Tepper is the guy who was quite happy to tell the South Carolina legislature "No problem, we'll build it in Charlotte".  If he's involved the the NFLPA negotiations, he'd probably be happy to tell them "No problem, we'll bring in replacement players".  He seems like a super no-nonsense kinda guy.

I wonder when he will bring out the Panther special: Pie charts

tbqh I'm almost at the point where I say let the league fold

I mean, it was fun to have the Panthers in my life for the 25 years they would have been in it then and I will always have the memories.

But, I tire of the arguments of both sides in this fight.

Few fans, if any, will give replacement players much validity. I am old enough to remember the scabs, and it wasn't really pretty.

This happens in basically every professional sport that is unionized. This also happens in businesses that have unions.

It's a very large mutual loss for both parties if there is no NFL for a year. Not much to see here, it happens basically every CBA cycle. It is what it is.

I can assure you I will not watch a bunch of JAG's play an entire NFL season. They can count me out on that poo.

I realize as much. I think it was my way of saying that it could fold and I wouldn't care, and that I think I'm slowly outgrowing football.

Also, I think it'll be an obsolete sport in my lifetime anyway. I think the money goes into another form of the  industry, perhaps virtual, which will eventually be obsolete as well.

I think society as a whole is realizing we have bigger problems, and better/more constructive outlets of escapism/entertainment available to us. More people are seeing professional sports for the capitalist giants they have become, and are turning away from them.

At least I hope so, on all of the above.

In the end, it's just the fans that get hurt. The players will get more money, the owners will still get gobs of revenue by jacking up ticket prices and other revenue streams. We get more expensive tickets, more expensive memorabilia and possibly an even less interesting version of the game.

 

Now if the fans would strike...

      Canales is in most critical point of his tenure

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      Canales is in the middle of the most critical point of his Panthers tenure: The 2nd half of the 2nd season. Looking back here is how the other head coaches performed to this point and how their time here pivoted. Dom Capers First 26 Games: 13-13 2nd Half of 2nd Season: (1996) won final 7 games to win division, took Panthers to NFC Championship Game. Final Record/Accomplishments: 30-34; NFC West Division Title-1996 George Seifert First 26 Games: 12-14 2nd Half of 2nd Season: (2000) Finished 3-3 with mixed results in games; finished 1-15 the following season. Final Record/Accomplishments: 16-32; None. John Fox First 26 Games: 15-11 2nd Half of 2nd Season: (2003) corrected the season after a strong start and mid-year stumble to win division, Won NFC Championship Game. Final Record/Accomplishments: 73-71; (1) Conference Championship; (3) Playoff Appearances; (2) Division Titles. Ron Rivera First 26 Games: 8-18 2nd Half of 2nd Season: (2012) Won 5/6 remaining games; finished 12-4 following season and won division. Final Record/Accomplishments: 76-63-1; (1) Conference Championship; (4) Playoff Appearances; (3) Division Titles; (2) COY Awards Matt Rhule First 26 Games: 10-16 2nd Half of 2nd Season: (2021) Lost final 7 games in a row, terminated 5 games into following season. Final Record/Accomplishments: 11-27; None. Dave Canales First 26 Games: 10-16 2nd Half of 2nd Season: TBD Final Record/Accomplishments: TBD The writing was on the wall at the end of Rhule and Seifert’s 2nd season, while Capers, Fox, and Rivera all finished strong and rallied. To be fair, Capers 1997 and 1998 seasons weren’t great, but he was faced with adversity and still managed to leave with at least one successful season...thanks to the second half of his 2nd season.

      Honestly unless the Packers WR in the end zone was disqualified from tackling, he was literally right behind him ready to tackle him at the 5 yard line. Probably better he dropped it field position wise unless people think Mike Jack has Ted Ginn speed or something.
