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

[LinvilleGorge]

Oh, I don't think they're disappointed with Tepper. You think they were begging for someone who would come in and build a football organization that would kick their ass?

Fair point

He took a team that was at least competitive sometimes and turned them into a perennial doormat.

The other owners probably appreciate the extra wins they get playing his team.

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

Why do you love Tepper so much?

Rubin since bought ownership stakes in both the Philadelphia 76ers and the New Jersey Devils.

Nonsense. 

He owned stakes in both prior to trying to make a laughable and ham-handed pass at the Panthers .  He did slightly increase his stake in the umbrella company that owns both but is not in a control position of any sort.

He also sold a company he founded for more money than Tepper paid for the Panthers.

True or otherwise, this assertion is 100% irrelevant to the -race for the Panthers in 2018.  Did he get green ??

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.

Whoah Nelly ...I thought the other owners had already teed-up Byron Allen to buy that team?  Is this no longer the case?

His net worth makes Tepper look lower middle class.

So what? Do you have a point?

1 hour ago, Mr. Scot said:

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

If Byron Allen is no longer the presumed front-runner I thought Robert F. Smith would be next to be "courted"...what's up with that?

As for Walton and Tepper -- I fail to see the connection? 

Please explain how the NFL bringing Walton into the fold would somehow indicate the League (owners & Commish) have come to the conclusion allowing Tepper to buy a team was a bad idea?

Are facts of interest to you?

Or do you prefer to wallow in hyperbole and #fakenews?

20 NFL teams have had 10-year playoff droughts (or longer) and 5 teams have accomplished this feat twice (Giants, Jets, Bucs, Cardinals), or more (Lions 3x)…

 

…your Carolina Panthers have a long way to go to achieve “perennial doormat” status .

 

@Carl Spackler, goes to hyperbole)

[LinvilleGorge]

Tepper is such a great owner we have to go back to the Panthers before Tepper to draw on successes that weren't Tepper's to attempt to manufacture an argument that Tepper hasn't turned us into a doormat.

In the Tepper era, our 22-43 (33.8%) record puts us at 5th worst in the NFL during that time period. Worst in the division. Third worst in the NFC. That's pretty doormat-ish.

Jerry Richardson took an expansion team that was built from scratch to within a game of the Super Bowl in it's second year.

David Tepper took over that same team with it being much better established and coming off a Super Bowl just three years prior. Under his direction, the team hasn't so much as managed a 500 season.

Now the NFL looks down on Tepper as basically everybody's b-tch and they're looking to bring in a much richer owner who might actually be able to field a good team given how the Broncos are set up.

Face it, dude. The guy you worship is a laughingstock.

I'm squarely against Tepper on a number of fronts...

...absolutely 100% do not think he should get a penny of tax-payor funds to renovate/build stadiums.

It's as simple as right vs. wrong...I believe in right (or the truth if you will).

And you?  Prefer to wallow in hyperbole and #fakenews?

Awake cause I worked late.

Don't flatter yourself. You're about as important to me as Tepper is to the NFL (i.e. not at all)
