Tepper to speak on Tuesday


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

In his trading days on Wall Street Tepper was the top trader at Goldman Sachs but got passed over by Jon Corzine of Goldman Sachs rather than make him partner. Tepper took this personally since the reason was Corzine didn't like Tepper's personality. 

Tepper left Goldman, founded his own hedge fund, and became a billionaire. Then in 2015, he found a chance at getting back at Corzine.

Corzine and his wife Joanne Dougherty had lived in a Hamptons mansion, which they put a bunch of effort into building up. When Corzine and Joanne divorced in 2003, Joanne got the mansion, which was valued at $9 million. In 2015, Tepper bought the mansion and ended up paying $44 million for it.

Then he tore it down and built another mansion, twice as big, in the same spot.

If he’d been planning on building a mansion from scratch, he could have done so more cheaply on vacant land rather than by buying an existing mansion only to raze it, but Tepper it appears wanted to squash Corzine’s ego with his own. 

Folks that’s all you need to know about who owns the Panthers.

    • He does have speed. 21+ top end speed is very fast for a linebacker and his 3 cone drill time is considered excellent, close to elite.  
    • This is awesome because you get to see the perspectives of the scouts--get a glimpse behind the curtain. I wonder whose doing this was; I am curious as to why David Tepper allowed it. Maybe it was his wife. Maybe Dan.  At least from my perspective--and probably one shared by other fans--when David Tepper bought the team, he closed everything off too much to the fans, and really didn't give an explanation. Things were obviously done because he (and/or some others wanted to do it). Remember when they used the guise of construction and all that to keep fans from seeing the team during practice? I know there are laws and safety and all that, but Tepper could've made it happen. And, of course, we all know that they essentially fired Jeremy from his independent contractor gig as a photojournalist. I never understood why they'd do that (and the negative reverberations obviously affected Jeremy and ultimately this place--i.e, us fans). The pie was (and is) certainly big enough to throw some scraps to the independents. I realize that you can't necessarily open the floodgates, but a few different perspectives from indy journalists whether in word or photos is a good thing in my mind.  So, it's great to see different perspectives. I will say this however: it is not without risk, as you know there will be some buster who will be calling the scouts out if the players flop. I think we should all keep in mind that the buck stops with the GM. It's nice to have one, however, that is so convicted in his people and process--and ultimately success, that he's willing to give fans access to this type of information. Pass this on to Tepper.
    • I hope he ends up being our best ever at the position. Ryan Kalil left big shoes behind that we haven't quite been able to fill since.
