I just hope MJ is still involved in some way. We loose him we're likely to loose Brown.

maybe get MJ involved on the marketing side. God knows he sucks in operations.

The only smart move he has ever made was to hire Brown. Then, Brown had to go and clean up the roster disaster that MJ created.

please let it be.. i would love some baseball in carolina..

u think we could build a solid fanbase?

the only way that would happen is if they got an AL team to move in. It would be very hard to compete with the Braves in the NL. If a braves vs. Carolina happened in charlotte i can almost guarantee 75% of the stadium would be Braves fans

Why wouldn't Jordan remain as part owner? I mean, Johnson originally owed 100% or something close to 100% (minus what Nelly and whoever else owned any stakes). BUT then Johnson sold off parts of the team and Jordan owns a percentage. He is part owner. I think he owns a little less than half, so it's still Johnson's team but Jordan has a lot riding on the club's success... financially. Still, Johnson can only sell his share which obviously is over 50% (I think it's actually 70%) and control, but wouldn't Jordan still own his share and still be PART owner? Or does the new majority owner have the right to kick out any other owners? I don't think so.

I know Jordan was interested in investing more in the team, when Johnson announced that he wanted to sell his share. I think if Jordan invested in an additional 20% (at least), he'd go over 50% to be the new majority owner. Still, he would need to find other investors to cover the remaining percentage, if even 30%, which he obviously can't.

I'm sure Jordan will remain on. I can't see any new owner taking over a team and seeing signs of successful after last year and tossing out a local legend and a hall of fame coach without giving it one more run.

My feelings are this. If the people in Charlotte are honestly saying they dislike Johnson, for among many things, his unwillingness to hang out at local games and become a part of the Charlotte community... they are in for a real treat with a majority owner from HOUSTON! haha Think Bob in D.C. was hard to reach, try this guy. He needs Jordan, from North Carolina, to become an even BIGGER presence and he desperately needs Jordan's image, now more than ever.

I personally don't think Bob is a bad owner. I hear people in Charlotte whine about how we don't have any superstars like Kobe and Shaq and LeBron playing on the club and that's why we don't sell out games. What people refuse to admit is that Charlotte is a SMALL market compared to New York & LA and even Cleveland. They don't have the funds to buy big time talent. In fact, Shinn was always a cheap b****. He gave LJ a huge sum and got rid of him ASAP because he couldn't afford it. Considering how little we sell out and how cheap our ticket prices are, Bob has throw money at guys like Wallace and Okafor and seen little appreciation from the city who once complained that Shinn never resigned our own talent.

I'm not saying Bob's perfect, he's made several mistakes, starting with how he sort of forced a downtown arena down the throats of taxpayers. BUT understand this, George Postolos oversaw a plan to cram a new arena down the throats of Houston taxpayers in 2006. When it failed, he left the Rockets. Fact is, love it or hate it, most owners want publicly funded arenas and they want their arena referendum passed and get built. Whether it's Bob Johnson or George Postolos or even George Shinn, that will NEVER EVER change.

My other issue with George Postolos is this. The guy isn't from here. He doesn't even have the cash to buy all of Johnson's 70% himself, which probably means more PART OWNERS from other parts not from Charlotte and more people whining. Fact is, a lot of people complain that Johnson won't shake enough hands around Charlotte, talk to enough CEOs, and get enough luxury boxes sold. What makes you think George Postolos from Houston is going to be any different? The city obviously needs somebody from here to get more involved - like a Bruton Smith. George Postolos who great success as the Rockets' CEO is a native Texan. Sort of proves my point.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
