David ‘Pull Out’ Tepper….

Sounds like someone didn't do any research on the history of this property and the city's involvement. 

Tepper should do a better job of finding out what he's getting into before he involves himself in dealings with local and state governments.

Exactly.  My point remains.  He gave a show to basically an empty stadium and here you are glorifying his ass.  Maybe next time he should let women and children inside the stadium and away from thunder and lightning instead of making 50,000 fans stay outside.  Then they begun announcing stuff before they begun letting people in so there was almost a stampede with people rushing in.  The whole thing was operationally fuged.

I don't know, but I wouldn't think he would be in charge of things like that.

I don't recall TSE being the party to default or extend its timetable out YEARS from the original deadline in either the Fort Mill or Eastland projects. 

It would be great if Tepper, because he's one of the wealthiest SOBs on the planet, would just fund these projects out of his own pockets, and out of the goodness of his heart, but we should all know by now that's not how things work.

Not when he can get billions from the city.  What possible motivation would make him pay for it himself when he knows the city will cave eventually

Heck, I remember hanging out at Eastland mall as a kid.  I practically grew up in that mall arcade in my pre-teen/early teen years.  When Eastland went down hill, it went down hill FAST.

Mindboggle. I was there almost daily. I don't know how many rolls of quarters I wasted on Streetfighter II

    • Excellent post. Before yesterday I hadn't posted in about 2 years. I just popped in every once in a while to get updates. A couple of guys around here are excellent at that and one is funny as heck. Then there's MHS831, when I do pop in I always check out your threads. I really appreciate your takes and how you explain them and also the effort you put into it. Plus, your a class act.  I also came here to mention the UDFA C I understand we signed. I've read that he was ranked in the 6th round for what that's worth. He had a solid career and has traits that are special. He needs to be developed but he has potential and his strength is run blocking and his athleticism fits what we want to do offensively I think.  I think he was a late draft target that they believed was safe so they drafted other players and picked him up after the draft instead. If so, that's smart and very disciplined.    Here's a report on his strengths: SCOUTING REPORT: STRENGTHS Raym is a work in progress with high-end physical traits. He’s extremely light on his feet for a 300-pounder, a natural knee bender who plays with balance and leverage. Solid positional run blocker who flashes the nasty demeanor and killer instinct scouts covet. Shows a good feel for combo blocks, and Raym displays good quickness and flexibility when moving to the second level, capable of sealing the back side on reach blocks He’s a coordinated athlete who can win at the point of attack in the run game, and he can also move to consistently land blocks at the second level. Has the strong leg drive to create movement at the line of scrimmage, consistently putting defenders on the ground. Finishes and doesn't quit; competitor with a positive attitude and leadership traits that coaches admire. He's a dawg. Badass. I think his skills fit what we want to do too. This kid has the potential to be a stud for us. It's true we didn't draft him but we still got him. So, if it's really a big deal, just imagine that we had an extra 6th and drafted this guy there. He was valued there so it's a good pick. In my mind, we got a good center this draft, even if we didn't draft him. We signed him just the same. 
    • That blows my mind too.  You know your system and the skill sets you covet--you have hours of game tape, you interview, you measure, you test, you weigh, you time--and 25% is the bar?  Now, I know some teams only have 2-3 openings some years, but dang.
    • 25% of day 2/3 picks would be phenomenal.   NFL Draft Pick Bust Rate Remains Very High - Daily Norseman Assuming the 30% includes first round picks, and that a draft success means the play spends significant amounts of time playing for the team that drafted him, a 25% success rate for day 2/3 picks would be well above average.
