Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson dropped by practice this morning, addressing the team as a whole for the first time since his heart transplant surgery.

Richardson had been at a summer school practice earlier this year, and spoke with a few individual players. But Monday, after they stretched, he called them up for more than five minutes, and had defensive end Julius Peppers to come stand with him in the middle of the large huddle.

Richardson's lost about 45 pounds since his surgery, which began the night of the Super Bowl. He looked more like a receiver than a tight end Monday, and rode around practice on his personal golf cart.

He was accompanied by former Panthers defensive end Mike Rucker, who drove him down to Wofford College for the visit.

Anyone know what was said? I'm very curious, and also somewhat because he had Pep stand next to him...

If he was smart he said that he screwed up the other year asking him to be a vocal leader of the team instead of a play by an example player. That would have felicitated the laughter heard by the comment. Was probably just a pep talk and he'll probably have another one before the season opens, but that was kinda out there and good for him to dispel it, if that's what it was...

well, I'm sure it was a pep talk... no pun intended.. just curious of what he said for a number of reasons.. 1 of which had to do with it being his 1st time talking to the team after the transplant and also the guy next to him. curious how he took that angle with Pep since the last time failed miserably...

      Houston Texans... You Suck!!!

      I mean I think its a bit disingenuous to call basically anyone here a casual fan. I don't think the casual fan creates a profile then logs into it, in the offseason, to comments on mundane offseason topics.. I dont think anyone on here would be considered a casual fan. That said, I get your point. My POV is from the player. They sign this contract, move their family because of these contracts. When Clowney came him, we basically had a coming home party for him.  So yeah, I get why we did it and I know that ultimately the owner doesnt 'save' money, but I can feel for the human side of the player, which is why I want them to get all they can while they can.

      My guess is the NBA will either send Flagg back “home” to the Northeast in Brooklyn or Washington, or San Antonio so that they can keep building around Wemby. If I was a betting man I would take the odds on the Spurs. This definitely feels like a #1 pick that they will rig.

      Some...concerning UNC / Belichick news

      In fairness, she is ensuring she is talked about.  People really aren’t going out there way to bring her up.  It’s some weird poo.  She would end up getting talked about given her actions if she was 40. Bill realizing some of these high end “companions” got a game of their own.  That’s what I don’t think Bill saw coming.
