In-between having lunch once a week with David Tepper, right?

No, never met him (but he was a customer of our firm).

The public funds are for the infrastructure. 

The more you know....

My take it was an agreement to reimburse Tepper for building the infrastructure the state would take over.  Otherwise they would get it for free, much like NC does on smaller developments.  Something on this scale is a small city.  The town would make money off the utilities and from taxes levied on everyone but Tepper. 

I'm sure I'm missing a lot of benefits to the county and state to line their pockets. But it's not unusual.

To be frank! The people with criticism of Tepper Sports & Entertainment for terminating the previous agreement have to realize before they can agree on a new proposal the previous has to be terminated! Terminating the previous agreement shows that Tepper/Tepper Sports & Entertainment is ready to sit-down and iron out a new agreement!

It’s the billionaire way of doing things. If you don’t like the first deal then just make a new one and screw some people over in the process to save a few dollars.

The blame game is now in full force. SC politicians are blaming Tepper for taking 80M of their money.  Called him a "narcissistic ego driven" owner who has billed the taxpayer's for 80 million.  This is going to get interesting. 

This was on the local SC news station just now.

There will be a lawsuit.  NFL has communicated many times prior that this is something they are trying to avoid.  I can assure you the NFL is looking into it as well.

Tepper has been a massive bust as NFL owner and has been clowned by reporters.

I thought I read that SC has yet to pay a dime for the construction. How did Tepper steal their money? 
 

tone: honest curiosity

The SC legislator they stuck a microphone in front of said "they built an interchange to nowhere" so I assume it had to do with that.

what a tough situation to judge... one hand you have a bullhorned billionaire, and the other shitty polticians. First one to leak the contract might be the winner of public opinion....

 

Any Rock Hill citizens on here with a close opinion to this? After all your voice does matter in this situation.

Nonsense. 

He liked the 1st deal...but Rock Hill didn't follow through on their obligations. 

You completely misunderstood @razorwolf's insightful and accurate post.

    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
    • Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?
    • Bro I don't mind debating you, but did you really have to write all that to get your point across.   This isn't Madden. If you have the #1 pick you literally control your own destiny. If nobody wants to trade which I have a hard time believing they won't then you obviously take the best QB.   I think we will have suitors. If that's Madden then so be it.
