A deeper look at David Tepper

[Moo Daeng]

He's the newest name we've heard with the most money. 

He needs to propose a bid that is accepted. That's what matters.

I'm hoping we hear Ed DeBartolo Jr's name comes into play. He helped 49ers win their championships. I heard right when Richardson wanted to sell team he was interested. I think he would be the best choice by far. I want a winner and will spend money and quit being cheap.

I read a lot on here about JR and the Panthers organization being "cheap". There is a salary cap last I heard. It is the same for all teams. What exactly are you talking about?

No thanks we already have a cheap owner don't want another cheap one .

Again ....we have a salary cap. How are JR, the Panthers, or any owner cheap? Can no one answer the question?  A team, managed properly, can not risk spending the entire cap prior to the season starting.

The owners have to write the signing bonus and Jerry tried to get tax payers $$ for stadium upgrades . Pretty cheap don't you say ?

Does either one prevent us from following a winning team. It is a business. As far as I know all owners have plied the local taxpayers for funding of any new stadium. Signing bonuses would be part of the GMs job. But again there a limits

...and how do you know he’s the “leading candidate”?

He's been reported to be by NFL Network reporters, among others.

He's already in the NFL club as a part owner of the Steelers (basically following the same path Haslam did). The league is said to favor him, and they have final approval on the sale.

Speculation considering the bids are just starting to come in.

Correct - Nothing but the usual Aunt Bea cartoonish hypothesis to see here -  long winded and with no real facts to back it up.

Other than his initial comment saying he was interested, I haven't seen much if any mention of DeBartolo since.

Now, if he signed a confidentiality agreement, that might be expected. But everybody else would have signed one too and we're still hearing their names.

Pretty much every reporter and analyst talking about the sale right now is saying it's between Tepper and Navarro. The Fertitta brothers were said to be in the mix but apparently dropped out.

Anything can happen of course, but barring something unforeseen, I expect it to be Tepper.

Whatever it takes to win I'm on board with. 

Players with characters concerns 

Stadiums with rave like atmospheres 

Whatever 

The more change the better I say.

Players with character concerns are where I kind of hesitate, and not necessarily for strictly moral reasons.

Anybody who's assaulted a woman, committed domestic violence or anything like that, absolutely I object to for moral reasons. Guys with other issues? It's more practical.

A lot of teams have found themselves burned because they put themselves in the position of relying on someone who had already given them evidence that he was unreliable. In a couple of cases, that contributed to teams losing Super Bowls.

Obviously, that's a case-by-case thing. As a whole though, I'm wary.

[BIGH2001]

Seems like a complete prick who would embarrass himself like Dan Snyder. No thanks.

I doubt its the bidders signing confidentiality agreemwnts for the owner.

It would be those who work for and around the bidders who sign them. The lawyers and accountants and consultants the bidders hire working on the bid process would be required by the bidders to keep quiet during the process. We know the team is for sale as the owner indicated this to the public.

Well technically, none of these guys are necessarily handling their own business.  It's all done through the lawyers.

How extensive those agreements are, and what the consequences are for breaking them, who knows?

No. That’s frugal. Stupid(ish) that Charlotte paid. And how is paying signing bonuses cheap?

Agreed but spend 3bil and try and make it not about the $.
