Would you preferred Ben Navarro bought Panthers in 2018 ?

Looks like a less successful billionaire who made money off of predatorial practices of the poor. Other than being local, which means nothing to ME in the big picture with a person like that, he looks like another flavor of poo than the one we ended up with...just poorer. 

I'll save my love of ownership for when they get rid of the billionaires. Until then they are all aspects of the sport we fans have to suffer through and nothing more.

Yeah Tepper was basically guaranteed to be the next owner of an NFL franchise. God I wish he bought the Saints after Benson died

Wonder if Wal Mart guy would've bought the Panthers then.

As far as Tepper, I know the NFL told one of the other potential buyers (Michael Rubin, I think) that if he wasn't prepared to spend at least 5 billion he should drop out of the race. He did.

Tepper ultimately bought the team for less than half that.

it was always going to be tepper, he was already vetted by the nfl and once they started digging into Ben N the more sleazy poo they saw and if you remember his bid stopped on a dime.   The NFL wasnt about to bring that poo into their house.

I mean, when you have an "auction" where something is supposed to go to the highest bidder and it ends up going to the lowest, there's just a chance there's been some shenanigans afoot 😕

Its not that simple, Tepper paid cash.  No financing, no partners.  Straight cash.  That adjusts the price quite a bit

It's valid to add that Tepper had the cash when Navarro didn't.

But Michael Rubin likely had the cash too, and the NFL effectively bluffed him out of the chase.

where are you seeing that at?

It was a story that came out during the ownership bids. Source was probably Albert Breer but I can't say that for certain. Breer was the one who had the best information during the process.

(heck, it's probably still posted on The Huddle if the archives go back that far)

Rubin now owns or partially owns an NBA team (I forget which one).

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By GOAT · Posted

      5 straight completions in the 4th quarter to get into the red zone and then score a stand up rushing TD and celly in one of the best defenses faces to bring the score within 1 possession against the super bowl champs is "stunned" to you?

      yes, if you read what I said - that was due to his record breaking 245 yard 4th quarter performance in garbage time when the Seahawks were already celebrating. If Bryce puts up big numbers in the 4th quarter, people like you are quick to call it garbage time stats but seem to get selective when other QB's do it because it doesn't fit your narrative.  also, I'm logical enough to admit that Drake is a great QB and his performance had a lot to do with his protection, play calling, and other aspects. The game does not fall completely on the QB. Just like how the Panthers were still in the game vs Seattle until Horn's penalty changed that. It is a team sport, so many factors, players, refs, coaches are involved and it only takes one thing to change the game. the obsession with Bryce is just nauseating at this point and if you pay attention on here, it's the same 10 users quoting and pieing each other. it's super weird and everywhere else you go, opinions on Bryce are trending upwards. the way the season ended, the vibe at the stadium, the performance, should have everyone excited about this next season. Idk, maybe I just look at life and my entertainment outlets differently than others.
