interesting...

Personally, I wouldn't mind Michael Rubin being the owner. He's been particularly well-liked by fanbases and players for those he's worked with. He knows how to connect with modern culture and the such.

Interesting that Diddy may be a part of this as well. Been a while since I've last heard his name, but I was wondering what he's been up to. Makes sense he'd agree to pair up with a guy like Rubin in the end.

Reps for Rubin and Diddy didn’t comment. But a source close to Combs — who is said to be worth more than $820 million thanks to deals with Diageo’s Ciroc and a partnership with DeLeon tequila — told us, “Sean is absolutely serious about being in on the deal to buy the Panthers. This team is something he truly believes in.”

Sources say Rubin, who owns $4.5 billion online sportswear retailer Fanatics, is set on buying the Panthers, which was put up for sale in December after the team’s owner Jerry Richardson was accused of workplace misconduct.

Rubin — a close friend of Patriots owner Bob Kraftand many pro-athletes — is set to submit a bid for the Panthers, we’re told, and Tsai is on board to join an impressive ownership consortium, which they hope could yet include sports figures such as Steph Curry and music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs. Tsai is already a 49 percent owner of the Brooklyn Nets.

A source told Page Six, “Rubin is putting a powerful bid for the Carolina Panthers. Under the bid, Rubin, would be the majority owner, with Tsai just behind. But Rubin also hopes to put together an incredibly diverse minority ownership team as part of his bid. He has been talking to Steph Curry and Diddy as minority owners. The initial bids are due tomorrow, the ownership structure can be declared at a later date.”

Sabates said he doesn't know if he'll keep it in Charlotte. I for one do not want some dude coming in here and taking the team out of Charlotte after a few years. And with the group of people he has on board, it wouldn't shock me if that would happen.

I don't know why any majority owner would want that loudmouth in his ownership group.

Rubin and Tsai alone would be lovely, but I guess they're not willing to put up that much.  

The idea of Diddy is funny, but yeahhhhh not sure I want him doing anymore Instagram videos spouting off about the North Carolina Panthers and seemingly not knowing Cam Newton is our QB.

Games going to be lit with Diddy in the skybox!

Yeh, because that turned out so great when Bob Johnson owned the Bobcats! Not everyone listens to Power 98

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
