Panthers owner David Tepper buys John Fox’s Quail Hollow mansion for $5.35 million

https://charlotte.axios.com/234660/panthers-owner-david-tepper-buys-john-foxs-quail-hollow-mansion-for-5-35-million/

That isn't his primary residence.  That basically his apartment for when he shows up in Charlotte.   He just bought a 70 million dollar home in FL.

My personal pipe dream is that the NFL forces Stephen Ross to sell the Dolphins and Tepper decides he'd rather own them than the Panthers.

There was a rumor that one of the Walton family heirs might be interested in buying the Broncos. Maybe he could take the Panthers from Tepper instead. Don't remember the exact amount, but his reported net worth made Tepper look like a small business owner.

 

 

(I can dream) 😕

Tepper is going to turn the entire state of SC against the Panthers by the time the season starts.

Smart business move.

Tepper probably realized he can just have training camp in Charlotte and that all the SC stuff was pointless fluff that wouldn't impact his bottom line.  Jerry wanted to be in SC.  Tepper probably realizes it isn't needed.  He can just burn Wofford and then RH and it not actually impact him.

So it's an 800M project, Rock Hill bids 250M to have it in Rock Hill becuase they really want it there, they make a deal with the team, they renege, and somehow Tepper is the scummy person here

Two sides to the story right now and we don't have the truth. 

RH claims Tepper's plans have impacted the ability to secure the bonds.  And he refuses to talk to them.   If true, that wouldn't just be RH being a bad actor. 

Truth normally in the middle.

No but at least NC will value what the franchise brings to the region and honor  whatever is agreed upon

RH politicians will put all the blame on Tepper and get re-elected.

They will certainly know what’s at stake if they don’t. 
 

Its times like these that I wish Darrin Gantt was able to really speak his mind.

RH missed a deadline to issue bonds, the deadline was extended, they missed that too.  They were talking that whole time.    Then they pointed fingers at Tepper. 

The real sad part, there were a lot of communities around Charlotte who would love to have this project and wouldn't keep dicking the Panthers around, default on their obligations, blame everyone but themselves, and then complain that Tepper won't keep talking with them when all they want to talk about is how they aren't going to meet their obligations...and "hey you're a billionaire could you cover it?"

Its a dick move.

Tepper should have chosen a different community.  Its clear whatever RH is offering at this point, it will be hard to trust them.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Can't keep pining for what never happened....but for god sakes, DeJean, Frazier... and we got this dude in a R1 trade up.  The most notable blunder of this era, that's for sure.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.
