So what makes one county officials word more credible than one city officials word?  

RH official was talking about his direct dealings with Tepper Sports.  2 sides of that convo.  RH's and Tepper Sports.    How does the county official know RH is lying?   

I would assume the accusation the RH offical made would actually be pretty easy to prove if it were true or made up.  I mean, ultimately if Tepper Sports wasn't providing the needed info there is going to be a paper trail.   Which is why I said time and more info would be needed before you people give Tepper a complete pass in this clusterfug. 

*unless there is new info I assume this was a comment made during the pause several weeks ago and isn't something new out this week. 

I'm not entirely sure but a bond is basically a loan right? Why would tepper sports need to tell rock hill how to secure a loan?

And there is a direct quote from a York county council member saying RH is lying.

The Councilman quoted also has isn't a fan of the current mayor, so there's that angle, too.  Not saying RH isn't at fault here, but there's too many moving parts and lack of transparency from BOTH sides to say one side or the other is to blame....

they weren't needing Tepper to tell them how to secure the bonds.  That isn't the accusation.  

To get the bonds requires submitting information and specific details about the actual project.  The accusation is Tepper wasn't supplying the specifics needed and was part of the problem.   The same guy who apparently routinely goes dark and doesn't say poo about anything.   Another accusation.  And something we have seen elsewhere from Tepper.

The bonds were for road and city infrastructure,  no? I feel again they should have that plan based on the plans tepper gave. I mean weren't the plans publicly available?

yeah, I believe he ran and lost twice to the current mayor

he also has been the most vocal and pro Panther facility guy in the area. 

hard to call him a neutral 3rd party.  In addition to the fact York County taxpayers got skin in the game too.

They definitely have the plans.  I mean... that giant bridge going over I-77 is more than halfway built.

They advised they needed more info.   And yeah, it's not unreasonable to imagine additional info might be needed than just what was made avaliable to the public.  Pretty sure when they made the accusation they also cited the type info that they were requesting from Tepper. 

The city doesn't just pull bonds out of thin air. 

again, I am not attempting to universally defend RH.  They are going to be in the wrong.  It's just odd for some to dig in so aggressisvely to Tepper having no fault in this mess.  I'd say the odds are low but time will tell.  Well, time will probably only tell if the deal never happens.

Wild part of this is that Tepper didnt even want the local govt of RH to be involved.  Per Brent Jensen.  

local government probably is tougher to deal with.  that probably is true.  Furthrer out you go the easier to get what you want.  Just look at how quick the governor made stuff happen for Tepper.

I mean, for some people to be so confident RH is lying about everything....it doesn't seem like anyone actually has paid attention to what they have said. 

they detailed the type info they requested and why it would be requested. 

I think RH was in over their head.  Tepper appears to of wanted to make sure it stayed that way.  That's the way it reads to me.   RH is at fault.  I just don't think the billionaire gets off the hook for his involvement until all the facts are on the table.

      Best and worst PFF grades from Panthers' preseason loss to Texans

      By Icege · Posted

      I'm happy with TMac, but Tyler Warren was last season's Tyler Linderbaum for me in that he was at a position that wasn't one of the five pillars but he was the best player at his position AND one of the top talents in the draft. I cannot fuging wait for the Panthers to start winning again so that those guys fall to us like they seem to for teams like Baltimore & Philadelphia.

      Panthers' content round up

      By Icege · Posted

      Still working on consuming all of these so I don't have summaries available, but I figured there might be another Huddler or three trying to kill time before tonight's final preseason game.   Panthers Blueprint: Training Camp The in-house produced Blueprint series has given behind-the-scenes look on the field and off. Start the day with Robert Hunt's family, be in the morning meetings, mic'd up players during practice (Jaycee, Rozeboom, Icky, and Bryce), roster evaluations by the staff, and plenty of camp highlights capping off with FanFest.   Processing Blue (Mike Kaye & Alex Zietlow Mike and Alex are back talking about a variety of topics including but not limited to: joint practice + preseason game vs. Houston, Trey Hendrickson trade rumors involving Carolina, training camp awards, draft pick draft, and various thoughts about the team.   Jordan & Jake 706: Opening Day Another in-house Panthers' production, the most recent episode of Jordan and Jake talk about how to properly balance intensity in practice, react to the starters being shutdown for the preseason finale, share their thoughts on the newest Panther QB, and more.   Raw Room - Ep 278 - Gas Pedal (ft. Mike Davis) Assistant special teams' coach Darren Bates' Raw Room podcast has former Panthers' RB Mike Davis on his weekly podcast. I'm about halfway through this one and it's been a lot of fun. The Raw Room guys (DB, his friend Alex Sweets, former Eagles/Chargers OT King Dunlap, and former Atlanta DB Jalen Collins) are hilarious and Mike fits right in. They talk about his football experience coming up, decommitting from Florida and how he decided on South Carolina, and more. Warning: If you're the type of person that is easily distracted by accents, despite XL being on the team, you might have issues with understanding the Memphis dialect. If you don't care about how somebody talks, just what they're talking about, tune in!

      Allen was borderline unplayable in College.  He's an absolute unicorn in terms of his career panning out the way it has.
