A deeper look at David Tepper

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?

 I don’t see Tepper as a power of attorney kind of guy.

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.

I wonder if the NFL told him that he couldn't buy a team.   My memory isn't clear about the Niners but seems to me he was in hot water with the NFL.

Maybe he quietly back out.

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.

I agree case by case, crabs legs down the pants, stolen laptops,  do some extra vetting during draft time.

domestic violence is another animal & habitual offenders,  nah
