Because he was joking with the media guys filming him about it, and other things.

When's the last time Jerry Richardson joked with the media, or talked to them at all, even before the scandal?

Why does any of that matter?

I definitely like him because he just seems so authentic and real.  Doesn't come across as a, because I am rich, I am better than you type of guy.  I am sure he has friends that aren't rich and just share some of his passions, like being a fan of football. I believe that he treats people well as evidenced by his strong belief in the importance of charity.  

[Mr. Scot]

I got a definite vibe of "demanding" in the presser.

That meshes with what others have said about him having incredibly high performance standards.

As far as his nickname, I don't see why "Tep" won't work.

"If I'm moving someplace and we're doing this in Carolina, the first thing I care about is winning. The second thing I care about is winning. And the third thing I care about is...you guys are smart. That's on and off the field. That includes the charity aspect, the community aspect and how we make a community better. You win in a lot of ways, and I don't like to lose in any way."

I get the feeling we should probably remember those words.

After that speech, I might call him Charlie Sheen.

I have a sneaky suspicion that there will be a lot of current FO people that will not like this guy.   I predict that by the end of July there will be some new faces around BOA and some here are not going to like it.

Matters to some, won't matter to others.  Like most everything.

I personally like that he is willing to give the media (thus us) some idea of what he is like.  First impressions can be important.  He comes across as intelligent and rich and someone who hasn't forgotten his roots.

For the record i was in the minirity who loved and wanted this guy from the start

[Mr. Scot]

Guessing our new friend @Midtown_Doornail might have a few items to contribute to this discussion.

Not at all.
