million. After 2010 that amount would drop to $150 million.
Bruce Snyder, Fox Charlotte News Sports Director, came on the Edge and said the team would be better without Bob Johnson. Bruce said the owner is rarely at games or does interviews. Bruce went on to say he would be shocked if the team moved.
David said the cheerleaders beat the Bobcats in practice. (I can imagine a Lingerie Basketball Team in the making!)

A recent study found 1 out of 5 people pee in the pool. They looked at 1000 U.S. adults and 17% admitted letting themselves go in the pool. Even Michael Phelps admitted to doing it last year on the Jimmy Kimmel show. If you are one of the swimmers who have coughs or red, stinging eyes after emerging from the pool then that pool probably was contaminated from people peeing in the pool. It is recommended not to swallow pool water.
