Dude - you're just being a fool if you think Tepper doesn't meddle.  Did Jerry Richardson go on pro days in 2011?  He met Cam once and signed off on the pick but he let his people do their job 

Do I think the owner should meet the player selected #1 overall by his team? Yes. #1 overall players are generally franchise changing level talents, especially if that player is a QB. It's natural for the owner to want to meet them before the team picks them and invests in them and the future of the team. 

Do I think the owner should be at all the scouting events, pro days, and analyzing that player's value on the football field? Unless that owner is a professional scout or football administrator, the answer is a resounding no.

And I thought up until the last statement, it was telling that he talked about conviction around Bryce in "past tense".  He probably then saw the faces in the room and realized he needed to say something positive about Bryce.  

CJ Stroud was clearly the best pick in the draft, and Bryce not likely to  even be the second best when it's all said and done.

He also admitted the original plan was to go to pick #2 and take CJ Stroud.

Because Young would be taken at 1, so Stroud was the next choices. But they’ve said this before so I don’t know how you are surprised by this?

People are really in here trying to run interference for Tepper after that mess lol

 

I just don't know what people expect.  He is a billionaire owner and alpha male type business man.  He is not going to completely humble himself publicly.

At a minimum, he acknowledged fans frustrations that they way he has done things haven't been anywhere near successful.  

It also appears that Fitterer is on the way out.

He didn't confirm/deny that he would hire a coaching firm.   But that doesn't mean he wont.

He seemed slightly more humbled than he has been.  He still sucks but I'm reserving hope that he handles this search the correct way.

 

His poo about the music and events is whack and tone deaf.

I got the complete opposite. He took a press conference following the firing of yet another head coach only 11 games into the first season in the midst of one of the most disastrous seasons in team history and used it as an opportunity to once again blovate and toot his own horn about his knowledge of running a professional football operation. He dodged the subject of Fitterer.

I didn't get any level of humility or possible inkling of a willingness to cede any level of power to an outsider to run the operation for him.

This was absolutely more of the same.

      Down With The Devils: Series Wrap-up

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Well bois, we gave the Devils their due! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... The jersey boys have been trying to jack our steeze for a few years now. They've followed our blueprints and studied our tape. Every offseason, they pounce on our sloppy seconds in a Newark minute. Quick with the puck, ferocious on the forecheck and stifling team defense. Down to the colors, this is this closest we'll come to having to play ourselves in Ole Stanley's Hockey Hoedown. As the postseason began, Rod stood flexing in the gym mirror and saw this guy staring back from the void... (Shutters) When beating us at our game didn't work, Timo and the Tri-State Trash tried to tango instead. Outside of a bitchass cheapshot on Freddie, that poo didn't work either. Their goon squad was getting wrecked by our bantam weights. As much as we all wanted to see Svechy or Staal Bunyan literally break someone in half after the Great Dane went down, they didnt need to. Our munchkins were monsters! Jarvis obliterating giants at the blue line, Logan laying the Stank on dudes twice his size and Blakers blasting Timo into next season. It was beautiful to see! (Side note: Does JBlo wear lead weights under his pads? 170lbs shouldn't be able to hit that hard!) We closed it out in 5, for the gentleman's sweep. Only team in the league to win a series in each of the past 7(?) seasons! And, this was supposed to be a rebuilding year... Onto the awards: Key To The Series : 6 for 19 - .316% IT FINALLY WORKED!!! MVP : 16/180 g/s - .911 save% - 2.53 gaa Seriously, without this dude, we would've won in 3! (Trust me bro) 3rd Star : 6/94 g/s - .936 save % - 1.59 gaa The Great Dane   2nd Star : 3 g - 5 a - +1 - 20:38 toi/g - 18 hits - 3 bs - 58.1% fo 3 PP goals and the 2OT series winning goal! WOOAAAHHH NELLY!!!!   And, your 1st Star of the series : 5 g - 1 a - +3 - 16:48 toi/g - 16 hits - 1 bs - 1 tk - 50% fo Zero, I repeat, zero penalty minutes for the series! MISSSTAAAHHH SVEEECHNIKOOOV!!!!!! Onto The Next: Now, we wait for the Habs to make it a nasty 7 game slog, while we recuperate. And, hopefully, get Nikishin, and some of the other black aces some real peactice time. We are gonna need those guys at some point. Because, if you think the Devils were dirty, hoooo boy, wait till you see what's next...
