Any billionaire who wants to win and won't dick finger the organization by micro-managing the day to day operations.  My guess is Tepper will want to micro-manage, it's kinda how he made billions, so I'd go with the other 2, but all 3 could do just what I talked about.

Pie for “dick finger”. I chuckled.

in he "be careful what you wish for" category...i go with the guy from SC that wants an open air stadium

PS:  heard sabates on the radio today...he keeps talk about a spaceship stadium to get more $$ from the games, & getting a super bowl to make $$...it pretty obvious he is small potatoes to the other guys

See bold. This is the only reason I'm even a little conflicted.  I think Tepper would be a better owner but hate the idea of a domed stadium in the middle of nowhere.

Heard that Sabates interview too, seriously who gives a crap about a Super Bowl in Charlotte?

We don't really know what Tepper wants in a stadium.

Honestly, the only people in the entire thing who made their preferences known are Navarro (who prefers an open air stadium in uptown) and Sabates (who wants a domed stadium built on land belonging to a quasi-business partner of his).

Kestenbaum? Tepper? I Am Number Four? Nobody's really said anything about what they think.

Either way we really need a dome. You can generate so much more revenue when you have a dome than a open air stadium. Hopefully Charlotte will pay for it and lock the team here for the foreseeable future.

Yeah, I'm still onboard with Tepper but at least Navarro is on the record.  I'd like to think that coming from the Steelers, Tepper would value the outdoor uptown location.  

All in all I think Tepper would be the better owner and not really worth worrying about where the stadium will be in 5, 10, 15 years from now.  More important to create a winning culture and to me, Tepper feels like the best candidate for that.  That said, Wouldn't hate it if Navarro is the guy.

No we don’t need or want a dome

If Carolina ever wants a Super Bowl, then a dome or retractable roof stadium will be required.  Any sensible owner that plans to buy the team will want this....the fact Navarra doesn't makes me think he may not understand the politics of the NFL.  A new stadium is inevitable, so why in the world would Carolina build something that doesn't attract the Super Bowl?

      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!
