That’s always been my gut feeling.  Tepper essentially admitted and came into the NFL immediately believing  X, Y and Z were what needed to be done. Then time showed he was wrong on some of those beliefs.  I think the RH project is an example of that.   Time went on and it looked dumber and dumber to him.  

The report basically said when he saw a small crack to escape the contract, he darted for the exist.

I dont get how tepper looks bad in this.  He made the deal with RH and they essentially backed out midway through.   He is light years ahead of a poo town named Rock Hill in making these types of deals.  He twisted them up and when they figured they got the short end of the stick it was too late

RH got played by Tepper.  He asked them to hold and did not liked the time of bond they were getting.

This is a bad look for both Tepper and York county. I am guessing that Rock Hill attempted a rug pull half way through assuming Tepper would be to invested to pull out. 

Its definitely bad PR for Tepper, probably moreso than Rock Hill/York County.  Regardless of what really went down, it looks bad from the outside for Tepper.  If the team starts turning things around and winning games, probably won't matter much in the long run.  But if they don't, then the list of negatives is going to start piling up.

Small crack?  They didnt want to pay their part.  Some of you guys need to do some more research before you post in here

They did.  They were ready to secure the bond but were told to hold off.  Go on first few pages and read.  There’s a reason he’s doing bankruptcy on his real estate company.  So he won’t get sued.

I mean, you sort of answered the question. 
 

he is the owner of the Carolina Panthers.  So, looking to twist up small time RH in some poo deal….doesn’t seem like the ideal move if you don’t want to look bad in your community.   And whatever you think of SC….that’s his market/community.  Especially one that is essentially a Charlotte suburb as this point.

On Thursday morning, York County issued a statement noting the bankruptcy protection lists the county as one of the creditors. That’s because of GT Real Estate’s and the county’s agreement to upgrade a section of Mt. Gallant Road bordering the new headquarters property, according to the county release. The county put up $21 million for the project, the release states.

“We believe those funds will be returned in full with interest, and county taxpayers are protected,” the county said in its news release. “We were prepared for this action, and fully expect a positive outcome for our citizens.”

#FakeNews

how do you know that.   

Tepper and company have been asked about that allegation and have refused to comment.  I believe that still holds true to date.  So how do you know it isn’t true if Tepper is unwilling to comment when specifically asked?

Tepper is a multibillionaire and a NFL owner.  PR is going to be worse for him regardless of who is right and who is wrong.

The Chapter 11 filing lists contractor Mascaro/Barton Malow as the largest creditor, with an unsecured claim of $26,809,900, which the document notes is disputed. Also disputed is the second-largest claim, $20 million from York County, S.C., that is listed as unsecured. And architect Populous’ $784,534 unsecured claim is also listed as disputed.

The league has very conservative finance rules, though they apparently won’t apply to a bankruptcy filing by an owner’s company unconnected legally to the team. GT Real Estate is registered in North Carolina.

Its 2022 annual report filed with the secretary of state lists Tepper as the only officer, with no mention of the team or his sports holding company. Its 2019 organizing registration filed with the state was signed by Jeffrey Kaplan, an executive at Tepper’s hedge fund company.

But the league could be concerned about the image of its wealthiest owner using the bankruptcy code to avoid paying, at least fully, contractors he hired, did work, and then weren’t needed.

    • What is your personal grade of this draft?
    • No disrespect intended, but you act as if we are supposed to value your opinion when it is all emotion and no fact.  The roster (I assume you mean offense) is "still trash" because someone who just signed up for the Huddle has declared it to be so?   Buhahaha.  ha.  Let me show you how FACTS work, and why emotional, unsupported opinions don't carry much weight: TE: Upgraded through the draft.  Sanders is a weapon that should improve the passing game and give Bryce an outlet he did not have last year. RB:  We just drafted the best RB in college football, one who can protect the passer, run the ball, and catch the ball like nobody else on the roster.  His knee will be cleared July 1.  OL: We just signed two of the best guards in football.  that is what Payton did to protect Brees.  Ekwonu has the skill and talent, he was simply missing technique.  We got him a better OL coach.  Center?  Bozeman was ineffective last year.  Corbett is an established veteran OLman.  It seems we are much better up front. WR:  We added a guy who gets open and has averaged about 900 yards per game as a #2 in Pittsburgh with an inferior QB there.  Thielen was a 1000 yard WR last season.  We have not had a #2 like XL, with his YAC capabilities and ability to catch contested passes.  In other words, the X is much better; the Z will be replaced with a stud WR, and the veteran slot will probably not be the #1 WR in 2024--he should be the #2 or even #3 most effective WR.  The 2023 Z WR, who had 418 yards and was showing signs of improving, will not be a starter in 2024.   As much as the OL has improved, we improved the weapons.  QB:  All of these additions increase levels of protection for the QB that he did not have last year and they give him more powerful weapons that he did not have last year.  Young will not be a rookie getting hammered trying to throw to people who are not separating.  This should make him improved.  How much? remains to be seen. Now keep in mind that we did this by not reworking contracts and kicking the can down the road.  We did not have a first rounder in the draft.  We added a second rounder to next year's draft.  We also addressed needs on defense as well, adding established DL, OLBs, ILBs, and DBs.  We get 2 first round pick starters who were injured most of the season back on that defense.  Yes, we lost Burns, Luvu, and a few others, but while being good players, they were either asking for too much money or they were not great fits for the system.  So the D should be better as well. That is not trash.
