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.

      I am curious to see if Warren is the elite player that the Huddle Warren stans believe. I am always fairly wary of these first round TE's.

      The Rossi things isn't going away, either... https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/3312416/unfinished-business-7-players-to-watch-in-back-half-of-nhl-offseason The Wild and Rossi shouldn't be having any trouble hammering out an extension. Rossi, an RFA turning 24 in September, recorded the second-most points on the team last season (60 in 82 games). The smart, skilled, highly competitive 5-foot-9 Austrian is a homegrown top-six center. Minnesota has $10 million in cap space and no other significant spots to fill to finalize its 2025-26 roster. Problems lurk below the surface, however. Coach John Hynes demoted Rossi to the fourth line in the playoffs, dropping his nightly usage from 18 minutes in the regular season to 11 in the first-round series loss to Vegas. GM Bill Guerin's top to-do list item at the moment is to lock up Kirill Kaprizov. The superstar winger, who's been eligible for an extension since July 1, is due for Leon Draisaitl-type money (around $14 million average annual value) starting in 2026-27. Guerin has said there's no rush to sign, trade, or match an offer sheet for Rossi. If he stays, a short-term extension makes sense, since it gives both player and team flexibility. If he leaves, a trade is far more likely than an offer sheet. Half of the league could use a second-line center, and Rossi still has upside. The Hurricanes desperately need to upgrade at 2C (Jesperi Kotkaniemi isn't going to cut it) and have plenty of cap space. Ditto for the Sabres, who picked Jack Quinn one spot before Rossi went to the Wild in the 2020 draft. Mammoth bench boss Andre Tourigny coached Rossi in junior, and they don't have as much wiggle room, but trading top-six winger Nick Schmaltz (plus a pick) could make the math work. Guerin wants to make a so-called "hockey trade" here.
