Person article on Navarro, Rubin, & Tepper

[top dawg]

Joe Person's latest article gives information on the assumed three leading contenders. Some of it we may already know,  but there are still little tidbits that may interest you.

My favorite is still Rubin.  He's a smart guy that's connected in the sports world as well as the business world in general.

After reading that I prefer Navarro.  Seems a low key overall smart dude.  The others seem a little more brash.  I'm fine with any of those 3 though.

Also the article stated Navarro wanted to keep an open air stadium in uptown which is a plus for me.

I like Navarro too.  Rubin would be 2nd.  Not wild about Tepper.

Save those domes for arena football. Sanitizes the game, don't like em. That's why NO and ATL aren't real football teams

I’m still on the Rubin train, but I’d be cool with Navarro as well. Don’t really want Tepper.

Def pulling for Rubin here. Hard to not feel slimy when thinking about how Tepper & Navarro made their billions. Plus Rubin seems to connect with players.

Mostly stuff we'd seen before.

New things I noticed...

- Navarro's preference for an open air stadium

- the stuff about Navarro and his siblings helping their dad

- Rubin having been on "Undercover Boss"

- Tepper's comments on domestic violence issues

One thing they didn't include about Tepper was the reason why he tore down that mansion. It was out of spite over a girl that dumped him because she believed he wouldn't be able to "keep her in the lifestyle to which she had become accustomed".

The thing about Navarro having a poor business model would concern me a bit. Though as I've said before, the hope for any of them is that they hire a solid  football mind to run that side of the operation and then after that keep their hands out of it.

One other thing that doesn't concern me, but which apparently draws some attention: Seriously, who gives a s--t about the brass balls thing? Given the situation, I doubt he'd bring them to the Panther offices, but good grief it's not worth making a big deal out of.

That caught my eye as well.  And it worries me as well.  The more I read and hear, I just get the feeling that Navarro is the least likely of the three to get the team. 

Other than being local to the Carolina's, he really doesn't offer anything we wouldn't get from Rubin or Tepper.  In fact, I think he actually offers the least of any of them.  Rubin offers the marketing power (along with probably the greatest appeal to millennials of any of the three) and Tepper offers, by far, the deepest pockets.  And both Tepper and Rubin already have ties to the NFL that Navarro doesn't have.  It just seems that it's really a two man race (assuming there aren't any unknown suitors).
