The “best” thing Tepper has done is unite what’s left of the fanbase.

Tepper trying to quietly eliminate or at least reduce the presence of the "Keep Pounding" mantra is what made me lose my respect for him. Although it was a short lived, failed attempt it still was a low move.  I seriously think he wanted to replace it with the dumbass chest beat and grunt from Wolf of Wall Street 

Yea...the fans/team had an identity of never giving up.... he minimalized it and tried to get rid of it to only replace it with nothing...Dipper is such a gimp...

I live in GA and football is alive and well. It’s mainly high school and college. My local high schools send a bunch of talent to the NFL. Nick Chubb and Trevor Lawrence grew up 20 minutes away. Nick still comes to the high school to work out in the off-season. Nobody here follows NFl. 

 I’m a little over an hour from Atlanta, but there are probably 20 UGA fans to every 1 Falcons fan. College football if it hasn’t already, will surpass NFL. Kids in college football don’t take plays off.

The product as a whole when it comes to the NFL has decreased drastically. Fans don’t want to see opponents hugging it out at the end of the game. It’s a violent game, but the ability to play with violence is no longer allowed.  

You are sadly mistaken if you think college football isn't on just as shaky ground.

We have sucked for 6 straight years, it’s definitely going to have an effect here in NC with fan interaction….but let’s not act like the NFL is doing bad and that people aren’t into the NFL anymore. They are killing tv ratings each week, even with some horribly matched games this year. 

The problem is that they are very rapidly losing the sub-30 crowd. That means the future will be extremely bleak.

I was here through the inception and downfall of the Hornets. It's a similar arc he is creating.

I pretty much stopped watching the NBA about 20 years ago but those Larry Johnson/Alonzo Mourning teams were fun to watch. Once it morphed into being a no defense three point shooting contest league it just wasn't interesting anymore IMO.

I still like the NBA and watch some but it is just such a long season.

I don't know how people can care about the regular seasons in NBA and MLB. 

People bitch about NBA players slacking and taking games off but when you look at the number of games they play and their travel schedules, you have to. You can't go hard every single night for 82 games (you're talking about potentially triple digits for teams in the Finals) with all that travel. People say well I could for all that money but I'm sorry, money doesn't overcome biology. When you're exhausted and beat up you're still exhausted and beat up, you just have a lot of money in the bank to show for it.

Like NASAR...I only watch the last 40 laps....with the Hornets and any NBA BS I only watch the last 5 mins...and MLB...only watch Corey Segar cause I watched him play against my son in HS....The products are really diluted.

NASCAR died to me when Davey Allison crashed that helicopter in Talladega. They turned it into IROC trying to make every car the exact same. It just got boring.

LMAO... i live a mile from CLT speedway...i only go to watch the drunks...

The last NASCAR race I went to, Davey Allison and Dale Earnhardt finished top 3 in Rockingham. I was probably like 10.

It was wonderful. I loved Davey and hated Dale and they battled it out at the top of the pack all day. The place went wild when Davey would pass Dale, even in NC.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…

      Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.

      The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
