The NCAA sucks. But allowing kids to profit off their name and likeness was a change that was needed decades ago.

Wait... what are you doing right now? Looks a whole lot like bitching.

Do you know what the NIH allows for? Doesn't sound like it.

I said I didn't care if Tepper took his team and left. I was here well before Tepper.

Hell, he'd probably want to charge me for the honor.

I don't know what the Saints are up to. No one really does. It's all speculation. Maybe they have another move planned. Maybe they just REALLY like the top 20 talent in this draft and want to assure themselves two of them. Who knows?

That reeks of bullshit. If someone called offering something crazy like say three 1sts all of a sudden they'd be very open to receiving such an offer.

Stuff like this is honestly turning me pretty sour on the NFL as a whole. At the end of the day, we're all cucking for billionaires fleecing us simply by tuning in and participating. With the new NIH standards in the NCAA, the college game is going to get a lot more morally appetizing IMO. Probably going to increasingly get my football fix there.

Feel free to donate some money to Rock Hill to help foot the bill.

It's a much less severe mental disorder than cucking for billionaires.

All I'm saying is that Tepper has fuged over people before and he'll do it again when it benefits him. I'm not going to cry over the same happening to him this time. If the shoe was on the other foot you'd be defending Tepper saying "it's just business".

Just as the representatives of Rock Hill should be obligated to operating in the best interests of their constituents. Our elected officials rarely do it, but they should. Giving a multi-billionaire hundreds of millions for his new play toy... meh.

I dislike dishonorable people. David Tepper is dishonorable. His honor goes as far as what is in his best interests. He's in a deal up until that point and not a moment longer. He's just on the other end of such a deal this time. I'm not feeling any sorrow for him.

Tell all the folks laid off by Delphi about how honorable David Tepper is with his business agreements.

He has only lived up to his end of the bargain because it's in his best interests. He's proven in the past that he'll fug people over in a heartbeat as soon as he thinks going through with a deal isn't in his best interests. Don't try to make this piece of poo out to be some type of honorable person. He's not.

It's been shown by deep dive economic analyses that flashy new stadiums provide terrible ROI for municipalities. I hope they tell Tepper to pound sand.

If they think they can make more money and get bigger influence they won't let Jerry Jones stand in their way. Hell, he's 79 years old anyway. He's unlikely to be around to be in their way for much longer either way.

Football just doesn't seem like something Musk would have much if any interest in. He's no saint, but his eyes are on much bigger and more influential matters than trivial football.

Sure. They're pieces of poo too. Doesn't mean Tepper isn't. Delphi was the 13th largest bankruptcy in American history at that point. It cost tens of thousands of jobs but all those people and their families were all just pawns in Tepper's financial chess game.

If Elon Musk wanted in he could buy Jerry Jones with the loose change in his couch.

In large part because we keep investing in awful QBs from the NFL's rubbish bin and we don't have the type of football organization to attract decent vets with other options. This is a mess of their own doing.

Delphi knows something about this. “Two years ago, Tepper headed up a consortium that agreed to help auto manufacturer Delphi exit from Chapter 11 protection—only to pull out at the last minute after the credit markets seized up, stymieing the company’s ability to get financing. A bitter battle ensued. Delphi filed a lawsuit against Appaloosa, alleging, among other things, that Tepper “pushed, with the grace and diplomacy of a battering ram, to play a central role in the reorganization” of the company, only to turn tail and “manufacture an excuse” once they lost interest.”

You and me both. I would've told him "15% of Rock Hill's population falls below the defined poverty line and you, a billionaire more than a dozen times over wants hundreds of millions in handouts? You sir can go fug yourself." To put this in perspective, David Tepper a multi-billionaire is essentially asking Rock Hill for $21k per impoverished resident. This poo should be fuging criminal but it's business as usual for the elite.

It's what billionaires do. This is our new version of "capitalism". In reality, it's just socialism for the very wealthy.
