Something tells me our resident UNC fans might have some fun with this story...

From the article...

Davis also has faced multiple civil lawsuits in the past. For example, Davis and former Duke teammate Christian Laettner were once sued by former NBA great Scottie Pippen for failing to repay a loan in connection with an effort to buy the Memphis Grizzlies.

“I have made business mistakes,” Davis said. “But in terms of character integrity, what I can say is that, unlike most, I didn’t file bankruptcy.”

The aforementioned "business mistakes" have apparently involved taking out loans and not paying them back.

There's also this, in response to suggestions that his backing money was coming from sources in Saudi Arabia...

Ummm...Wow 😬

Slightly off topic:

With the rate the value of these teams are increasing I am truly surprised Bezos or Mr tesla didnt just plunk down 10 Bill or whatever just to have that in their portfolio. Not like they need the money but there are only 32ish owners in the league and only a handful sole owners of a nfl franchise.  Even if they dont care about football its still an exclusive club and its an incredible investment

The NFL reportedly badly wants Bezos in the club. Speculation is that the Seattle Seahawks will be up for sale sometime soon and he'll probably go there.

Tepper will likely be sliding down the "richest owners" list a little.

Valuation will get to the point that no one can afford to buy. What does it matter (outside of yearly revenue)  if the team is worth 40 billion dollars?  How many candidates or even groups will be able to afford to purchase.

If it got to that point, you're probably talking groups rather than individuals.

I suppose potentially corporations but I don't know how the NFL would feel about that.

its at the point now where groups are forming to be able to afford a team.   Only a handful of people in the world that can simply pay cash, as tepper did, for a team outright.

 

If bezos or musk want in they could simply double any offer and pay in cash which I find strange that they dont.

Maybe but the skins are for sale now and he has obvious ties to the dc area.  I think a talking head I heard say at one point the washington franchise value was the most valuable in all of sports

Snyder reportedly blocked him from bidding on the Commanders.

Granted the circumstances are odd, but apparently he still had that right.

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      By TD alt · Posted

      I hope Bryce balls out. Wouldn't bet the farm on it though. Morgan has to be practical though. He was placed into a situation where he was compelled to give Bryce a long look. There really haven't been any more practical options due to who has been available at the position. The Panthers had already put their chips in with Bryce, so putting more chips in by borrowing against the future and stacking on that by borrowing against the future without really having the requisite draft capital was a nonstarter. We could either dump Bryce and go dumpster diving for known and unknown JAGs at the position, or take out chances and let it play out with Bryce and hope for acceptable returns. Due to what looks like some good moves in the draft and free agency, it appears like we're finally getting into a position where we can take a swing again if need be without destroying the core of the team. I understand that you'll believe it when you see it, but Dan is gonna move on if Bryce can't cut it. There are too many professionals lives and careers tied to Bryce to simply accept the status quo.

      Football is the ultimate team sport. No sport is more dependent on others for your success - including coaching. I don't know if Bryce is the guy, but I do know this has been a very bad team all around since he got here. One of the worst o-lines and coaching staffs I've ever seen his rookie year. One of the worst defenses and receiving groups (including TEs) I've ever seen his 2nd season - with a rookie HC and OC. An improving WR group his 3rd season mostly due to a rookie. The only other WR of note didn't really play well until after the 10th game of the season due to injury. Still no receiving TE to speak of. And lost games because of the worst pass rush in the NFL. And the only speed he's ever had on the field was DJ Chark. A washed up DJ Chark that played here one year and has had 31 yards receiving since leaving.  Carolina had no business moving up for a QB in 2023. They weren't ready. Especially if it meant trading your only good WR to do it. Now finally there's potential on defense. Potential on o-line. Potential at WR, including some actual speed in a game where speed kills. If BY falls on his face this season, then he has to own it. Situation may not be perfect, but it's at least NFL average across the board. I won't beat him up for being bad in bad situations on a bad team. But a 4th year QB has to be able to control the offense and make players/coaches right. The team looks good enough on paper to show what he can do now.
