So good that he has his own football team to run it for him.

True :)

One thing I think is certain: Fans are about to be engaged by and invested in the team at a level they haven't been in a long, long time.  Maybe ever.

He looks to be a great owner for us. After JR and with many owners being complete douches (Jerry Jones, Jim Irsay, Robert McNair) I hoped for the best but was prepared and feared for the worst. Tepper could really be the real deal, which I am ecstatic about. I just don't want to put this guy on a pedestal and enable him the way JR was enabled to be a complete phony. If he keeps being a great dude, I'll be a fan.

The fact that Tepper said a lot today about keeping fans in the stadium tells me he wants fans involved and invested.

You can foresee a lot of good things coming out of that.

He never skirted a question.  Even the public funding question was answered to a degree.  He’s a like able guy that is most likely a shrewd negotiator which does not bode well for opponents of publicly funding a stadium.  

Probably a couple years away but I think he will approach it with a win win philosophy and things won’t get nasty.

Yeah, that was one of two or three questions I think annoyed him a little.

Gantt's question did too, and he sounded a little miffed responding to Katie Peralta.

      Sorsby and the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      I read that Pittsburgh is a possibility.  I think of college QB studs who had some form of mental quirk yet tons of talent--but their issue made being a team leader difficult and it led to their demise--going back:  Jamarcus Russell, Art Schlichter, Jeff George, etc. I think people forget that the QB must not only have talent, but they must lead.

      I wish I knew more details, but the NIL money to 20-year olds combined with easy access to gambling sites is a side effect that these kids may not have considered.  To your point,A famous 2009 Sports Illustrated article titled “How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke” estimated that 78% of retired NFL players go bankrupt or face significant financial stress within two years of leaving the league.  I am guessing that ego and $$$ and the thrill of competition (most pro athletes love competition because they are the winners) makes it a powerful temptation.  Throw in the ease of gambling on your phone which is always in your hand, and I see your point x 10.

      Freeling got some reps at RT when they gave Moton a rest day--I sorta hope Freeling gets brought along slowly as you describe.  It would be better for him for reasons you provide.  We have a really good problem.
