I am grateful to Richardson for bringing a NFL team to the Carolinas, but he really seems to be an arrogant, sexist, and racist prick.  I admit I defended him for a while, just believing him to be an old-school guy, when the truth is that he is a pie

We all should be thankful everything transpired as it did and we ended up with Tepper.  Certainly there are unknowns about his next coach is going to turn out, but from a business and personal standpoint, he appears to be a massive, massive upgrade over "Mr. Richardson."

I’m right there in that boat with you buddy. I thought Richardson was a class guy based on what I knew, which admittedly wasn’t much that matters. Was extremely disappointing to be confronted with a lot of evidence that he seems to be a giant douche. Now grateful I’m not giving him undue respect based on a facade.

Hoping Tepper turns out better in any number of ways.

If David Tepper did this people would be laughing about his brass balls and toughness.

Can't speak for everyone, but I can honestly say I wouldn't.

Tepper sticking people with the check for lunches and dinners is kinda funny, mind you, but that's more of a mischievous thing. This comes off as aloof and disrespectful.

I met Richardson briefly, only once, upstairs club level While he was on his way to his box.... Panthers Bears games and I brought  a business associate  who was a Bears fan with a Bears jersey on  and I had a Smith Jersey on

His driver stopped his golf cart, JR broke into a big smile when he saw the surprise on our faces and joked about watching who I associated with, funny now

he was very nice  during that Interaction.   You never know about people 

one thing I did share with him was a dislike of Dan Snyder.  It was so obvious when you could see them at BofA thus he wasn’t all bad lol

According to the story about the Los Angeles thing, he bashed and mocked  Rams Owner Stan Kroenke pretty hard in a meeting with Dean Spanos.

IMO People are seldom what they appear to be at that level 

most of them don’t become rich because they are nice people or because they have integrity 

put nicely, they are societal acceptable versions of Tony Soprano

No argument. There's an image that they present to the public, but it's not necessarily anything close to the real person.

Obviously, the revelations of recent years have told us that we didn't really know Jerry Richardson as well as we thought we did.

And hey, it's not like stories of rich and famous people being a--holes are exactly hard to find.

      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.
