Letters from Tepper

I normally don't listen to Frank Garcia, but I was wanting to catch one of his interviews last week. (Forget who). Must've been Friday after opening night practice. Everyone was gushing abt Tepper dancing, etc. and comparing to JR. Frank reminded everyone that there's a big difference between 62 and 82 and that JR used to love hanging on the field with the guys.

I'm no JR apologist, but that age difference is an important point.

Jerry wasn't always 80 years old.

From the time the team began up until (I believe) he had his heart transplant, Richardson was known for visiting tailgates and engaging fans on game day.

I don't really recall him walking the sidelines at training camp practices. Whenever he was at camp, he always seemed to be on a golf cart.

I sure as hell never saw him dance.

He definitely did not.  

Yes he did

Jerry sent me a handwritten letter several years ago.

I got one from JR too. Hand written. Bought him a lot of rope from me for a long time.

Awesome!

It should give pause to even the staunchest of Richardson supporters. It's like, "Why haven't I experienced such personableness from the owner before? This is how it should have been all along."

I think that he's going to invest more of everything, including time to personally thank customers.

JR wrote many handwritten letters throughout the years to PSL owners...

I wonder if he personally signed them, as the lady seemed to emphasize that in her post as a distinction.

Do you guys think the good deeds jerry has done outweigh the bad or vice versa?

Makes a lot of sense to hand write out the content of the letter and then stamp the signature on, huh?

I received Tepper's letter, too. But he addressed my by my first name.

Mine included a couple framed strands of his chest hair.

Anyone who expects someone as busy as Tepper to handsign thousands of form letters is nuts.

So apparently Tepper is sending letters out to some of the fans (I'm guessing PSL owners but it wasn't specified). One recipient posted hers on Twitter, adding that the signature looks to have been handwritten rather than copied.

 

Amber is a friend of mine and was at camp with us Saturday night. We actually compared a few letters and determined they definitely were not hand-signed. Still a cool gesture.
