Isn't it funny how people will turn on Tepper for having the brass balls to state the obvious?  He values his relationship with his wife, he practices the golden rule.  To me, that means he has character and is loyal to the person to who he made a promise.  That is honesty, not left wing liberalism and it is the kind of leadership we need.  It is ethics--it is integrity---it is morality.  Tepper will tell the truth.   He is not FOX news, the Enquirer, or MSNBC or the Golden Globe awards.  He deals in truth, not cafeteria-style, cherry-picked, self-serving propaganda.

If someone like Tepper calls you a name, you may not like it--it may make you mad because you lack his values or think your versions of reality are applicable to all--but it is probably spot on and you should rethink your perspectives.  He makes objective decisions.

That is a real leader. 

 

lol divorced said wife though.

Ya'll crack me up.  If giving a few sound bites to a major publication is all that is required to determine one's character in the eyes of the public, then being famous would certainly be alot easier.  So many seem to care more about political beliefs than on-field results.  This team winning is one of the few things powerful enough to bring everyone in this region (and on this forum) together.  At the end of the day, Ws are all that matters... and if they come in bunches no one will give two $h!ts about who agrees with Trump and who doesnt.  As for me, I'm really excited for this season.

You were a fan of Michael Rubin, though.

How do you feel about what the league did to him?

I wanted him, and still would’ve preferred him. I think the league was foul in how they told him to not even bother if he didn’t have 2.5, and the team didn’t even sell for 2.5. 

I gotta warm up to Tepper, but I’m liking what I see in the article.

There's two things I feel like I can say about Tepper.

One, I do believe he has the potential to be a good owner.

Two, thank God he's not my boss. I get the sense I would absolutely hate working for him.

I worked for a guy who was a jekyll and hyde (as Tepper was described earlier).  It had its advantages and disadvantages.  One good thing was that I could ask him something on tuesday, and I didn't like the answer, I could ask him again on friday and get a different answer.  :)

Fair point.

I played football for 10 years, so I got pretty used to getting yelled at. That's not such a big deal. Heck, when I was younger, I probably could have lived with having a boss who threw things at me.

These days though, I'm a little too old to put up with that kind of s--t.

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      That is definitely the down side of all this--on paper, I would offer up a second rounder for him if he passed my interviews.  He has already gone through (seriously?) a treatment program for gambling addiction.  I just see him as a first round talent that would could get with a second rounder.  If I liked Bryce and felt good about paying him $50m per, I would not touch him.  If he regresses or stays the same--he is going to expect to be paid.  Sorsby, in my view, has a better long-term future as an NFL QB.  He is big, mobile, has good arm strength, and makes wise decisions (on the field) with the football.  I think he is a perfect solution for the backup qb position and insurance for Bryce should he get injured or suck.

      Hard to say--they are very unpredictable--this article came out last night---after our comments:  (ESPN)   How has the NFL approached NCAA players with gambling violations in the past? David Purdum, sports betting reporter: Quarterback Hunter Dekkers and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte were found to have committed gambling violations while playing college football, and both were allowed to pursue NFL careers. Dekkers was the projected starting quarterback at Iowa State but was ruled ineligible ahead of the 2023 season after an investigation found he had bet on at least one game involving the Cyclones (among other wagers that violated NCAA bylaws). The bet was just $15 on Iowa State to beat Oklahoma State in a 2021 game in which he did not play, but it led to the end of his Division I career. He played one season at Iowa Western Community College in 2024 before signing with the Saints as an undrafted free agent, and he spent last season on the practice squad. Boutte was arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in January 2024 on charges of underage betting while at LSU. The arrest came roughly eight months after he had been drafted in Round 6 by the Patriots, and the charges were ultimately dropped. According to police, Boutte placed more than 8,900 wagers from April 2022 to May 2023, including betting on at least 17 college football games -- at least six of which involved LSU during that span. The NFL did not discipline Boutte.

      He did himself more harm than good by engaging in this ridiculous legal battle. One it brought to light how much gambling he was actually doing and two it made him a very unlikable figure from a public perspective because he was challenging the perceived sanctity (lol) of college sports. Then to make things worse his lawyers convinced a very stupid and very gullible old boomer judge to agree with him. Now he’s a lightning rod entering the league and that’s not a good place to be.
