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.

      The ickey ekwonu question...

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      A team should always be putting at least one or two draft picks in at tackle and guard each season. Those guys just don't last nearly long enough and those that do get very, very expensive. In our situation, we need a little more time to see what the Icky injury works itself out to. Njiman performed really well out there and if this injury lingers into the next season, then he might do well enough there to hold the line for the team. Or we could draft early if there is a stud LOT in the draft when our spot comes along.  Honestly, we may be looking at replacing both LT and RT this season at this point. Moton is getting long in the tooth and while he deserves a shot to go for a playoff run with this team, I don't know whether we will really see him come back next season yet. It's still so darned early in all of this to say.

      It seems the Panthers have earned their respect back

      Because we had a ton of things go our way this year and made the playoffs with a -70 point differential.  This year was the outlier.  Regression to the mean is unavoidable.  So the team will have to significantly improve to beat 8 wins next year.

      One thing I noticed in this game (and I say this as the biggest of Bryce Young haters) is that Bryce did do a solid job of throwing into voids in this game, and leading receivers on crossers.  There were a few times where I was thinking "where the hell is he throwing it" only for a receiver to appear out of nowhere and catch it in stride.  Mike McDaniel might be a guy that can squeeze a little bit of production out of the otherwise ghastly Bryce Young. His offenses heavily feature that style of passing game.  I've heard Idzik is drawing interest from other teams.  If so, bringing McDaniel in at OC would be a stellar move.  I know it'll never happen, but fun to think about.
