170 million is around 1% of his net worth. to put that into consideration, tons of people on this board are probably spending 15-20% of their net worth annually on an oversized truck they have no need for (that was purchased because they're insecure and decided to buy a personality) and would HAPPILY walk away from if they could. 

sunk cost is a thing too

Yes, its is only 1% but you know how rich people are with money, losing $100 is a big deal.

The one that I quoted.

i must have missed it in this thread, its 25 pages long... so pardon my oversight. 

I am just curious if you had an example of Tepper being petty. It would be interesting to read about how he is perceived as a petty person.

Meh, I think this all gets worked out.  I think Tepp went into this deal knowing this was going to happen.  I mean, who the hell thought RH could pony up $225m in the first place?  It's Rock Hill!!  Tepper is bluffing and he's sending a message to CLT to get ready and bend over.  Yeah, he could pull the plug and have some financial losses, but his and the team's image will take more of a hit than his pocket book if they do move on from RH, even though it's not their fault RH couldn't pay in the first place.

“billionaire” = “petty”

It’s a mutually inclusive condition, I’m surprised you didn’t know this 🤦‍♂️🤣.

Just so you know, billionaires also aren’t allowed to hold the other side to their contractual obligations during the execution of a business deal…

…if said deal gets sideways due to lack of performance by the other side — the billionaire is expected to simply keep moving forward and fund the other side’s obligations too.

These are only 2 of at least a dozen immutable laws/conditions codified in The Official Billionaire’s Behaviorsaurus as published by The Huddle Society of Billionaire Haters…

…carry on 👋👍

The news station in Spartanburg SC reported this morning that things have been worked out and construction is a go for the site.  Who knows who caved but I suspect it was SC officials. 

Probably the SC Governor meeting with Tepper yesterday. The state of SC is probably going to kick in to the project to get it done. That's my guess.

I think he will more than willing to walk away.  He will use it as a example for when he wants a new stadium.  He can always use it as a tax right off. 

Not having this complex in Rock Hill will at least make the threat of leaving Charlotte more plausible.

      Wilmington hockey?

      Especially with no other major sports in the area other than UNCW basketball and soccer. It's a good 2 1/2 hour drive just to catch a collegiate football game. If this new arena were built I would hope it also includes an Adult League - I would join up and time allowing would be more than happy to help coach some youth teams. 😄

      That was real fear in his eyes when the rope was being taken. My younger days, I had my best friend that happened to be black come over all the time. I had the nicest bulldog on the planet, my friend Damon was scared to death of him. His grandmother and daddy taught him to fear all dawgs and seen the same fear in his face and voice.    I think alllll young kids should take swimming lessons and not fear the water. Very thankful my parents did this, I no longer get in the ocean since its 50% sewage. But I enjoyed all the lakes, pools, and oceans I swam in.

      My personal opinion is the non-guaranteed contract is the main reason for NFL success. MLB and NBA players are on cruise control after their big contracts and it shows in the product.  NFL is each year you are fighting for your job. Same for the majority of the public.... You get lazy or try to coast after the 100+ million contract, your ass will be cut within 1-2 years. Then the next one will not even touch 100 million+. Besides a few NBA players like Kobe was coming for blood with a 300 million contract or 1 doll hair deal. Brandy Beal just reached a buyout where he was getting 110 million, many other cases..... I dare say his name for the hornets guy..... MLB sooo many times as well.    If the NFL starts fully guaranteeing all contracts, Id have a new hobby to fill the hours of entertainment NFL gave me.
