After more than three hours of debate Monday night, York County Council narrowly voted to approve its end of a package that clears the way for the NFL team to move its headquarters and practice facilities from Charlotte to an undeveloped site off I-77 between Cherry Road and Dave Lyle Boulevard.

Gantt isn't exactly the world's biggest fan of taxpayer money going to things that are owned by guys like David Tepper.

To be perfectly honest, he doesn't really seem to be all that big a fan of David Tepper in general.

Taxpayer money should not be going to buildings owned by billionaires. And then those same tax payers get charged to go see a game inside that same building. And did I forget to mention that a drink will probably cost $5-10

Ah, ok, I see what happened there.  The reason everyone is pissed is because Tepper didn't just buy the land for the facility.  He bought all the land around it as well, and then got that land included in the tax breaks.  Basically, he can now develop or sell that land and it's at a competitive advantage over any other area in the county.

This is also now Teppers leverage when he wants to build a new stadium.  He "could" now build it in York county.  Sure, I think it's a mistake and he'll learn what the Knights learned.  The question is will the city and county leaders have the balls to call his bluff when he tries to use it.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
