Or Tina Becker

Beat reporters confirmed she was the one voting for the Panthers on any and all league issues. That's been true for a while, even before the scandal.

Of course, lots of people believe she's just Richardson's proxy.

This will have been her last vote.

Pretty sure anyone in his shoes would have done the same thing. He’s not breaking new ground by finding out what it is he just spent over 2B on

Why the negative post?

Seriously.

Why not?

because he has no authority to meet with players, staff, etc until the sale is finalized in July.

He probably invited them to meet and they accepted the invitation.  I doubt there is any clause that says he cannot meet with the players until July.

I think it was a smart move.  This is a divisive issue.  The sooner the players know he is concerned, the better.

Doesn't need authority to meet with players as long as current team officials are on board. Thrilled he didn't wait until July to discuss this.  Shows great respect for the players that he wants to hear from them on this, especially when the league as a whole gave players no say in this vote.

What authority does one need? What are you talking about?

[ickmule]

Sure is a little too much stupid in this thread.  Who cares why he did it ? I would have done the same thing.

It's called leadership. You throw down 2.3 billion and will be the person leading the team once the season starts and you want to begin the relationship with the players then you are thinking right.
