Mr. Scot

I don't really think anybody "loves" Tepper right now. There are however some of us who think it's at least possible that he just made a major decision without screwing it up.

I have no interest whatsoever in being part of the Tom Brady slobber fest. But that picture hurts

The line for me is making sh-t up. If you do that, you deserve whatever comes to you.

I wouldn't

The thread says unpopular opinion

Stop me if you've heard this one... So the team with the #1 pick is gonna try and see if they can trade it away for a great deal. Kinda like the team before them did... And the one before that... And the one before that

There's such a thing as a duck slaughter machine?

Also Matt Rhule will sue the Panthers

Read above. Actually sounds like Tepper might have a point.

From the story: Rhule signed an eight-year contract with Nebraska that pays $74 million in base salary along with $4 million more in deferred salary if he remains employed by the school across various vesting dates. Whereas Rhule's contract with Carolina had a consistent base salary of $8.5 million each year, the Nebraska contract escalates each year -- from $5.5 million in the first year to $12.5 million in the final year of the deal. According to a source, the Panthers will argue that Rhule's Nebraska contract violates the league's anti-tampering policy. Section 3, Article D of the policy under "CONTRACT WITH NEW CLUB/REASONABLENESS" reads: "If the contract with the new club includes a substantial salary increase in new contract years, the Commissioner shall use the following as a guideline to determine the reasonableness of those increases: (i) if annual compensations is scheduled to increase by 20 percent or more for the new contract years, the prior club's annual offset, if that club is entitled to an offset, shall be calculated based upon the employee's average annual compensation during the entire term of contract." The argument is that Rhule's Nebraska contract has an unreasonable increase of greater than 20 percent when factoring in deferred salary and other benefits. Though the league's anti-tampering policy makes no reference to college coaching jobs, the policy also does not make an explicit distinction as to what it means by "club." So as I understand it, the Panthers think that the University of Nebraska constructed the first year of his contract the way they did in an effort to squeeze one last year of salary out of the Panthers and save themselves a little money. The Panthers called bullsh-t.

Nah. If you're someone who can make an intelligent argument and defend your opinion, I'll have plenty of respect for you regardless of whether what you believe lines up with what I say or not. On the other hand, if your argument consists of making up sh-t like "his players quit on him" and/or you're just somebody who wants to be an annoying internet dick, I'd consider you worthless and pathetic and frankly don't really give a flying rat's ass if your feeling's get hurt. Not everyone who posts on here is deserving of respect, and I'm not interested in making any special effort to be nice to trolls.

Maybe he's gonna do this every February just so he can listen to everyone talking about how great he is, then go back to playing until he gets another Super Bowl win

A court did recently rule that people could sue movie studios for misleading trailers. Maybe...

Read that guy's other posts and get back to me.

So I'm gonna spend a day where I was hoping for Panthers news having to hear about this sh-t over and over again

I went into this hiring process afraid he was gonna do something stupid (like give Sean Payton everything he wanted). He didn't.

This could actually be an interesting opportunity. In the arbitration hearing, would they be able to revisit a few of his post dismissal statements under oath?

Oh sure... 1-16 would paint a much clearer picture

That's the operative question.

Heh John suggested telling him that the money is there, he just can't see it.

Greg Olsen probably loves this news
