Noted! Canales Reacts to Keegan-Michael Key's Taylor Swift-Panthers Joke

The Panthers head coach is keeping receipts.

Comedian Keegan-Michael Key stole the show at NFL Honors, ripping off jokes left and right, one of which got the attention of Carolina Panthers new head coach Dave Canales and rightfully so.

"My understanding is that Taylor Swift is in Tokyo right now. The only people farther from the Super Bowl are the Carolina Panthers."

I'm not going to lie, the joke was pretty clever. And given how bad the Panthers have been over the last handful of years, it's easy for folks like Keegan-Michael Key to pick on them.

The unfortunate thing about it is, it shows how far the Panthers have fallen since reaching Super Bowl 50. It all went downhill fast and they've yet to recover. Since that devastating loss to Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos, the Panthers have gone 48-83 (.366).

Dan Morgan and Dave Canales look to change the narrative in Carolina and get back to competitive football, rather than be the highlight of a comedian's joke reel at NFL Honors.
