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.

      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.
