Tepper knowingly and intentionally entered this deal with a city that everyone knew could face some hiccups/issues in regards to the project.  Was talked about before it ever started.    

and we don’t know the facts and talks yet between both parties.  It’s silly to go all in on a side being right/wrong IMO right now.  I suspect both will rightfully look bad in the end. 
 

 

All the info I’ve seen has been very consistent. I’ve heard a few York County councilmen admit that rock hill defaulted. That’s why york scrambled so fast to create a new deal last month.

This entire thing is simple. Rock Hill wanted the project, Covid hit, rockhill couldn’t pay.

I don’t think either side was up to something malicious, but contracts are still contracts.

Huh? That’s not selective.  That’s just life/people.  

when this blows up officially….we get more info.  Because the hopes of completing it is gone from the equation. 

The safe bet is both sides look pretty bad in the end.  That ain’t radical or bias.   Some folks jumping way too quick on the it is ALL Rock Hill to blame and none to Tepper bandwagon. 

we still know very little.  Later we will know more.  It is what it is.  Seems knowing more would put us in better position to take a stand on this topic.   

Whatever

Well there is info York County came in and had a deal the Panthers agreed to and that the Panthers told RH not to issue bonds.  That doesn’t sound consistent. 

RH is clearly going to be in the wrong.  I’m not willing to make Tepper an innocent victim at this stage though.

The York county deal came in after construction stopped. They are upset because the panthers never responded to it.

The part about RH being told not to issue the bonds (1 year after the deadline btw) hasn’t been repeated. I saw the same thing but I think that was a quote from just one politician. No other confirmations on that.

Just build it in Charlotte. If I were a player I wouldn't want to have to drive all the time to get to practice. I know RH is like ... right there, but if you can't go there or Fort Mill you may as well just keep it near BOA. Or by the lake. No clue where most players have their season house. Put it next to Carowinds. Turn it into an attraction like Orlando does.

It needs to be said this is not about the S.C. Fan base. This is about an agreement between two entities that one party did not live up to. This could have been any town (city) in N.C. That made the same agreement and reneged on. There is a reason the Panthers were named the “Carolina Panthers” and not the Charlotte Panthers. As someone who lives 120 miles from Charlotte, I have numerous friends who have PSL’s. The Panthers fan base needs this regional fan base for merchandising and many other reasons. The fact that the Panthers draw many fans from outside Charlotte proper is often overlooked. If Tepper Sports does eventually ask for funding for a new stadium I imagine the state of NC will be asked to provide some level of funding. Something to think about.

Members of the Council.   They said the Panthers were brought and a deal was agreed upon.  Then the Panthers changed their minds on it and it never became formal. I

#FakeNews

Edit: I do see one quote where a person purportedly speaking on behalf the city said the Panthers “asked us to stop” the bond issuance…

…but that comment/position is completely illogical and has never been confirmed elsewhere.

I just don’t buy it.

lot of stuff is just one guy saying it though.  

from what I read the Panthers were brought in and agreed to the deal YC made with them.   It wasn't just a proposal.  Then had a change of heart.  And never signed it. 

I'd like to know more about that before I give Tepper a total pass on this thing.

      Not only for Andersen but the whole team, having not beat the Habs this season before tonite.  Shows them that they aren't jinxed.

      I understand why people say things like it could be worse in relation to Tepper but it just doesn't jive for me. Are the optics bad? Yes. Would I want her to be the owner of my team? No. But I mean she's only been owner for a year and the Colts overall are a better run organization. As far as I know they've also never had the distinction of having the worst win percentage in all of professional sports either. Tepper has owned this team for 8 years and about the only thing that has been consistent has been the ability to continue to find different ways to achieve new lows. Even now people are saying things are different yada yada but we said these same things at certain points under Rhule Fitterer and Reich. I'm going to wait to see how the rubber meets the road this upcoming season before I make any strong conclusions about anything in relation to the longevity under this franchise going forward.

      Sorsby and the supplemental draft

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      This is a toughie because I wonder what a guy like Canales thinks about redemption stories for addiction issues. Also, I think this is a case of 1 player getting caught, and not being naive enough to think this isn't more common in college than we think. I'd toss a 3rd rounder out there. 2026 is essentially a redshirt season regardless, so he's not taking over for any NFL QB next year. Best case, he's ready to go in 2027 if we pass on Bryce's extension. Worst case, he's our future backup QB2. Kid has the tools to be an NFL QB. I do think we could somehow land a '26 3rd round pick back in a trade. Our past years' third rounders are: Brazzell Princely Wallace DJ Johnson Matt Corral All this to say, I could see a team like the Jets going w/ a 2nd. They have three FRPs next year.
