Like my favorite tidbit of knowledge about how big a deal the hornets were prior to the panthers is that the strip club on Tyvola on the way to the coliseum was like the fifth most profitable strip club on the east coast. I can't remember the exact number but it was shocking how much money that place would make. 

The Men's Club?

Max Muhleman.  I got to spend an afternoon with him at his house installing a computer and he was a very interesting man to talk to. The response to the PSL concept made the awarding of the franchise a no risk decision for the NFL.

Max Muhleman = absolute marketing genius

Some people do not know mistakes from actual actions with indent.

Condolences to the victims of this mans actions that have to relive those memories today and to those in his family who have been hurt due to his actions. 

As far as football in the Carolinas, football wouldve gotten here eventually with or without you. You were just the first rich guy that was able to do it. You cared more about the league than the actual success of the team and allowed the decision makers to waste talent year after year. Good job.

You do not have to explain who or what you are because this post reveals it all.

Grace and forgiveness. I’ll extend it to JR, although most who extend it to Mr Richardson, won’t extend it to others. 
 

RIP JR. Thank you for bringing football to the Carolina’s, and although you hurt those who looked like me, you also put many on who look like me, and helped make them success stories. You did wrong, but it sounds like you spent the rest of your life trying to do right. 
 

RIP and God bless you and yours. May your fam find comfort and understanding

      I'm only in favor of this if they make it like cigarettes.  Shouldn't be plastered all over the presentation of the game.

      Yes but this is under the assumption that most of the players are susceptible to this sort of coercing from those type of elements. I think those actual cases are rare. Plus the sportsbooks are more motivated than most to stamp it out because it loses them money. It's just a natural side effect of having gambling at all. IMO, better for it to be legal. Now, I do find it insanely hypocritical(but also typical) that all these sports leagues that once turned their noses up and were very high and mighty about sports gambling are so openly supporting it now that the megabucks are rolling in.

      Well I should also say another caveat is positional value. You have to be careful violating that. For the scenarios you are describing, those are also things that free agency is for. Free agency should always set up the draft. Improve the roster and then go shopping for things to potentially take your roster up a notch.  Lastly, we are in scenario 2. Our roster is still not good and we have holes at most position groups. We are actually in the "BPA All Day" range.
