Putrid Panthers, Tez Walker and Coach K speaks in the sports moments of the week

The internet is a big place. Unless you're 100% plugged in all the time (and let's be clear, that is NOT recommended), you're going to miss some stuff.

Let us do that work. You can be a well-adjusted human being and still catch all the best sports moments of the week, with a quick review ...

Five games into the NFL season, the Carolina Panthers lead the NFL in exactly two categories -- losses and bad vibes.

The Panthers dropped to 0-5 with a 42-24 loss in Detroit on Sunday. Their struggles seemed to be perfectly encapsulated by one play in particular.

In the first quarter, Bryce Young tried to set up a screen pass to tight end Ian Thomas, but threw an interception to a Lions defensive lineman instead!

It was an embarrassing mistake during an embarrassing game for Carolina, but the fun doesn't stop there.

You may have noticed that, even though the Panthers were trailing the entire game and had to attempt 41 passes, wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. didn't see the field at all versus Detroit. Zero snaps.

With Marshall coming off a career-high 9 catches in Week 4, you might assume that his lack of playing time was due to injury or maybe even disciplinary reasons.

Nope.

Perfectly healthy. No super-secret punishment. Head coach Frank Reich just forgot to put him in.

Now, if we're being kind to coach Reich, you could say that the man simply has too much on his plate.

Maybe he's stressed out about coaching a bad team.

Maybe he's stressed out because he refuses to give up play calling duties.

It's not too hard to read between the lines there, so let's go with "all of the above." What a mess.

It could have simply been a nice moment to let bygones be bygones, but we're talking about the NCAA here. They can't help themselves.

"NCAA staff received new information regarding University of North Carolina student-athlete Tez Walker this week. Staff determined the new information qualifies Walker for a transfer waiver. The information had not been made available by UNC previously, despite the school's multiple chances to do so."

Ok, so natural follow-up question... What was the new information?

The NCAA didn't say for some reason, so we can only speculate.

Again, just speculating.

The Carolina Hurricanes carry some lofty goals as they get set to open the regular season on Wednesday night.

The Canes are trying to capture their fourth consecutive division title, sixth consecutive playoff berth and, most importantly, the franchise's second Stanley Cup.

Fortunately, a certain local basketball coach knows a thing or two about great expectations.

Trade demands have become almost commonplace in the NBA, but they're usually only from star players like Kevin Durant or Damian Lillard. You know, guys that would have some leverage in negotiations.

However, Jones has averaged less than 3 points and 2 rebounds per game during his NBA career -- not exactly the profile of somebody who should be making such a demand.

What's worse, Jones may have subjected himself to a fine or suspension by publicly requesting a trade, which is illegal under the NBA's current Collective Bargaining Agreement.

The internet has obviously made some jokes at Jones' expense, but the more you dig in to this story, the less funny it becomes.

Scott Fowler of the Charlotte Observer has also reported that the team is "concerned" about Jones, who has been erratic on social media this offseason.

Hopefully, the 22-year old can find some stability no matter where he goes next, and find a way to reach his considerable potential.

The Denver Broncos of the NFL wore new uniforms Sunday, complete with throwback helmets.

In case you're curious, Denver's "D" logo dates back to 1970, while the Bulls didn't use their current version until 1980.

But who needs facts? The Bulls logo is clearly superior, right?

Football fans love to get mad at coaches for a lot of things, but the two that seem most popular are play calling and clock management.

If that sounds like you (it's ok, you can admit it), you may want to take a deep breath because this is an all-timer.

Undefeated Miami had victory in their hands Saturday night against Georgia Tech.

The Hurricanes had the ball, up by three with 34 seconds to play. Georgia Tech had no timeouts, so a simple kneel down would have ended the game.

It's simple math. Football 101 type stuff.

But not for Miami head coach Mario Cristobal, who decided to run the ball instead.

The Hurricanes fumbled that final carry. It was recovered by the Yellow Jackets with 26 seconds left, setting the stage for a last-second, game-winning touchdown.

Recency bias is absolutely a real thing, but regardless, this has to be one of the worst football collapses ever.

They had the game won! All they had to do was kneel.

(Unless you're a Miami fan reading this, in which case, condolences.)

See you next week.
