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.

      Unsustainable

      It's not sustainable,  although he deserve credit for the win also, as he made clutch plays as he does with every win we have.

      The Panthers win streak is masking substandard quarterback play

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      As much as I would love to sit here and bash on Young.  I can't.   He is absolutely a part of this team winning.  He is the cool hand leading the offense along with the hammer, Rico.  He's making plays on 3rd and 4th downs, that are absolutely helping thus team win.  Is Bryce playing as well as we'd like? Nope. Although he had only 1 week off from a high ankle sprain.   No question he was 100% in the Greenbay game.  I'm not even sure where the team would find a clear upgrade over Byrce.  He is a leader.  In the 4th quarter, he has ice in his veins.  He is a part of why our team is enjoyable to watch again.  Without him, we wouldn't be winning.    Anyways.  Y'all enjoy yet another thread designed to tear down the man.

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!
