Mr. Scot

It's $350 a person for some food and music while you watch players walk into the stadium. Reposting the original...

I'm on an Android. Have tried both Chrome and Opera (my default) and got the same result. Have thought about downloading Firefox and trying that but haven't yet.

iPhone or Android? (and what browser?)

My first post was a quote of Roaring Riot's tweet, followed by my asking if anyone had taken part in this particular thing before mentioning that I saw some people complain about it online and acknowledging that free to $350 was a pretty steep price increase. So since I didn't really say all that much about it myself, I guess what I can take from your post is that Roaring Riot was "creating a false narrative" and "acting in bad faith" by saying what he did. Of course, given that you already said he was "using this story as a marketing opportunity", I probably shouldn't be surprised that you'd think that way.

Side Note I had no idea this was a thing...

Well, this is a new one...

Uh oh

I made it all up? Wow I guess I must have made up the angry tweets from Roaring Riot and others too. My skills at hacking Twitter accounts must be better than even I knew about Seriously, I thought your last response was dumb. This one takes the cake

Yikes

I recognize the name. Jackson wrote some super critical stuff about Mayfield on his way out of Cleveland. The gist of the article is that Jackson thinks the "f--k them up" comments are absolutely something "the old Baker Mayfield" would say, but he believes there's a new Baker Mayfield who's been humbled by being kicked out of Cleveland. Yeah...not so sure I buy that. To his credit, he does at least seem to believe that Mayfield will be the same guy on the field that he's always been. He's just not real clear on whether that's a good thing or not. (he certainly didn't consider a good thing when he was with the Browns) In any case, my current read is still that Mayfield is doing damage control because the team doesn't like having this sort of thing get out. A lot of us don't give a sh-t. A good number of us think it's great. But from a team perspective, I can kind of understand (even if I don't agree with it).

See and that to me says "too early to judge", which is largely where I stand on Fitterer anyway. I have a generally positive feeling about him, but my overall grade is still an incomplete.

Well, ya know... Rhule clearly liked him since he mentioned having seen him in high school (no word on whether he recruited him). Shenault would be the second player Rhule wanted to draft that we later acquired by trade, the first of course being CJ Henderson. And both, of course, coming from the Jaguars.

I know one person who'd love it

Nah, but I'm enjoying your attempts to actually start threads and talk football given how much criticism you've universally received for not doing those things That makes it pretty clear you've heard what people are saying about you.

His post was dumb, as is yours, because you guys don't understand the heart of the issue. "There are people who will pay for it" is a stupid, unaware response which completely misses that Tepper and his people are out of touch with the average fan, choosing instead to value the corporate types who are willing to pay big money. But then, billionaires being out of touch isn't exactly a surprising thing. Pete Rozelle always fought to have the NFL product accessible to as many people as possible. These days, owners like Tepper only want it accessible to the people that can (and will) pay through the nose for it. And hey, God forbid his net worth drop down below 12 billion.

I've wondered whether perhaps the fact that the Panthers were a relatively young team without much history or tradition played into his decision to bid on them. Tepper may have believed that he could basically take the team and reshape it however he wanted and nobody would care.

How about "Appaloosa Management Stadium"?

Apparently so did the Panthers. From the same article... “I saw him in high school, so I think all of us have a vision for what he is,” Rhule said. “I remember when Marty (Hurney) was here, early in the draft process, Marty was in love with him. We watched a ton of him. I think he’s just a guy that we all have a lot of different things for.

Wouldn't really say I did that here, but I grant you're more experienced at that sort of thing than I am. He got the response he did because his post was dumb. LaFell did a pretty good job explaining why. I'd add that criticizing Roaring Riot is pretty ridiculous, especially coming from someone defending an owner who's as clearly out of touch with his fanbase as David Tepper.

You think getting picks in return for guys like Little and Daley count as "losses"? Which trades are you referring to?

Yeah When asked if he had any concerns about Tshimanga Biakabutuka's durability, Bill Polian replied "None." I remember him mainly because i=of that "Undrafted" series the NFL did.

That's the position the Seahawks always used to be in.

I don't think they were grandstanding for the cameras on Panthers Confidential. To be clear though, I don't mind trading down. I'm less a fan of trading away future picks. In both cases however, as long as you get good return I'm okay.

They specified that they received offers last year but didn't feel they were good enough...which I'm fine with. Heck, last year even when they did trade down they still wound up with guys they were targeting.
