Mick Mixon elevated play-by-play to storytelling during his time with the North Carolina Tar Heels and Carolina Panthers

Mick Mixon called his last Carolina Panthers game on January 9th, 2022 after 17 years of play-by-play for the NFL franchise. But calling Mixon a play-by-play guy is selling him short. He was a storyteller more than a sportscaster, and helped paint the picture for some of the biggest moments in North Carolina sports history. Mixon grew up in Chapel Hill and eventually came back home to be part of two NCAA basketball championship runs for the Tar Heels. Mixon left the world of collegiate sports for the NFL in 2005, where he carved out his own style of broadcasting during what was arguably the height of the Panthers franchise with Cam Newton at quarterback. Mixon joined Joe Ovies discuss his career and provide behind the scenes perspective of several memorable moments.

Brief histories of North Carolina sports from college basketball giants to Stanley Cup winners and the pro football team that lasted a single season.
