Pretty much. 

Put it this way: Do those things sound more like they'd come from someone age fifty or age fifteen?

(Tepper is sixty)

And let's be real: If you had ten billion dollars, could I expect to see you acting like a mature adult all the time?

I don't act like a mature adult with $10 in my wallet.

Granted. I was just trying to provide an illustration... :thinking:

In all seriousness, am I the only one a bit confused by this? The NFL reportedly pushes the current owner out and requests he "disappear" from the league due to harassment allegations only to approve a guy to replace him who hangs brass testicles in his office and throws breast implants at people in their place of employment (which I might add, appears to be a celebrated trait by quite a few people).  

I personally don't care one way or the other but its certainly a headscratcher for me. I guess Tepper being in the club already made the path to approval a bit easier which is fine. People get preferential treatment all the time in life which I have never had a problem with.

You're not the only one to mention that.

Far as I know, Tepper's never been accused of anything improper. Now granted, him being in charge of his own private company, he would have been in a position to pick people who'd have been comfortable with his sense of humor to work close to him.

All that said, pretty sure those things aren't coming with him to the Panthers offices. In the wake of the Jerry Richardson scandal, that would just be a bad idea.

      Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.

      I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

      I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us.

      From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
