Hopefully everyone recognizes that the NFL owners interests don't necessarily align with those of Panthers fans.

At the end of the day, it all comes down to money.

JR may be the only thing standing between the Carolina Panthers and some interloper looking to squeeze Charlotte and NC for a new state of the art stadium or it's hasta la vista baby, arrivederci cha cha.

Would/Do you support using public funds for a new stadium to keep them here?

Which is why I think and hope JR will pick Navarro. Particularly if what's reported about Tepper not being close in $ is true.

That was starting bid though. I imagine all bidders that came in low will now have the chance to meet or beat the top bid.

As we detailed the other day, Tepper has not been the most aggressive bidder, and I think I now have a more clear understanding of why. Tepper didn’t get rich by making shaky investments. He’s brilliant, and very analytical from a business standpoint. His bid was never going to be crazy. And my sense is that he may not be willing to go much past $2 billion

Drama. It’s what makes me hate everything anymore.   

May I recommend staying away from the panthers, the sale of the panthers, the nfl, the Carolina  huddle and the internet and people in general.  That should cover it all. 

 

Also so there is no drama in the sale it’s a misleading headline. The sale is going about as steady and simple as a multi billion dollar sale can.

Drama means the assumptions made by outsiders might not be correct.

Or drama might be the word the author of the article this thread is about (you know, the one posted in the OP) used in the first line of that article to describe the fact that the NFL wasn't getting what it wanted.

I'd say that's a possibility.

from a stock perspective the buyer is getting in at the top of the market.  say the new owner gets in at 2.5 billion.  how or when do they recoup that? TV deal is one thing but still tough. I won't say the R word. 

here is some data porn. before that here is a bold prediction re tv and NFL. I say ESPN gives up MNF in 3 yrs or less. they are overspending more than others while people keep cutting the cord.

      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!
