Mick Mixon's long walk into the sunset

Posted Jun 3, 2021
As long as he's been able to talk, sports have provided the soundtrack for Mick Mixon's life. Whether shooting baskets under the streetlight as a child or rolling a putt in on Finley Golf Course growing up in Chapel Hill, there was always someone to call the games that were unfolding in front of him. After this fall, he'll have a different kind of game to call. (Carolina Panthers)
