On a tangent....has any new owner moved a team? Seems it's always the long standing ones who do. While we are on the topic of anyone who purchases a team wants to move it to their hometown or home of the most recent steel company their private equity firm invested in.

Stan Kroenke bought full ownership of the Rams in 2010 and moved them 7 years later.

Mark Davis also, if you count him as new.

All of these same things could have and were probably said of Jimmy Haslam before he bought the Browns. It didn't exactly translate to success.

#TeamNavarro  #charlestonStrong. I actually wouldn't be opposed to moving to the team out of Charlotte as long as it stayed in the Carolinas. The tri-county area (Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester) is only a little bit smaller than Charlotte (~700k versus ~820k).

LOL ok

Talking out of my arse here but here’s my knee jerk reactions.

Tepper - Big fear he’s too much of a Steelers homer to ever put the Panthers above them, that’s pretty scary. 

Navarro - Can’t beat local ownership.

So...if the new owner is approved at the May meetings....when does he actually become the owner?

As soon as the vote is completed.

Nobody who spends two billion plus on an NFL team is gonna sit there and watch them lose.

I prefer Navarro also, but allegiances will change pretty quickly when 2.5 billion dollars get involved.

Is anyone else worried about Tepper being really stingy with the team?

All indications are that he is fairly frugal with investments (a huge reason for why he made so much money) but when it comes to an NFL franchise, are we going to be complaining about him the same way we complained about Jerry not wanting to spend money?  I could see him wanting to milk the City for every dollar he can get for renovations

@Mr. Scot

Under most circumstances I would agree with that. We all know Steelers fans are some of the most hardened fans in the NFL. Tepper grew up just outside Pittsburgh, and well you know the rest. Just uncomfortable with the idea that the owner would have us as his #2 team.

The NFL is littered with teams that are frustratingly operated as extremely lucrative investments - doing just enough to get by. That 2.5 billion is a fantastic investment, win or lose.

Charleston is my favorite city in the Carolinas but something more central makes more sense. Raleigh or even Greenville. I’m against it leaving Charlotte. 

 

Also not in love with the use of #charlestonstrong here. That’s a really strong hash tag for some really bad stuff Charleston went through and can over come. Using it for a slogan for the city to get an nfl team feels like it cheapens the strength of the message.

      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!

      Canes vs Rags 7pm

      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!
