My family came from the coal mining communities...............and the amount of money they make is obscene in our world.

In fact you learn more in life from being wrong and not repeating that than to be "right" all the time. "We just made too many wrong mistakes" - Yogi Berra

In his trading days on Wall Street Tepper was the top trader at Goldman Sachs but got passed over by Jon Corzine of Goldman Sachs rather than make him partner. Tepper took this personally since the reason was Corzine didn't like Tepper's personality. Tepper left Goldman, founded his own hedge fund, and became a billionaire. Then in 2015, he found a chance at getting back at Corzine. Corzine and his wife Joanne Dougherty had lived in a Hamptons mansion, which they put a bunch of effort into building up. When Corzine and Joanne divorced in 2003, Joanne got the mansion, which was valued at $9 million. In 2015, Tepper bought the mansion and ended up paying $44 million for it. Then he tore it down and built another mansion, twice as big, in the same spot. If he’d been planning on building a mansion from scratch, he could have done so more cheaply on vacant land rather than by buying an existing mansion only to raze it, but Tepper it appears wanted to squash Corzine’s ego with his own. Folks that’s all you need to know about who owns the Panthers.

The Charlotte MSA (90 mile radius of Charlotte) has more people than Atlanta within the same MSA statistical analysis. The dynamics of the market place in the Charlotte MSA exceed other MSAs in the US with larger city populations. From a marketing standpoint the NFL heavily weighs the MSA as a population study to the market potential of a given franchise.

The reality is if Tepper becomes a liability with this team to where it hurts the NFL in general as a singular revenue sharing entity in the media then like with Snyder the other NFL owners can be rallied by the NFL to force him out of ownership. There will come a time that if Tepper continues his dumpster fire of this franchise that its issues will metastasize around the league and then the billionaire club of owners won't take to kindly to such a rouge pathway that Tepper is creating. After all there are few areas billionaires can park this kind of revenue and have such attractive returns on their investment. I see that as the likely development over this team moving anywhere else with Tepper still in control.

This is the lowest because you can't dig out of it if the owner keeps messing up.............unless Tepper takes a back seat to everything or sells the team the chance of having a turnaround could indefinitely be on hold..............what worse situation could you ask for?

Free wouldn't be worth it due to the parking and food expenses.............. Pay me $50 to $100 a seat to go and I would consider that as a break even freebie. Right now I don't consider watching them on tv to be worth any time let alone money. Saw I guy at the gym with a Panther shirt on and he looked at me and laughed saying....."I'm not a football fan I just wear this to workout in but it looks like it gets too many laughs so I'll use it to sleep in instead"

Tepper purchases Panthers for 2.275 Billion in 2018. As of 2023 the Panthers are valued at 4.1 Billion. In 5 years Tepper is up 80% on a multi billion dollar principal. How many capital investment environments allow you to position that large of a principal and net 16% average annual percentage increase? Now what is that we are saying about Tepper being aware of a basic truth?

One big problem............. When it comes to owners involved with an NFL football team it seems that one bad decision begets another......

Wow, I could see perhaps a business buying them for employee and customer perks but for a fan buy a PSL knowing if the stadium goes so does their investment? Sheesssh!

What is the matter with all you complaining about Tepper?? Look at least down in Rock Hill he has brought us a brand new practi...........oh wait.

Let's see...........didn't PSL become an investment vehicle to build BoA as a way to avoid purging public funding of that? If so..then if BoA becomes history are the PSL history??

Tepper the owner..... ......let's see. Take some Browns ........add some Jets........sprinkle in some Lions.........yeah that will do it..... ooh wait!........add some Dan Snyder and Jerry Jones owner control/meddling mess..... ......and oy vey!!! Here front office....... see what you can do with my recipe

He put his money where his mouth is................been watching the Panthers since 98 moving down here but..... My investment in anything panthers over that time including attending games (free or I never go) apparel and all the rest of that? $0.................hehe I never spend money on it.......

There is a difference........ Rhule is on amphetamines Reich is on quaaludes

Read a book and if I end up dozing off have a nice afternoon nap.......... if that sounds a bit tuned down in volume for a weekend it is....... As I'm 70 years old and in dog years that puts me the porch snoozing as a perfect Sunday afternoon for me.

Take Cam and Jake out of the equation and what do you really have?

"fired"?........ ...wrong verb............ In Tepper's case try "divorced".......

For this to be a "trap game" for Dallas they would have to fall in a stellar blackhole..............nothing short of that will change the no sale knot that they will ring up on top of Carolina's forehead in this game.

Here me out.......................1-8 with Young on a lousy team. What would the record be with Stroud on this same lousy team? 1-8???? or maybe a few more wins? There is your story.

and in other news....... "Bank of American announces Panther fans contest" Bank of American PR department has teamed up with the Carolina Panthers to conduct a contest at the BofA stadium this Weds 11-15 at 9am. Anyone over 295lbs is eligible to show up and hit a genuine Panther team blocking sled.......the person who can move it the most distance in a set time period will be selected to a final group of contestants to participate in a "sled off" with the winning contestant starting with the Panther offensive line unit this coming week when they face the Dallas Cowboys Sunday afternoon 11-19 at BoA stadium. Panther's front office could not be reached for a comment but word is all contestants will receive a steak and ketchup dinner after the contest concludes.

If he was smart he would have never married a 2nd time in 2019 after he was a billionaire..........big big mistake.

I'll bet when you see a group of guys going stag in that 30 to 50 range its a legit excuse to get out for an afternoon away from the house and the wife's to do list for a while?
