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.

Starting over? You mean like gutting your fanbase with unpopular moves, trying to fleece a bedroom city out of money for a new team headquarters, and posturing that you plan to do the same to your home city for a new stadium at the earliest possible opportunity? Sure looks like Tepper has already crossed the "starting over" bridge.

It's a good investment because with my repaired car I'll be able to contribute to the economy and that will end up making things better for everyone so you see, it's really in everyone's best interest to give me this money that I totally don't need so that I can further increase my wealth... uh, I mean "contribute to the economy".

I was simply responding to the statement that Charlotte is a top 10 media market.

The Charlotte media market is #22 in the U.S. There's a reason why the team is called labeled "Carolina" and not "Charlotte" and why the the pushes the whole two states thing so hard. The Charlotte market isn't big enough to carry a team. You need the broader region.

Does he need help packing? I could probably find a couple free days to lend a hand.

This is the about the most pathetic poo talking I've ever seen attempted. This is like watching a guy still trying to talk poo to someone who just thoroughly whipped his ass twice in public. No one even takes it seriously and they're kinda hoping the other guy feels sorry enough for him not to whip his ass a third time because the last two were so brutal to watch.

Honestly, I'm close to he point with Tepper that I'd prefer he just take the team and be gone. Give the Carolinas an opportunity for a fresh start.

He is really shaping up to be an unmitigated disaster as an owner.

Yeah, that SUCKED. But honestly, as the time passes I remember the thrill of that Paige double pump three to tie it more than the agony of the sting of the loss.

Imagine being tone-deaf enough to attempt to talk poo as a duke fan right now.

Now I'm hoping for a repeat of '17 next year. Team came up just short in the championship game the prior season and used that to fuel a championship run determined to cut down the final nets this time.

Literally the only stress involved was having to face duke in the Final Four. Other than that it was straight house money. I've never been able to enjoy a run like that with zero expectations. Every other UNC Final Four run has been fully expected and anything less than a championship was going to be a massive letdown. Basically, like our 2015 SB run. That poo is stressful. This tourney run was just flat out fun and it's precisely because it was so completely unexpected.

Um... That type of trade would look something like #6, our next two 1sts, and Brian Burns. That still might not be enough.

Strong definitely has an NFL arm but I don't think his arm is all that special. Kind of a run of the mill good NFL arm.

Yeah, that dude was FUN to watch in college in that offense. I'm just not seeing translatable NFL traits. Not every great college player has translatable traits.

Quality post. Thanks for sharing. Seriously. It beats the constant bitching.

Yeah, good call. For whatever reason I tend to forget about his Chicago seasons

There were individual games when it felt like he dropped that many.

You got a temp ban (not even from me) for physically threatening another poster. You're lucky to still be here at all.
