I don't see how Tepper is in the running since there's a FOUR HUNDRED MILLION DOLLAR difference in the bids.

One, you're allowed to increase your bid. Two, while everyone expects Richardson to pick the highest bidder, he's not guaranteed to do that, and the NFL has been lobbying for him to choose Tepper.

Just saw an item online that said Tepper sold off a bunch of airline stock. Didn't think anything about it at the time, and don't know how much he got for it, but it occurs to me that he could conceivably be seeking some liquid cash in preparation to up his bid.

I wouldn't bet on that alone being enough to make up the difference, but it could be part of something larger.

Because he's the guy the NFL wants and the other owners have to approve the sale.

Ultimately though, he's probably gonna have to increase his bid if he ultimately wants to be chosen. I don't think for a moment that he's unaware of this. He's probably just trying to see exactly how much of a lowball offer he can get away with.

      I figured as much. Hopefully he's just resting up and will be ready for round 3 (if we make it that far.)  Sucks to see. Hes been our best defender (besides Slavin) in the playoffs so far.

      I've never bought into the idea. There's just too much at stake, even for front office people. Jobs are lost, trust is lessened, lives are altered, reputations are damaged and more. Throw in that the average front office person isn't as young as the average player. They may not have ten years ahead of them to salvage their careers. Any given year could be their last. The only person not guaranteed to suffer some direct form of consequence from losing is the owner, and even there you still have problems (fan reaction, team reputation, revenue, etc). You've also got massive egos in play on that front so it can get personal. Mind you, I do accept that there are "fire sales" in order to build for the future, but even those have consequences. They don't exactly guarantee success either. Poorly run teams often just wind up in the same circumstance a few years down the road. Sorry gus, but my tinfoil hat just hasn't fit me for quite a while.
