Charlotte “unlikely” to contribute taxpayer money for new Panthers headquarters

Or Jay-Z. Then, he and Rhule could have been on the same 7 year plan!

Jay Z became a superstar 2 years after his debut album.  

Jay Z would fire Matt Rhule 

Matt Rhule uses creative math.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t Navarro vetted and the other owners came to the conclusion to exclude him because they didn’t like the way he became a billionaire? Something along the lines of predatory lending and buying up debts off companies and suing the poo out of the the delinquents and taking everything that they had? 

Don't know that they had any issues with Navarro so much as they just really wanted Tepper.

They told one of the other bidders (Michael Rubin, maybe) that he didn't need to continue unless he was prepared to spend 5 billion. He wasn't, so he dropped out. And then of course the team sold for far less than that.

Navarro did have the 💵 💰 💵 

Neither did Rubin, Kestenbaum, Sabates, or anyone else...

...it was a one 🐎 race all along 😎👊.

Not actually true. Other bidders had the funds. As I recall, Tepper actually would have been the lowest bidder.

Unfortunately for us, he was who the NFL wanted so we're stuck with the Horsesh-t Model 🦄

💵 💰 on hand and some sort of contrived "net-worth" number are two completely different animals...

...there was one thoroughbred 🐎 in the race...

...and a whole bunch of 🦨 🦨🦨... 🤣

 

The other "bidders" didn't have the funds to close so what they may or may not have bid is not relevant...

...there was only one legit bid with funding in place & ready to close 🐎👊.

They should just go ahead and get you on the payroll. Make it official.

Its a total different deal when one guy can back up a brinks truck loaded with real cash and the other two groups are filled with people showing you paperwork. Most are full of lies and take a long process to get to the brinks truck.

I agree with the other poster who said that Rock Hill is basically a microcosm of what Tepper is planning. You either pay up or he will play hardball. 

For the record, I think this gets done and the Panthers stay in Charlotte. But I don't think it's a 100% lock. 

Maybe more like 70-30%.

Rubin since bought ownership stakes in both the Philadelphia 76ers and the New Jersey Devils. He also sold a company he founded for more money than Tepper paid for the Panthers.

As far as thoroughbreds, if Robson Walton buys the Broncos (very real possibility) he's going to become the new richest owner in the NFL. His net worth makes Tepper look lower middle class.

That the NFL is courting him is probably a good sign they realize David Tepper isn't what they hoped he'd be.

    • No lie… to this day, and forever, I’m always still gonna love me some Ted Ginn.  I tell people all the time who aren’t Panther fans so they don’t know - Ted legit was our best receiver during Cam’s tenure here.
    • That game made me resign from my position as HC of UNC in my solo football dynasty on NCAA26.
    • Nah, what he did in Cleveland was damn impressive.     ain’t no way in hell we (it’s my alma mater) should’ve looked like this tonight.  That was piss poor coaching and piss poor playing.  Like they said, for both teams, this was a similar setting to when TCU played Colorado when Deion was hired.  TCU coming in to play a game against a super famous football celebrity figure with a completely overhauled roster - difference is, Colorado played up to the moment.  We just folded like a cheap lawn chair.  I was joking during the game with friends, like they really watched a whole summer of Gio and Max and decided Gio was the starter?  Hell, I bet Bryce Baker as a freshman is better than Gio.  We hyped that signing of Gio like we just won the fuging lottery, and he is complete ass.  We spent two quarters desperately not trying to throw the football - I don’t know if it’s because he can’t or what?  But there was no excuse for that.  It felt so much like the Rhule years here.  I haven’t seen such a dysfunctional offense since or before.  And then the damn defense…. I asked my friend if they just brought all 70 new guys in from a lab that does arm and leg transplants because did these guys just receive their limbs and are figuring out how to use them???  Because I have never seen a whole team look so inept.  Diving early at feet and missing them entirely, getting trucked, flailing and falling everywhere, peewee league arm tackles, always looking a step slow…  no lie, whatever the worse I could’ve imagined that debut going, take that and make it 10 times worse and I never would’ve even seen THAT happening.  Absolutely no excuse for it.  None.  All the brand power and image brought with the Belichick hire, and that’s the best he could do in his debut.  They brought MJ, LT, and Roy out for THAT???  Man, I spent 7 years of my life living there and i NEVER saw or heard of LT coming out there during that time.  They actually got him coming around to watch THAT. Bill should be fuging embarrassed.  The fuging commentary booth brought a dog in and put a headset on him as Rece Davis said, “the wheels are off, ladies and gentlemen.”  As I said elsewhere - not under Mack 1.0, not under Torbush, not under Butch, not under Fedora,  and not under Mack 2.0, did we EVER look like THAT.  Never.  You bring in a guy that is considered one of the greatest football minds in coaching EVER, and we get shellacked and don’t even look competitive???  Boy I know the boosters are shitting fuging fireballs right now.
