Give me the guy with an undying desire to win at whatever he does

 

give me the asshole. I dont want the nice guy. Nice guys finish last. At least in poo that doesnt matter much in the grand scheme of things like a damn game.

Tepper does nothing to run the Steelers. He wrote a check and maybe goes to games and parties.

If I had to guess, not entirely fake.

We've heard it reported that Tepper won't go above a certain number. Someone may have taken a statement to that effect and run with it

It could yet turn out to be true, but Tepper is for the moment letting everybody know that he's still involved.

I don't see JR picking Tepper to appease the NFL while losing money. Just speculation on my part but it appears he's just chasing the biggest check without regard to its origin.

From what I hear Rooney barely runs the team despite majority ownership. I have no insight into teppers role in ownership but I doubt its parties and games. I’m guessing it’s more board room meetings and revenue reports and games.  

 

Also minority owners aren’t so quiet over in Pit:  https://nypost.com/2018/01/16/some-minority-steelers-owners-are-fed-up-with-mike-tomlin/

Tepper's ego is now fully engaged.  Film at 11.

So would he barely run the team too with majority ownership like Rooney? If that is true.

Have mentioned before: Tepper might want to bring his GM over from the Steelers if he gets the team.

Omar Khan has been one of those perpetual bridesmaids on the GM front (lots of interviews but no offers) so Tepper might be the guy to give him his shot.  Wouldn't be my first choice, mind you, but might be Tepper's.

All this “model franchise” stuff is kinda silly to me man. This team won a Super Bowl once in the past 10 years and perinially underachieves with crazy drama with their players every year with a drama filled coach who has always felt like he was in over his head. The reverence for the Steelers is a little overboard imo.

[Mr. Scot]

Hate to tell you but we're not exactly in any position to belittle the Steelers' success.

The Steelers have six trophies and are perennially in the playoffs. We still haven't managed back-to-back winning seasons yet.

Yeah, I mean I knew someone would hop in and say “6 trophies” but the fact remains the dudes basically a minority owner because they needed some cash.... He had nothing to do with any of those championships especially the 4 in the 70’s in what was basically a completely different game.  Also he purchased his 5% in 2009 so he’s come in after all 6 championships. That’s not really my point though. My point is we are a couple plays away from having two Super Bowl championships as well, in the same time period as well(one much more recently). I’d buy the mythology of maybe the patriots but that’s it. The Steelers are just a big name franchise with history from the 70’s who let a running back and a terrible coach dictate what they do year to year at this point. They’re also lucky their QB went on his rape fest pre-Ray Rice or there goes their dynasty of looking great and losIng in the weak AFC every year...

Dont get me wrong the Steelers have been good to great for many years but I just feel like we overrate the hell out of their “culture” and so on.

That's been a long running question: Take the guy from your model team or the guy that's local?

Guess we'll see.

I don't think a 5% ownership stake in the team guarantees he has anything to do with how the org is run or would intend to run the Panthers the same way. Haslam was a Steelers minority owner and he hasn't turned the Browns into a copy of the Steelers org or enjoyed much success.

Not sure the guy that has made billions in debt collection can be cast as a "nice guy". Tepper has a more outgoing personality but I don't think that means Navarro has any less killer instinct.
