Oh come on. He'll be fined. Liquid isn't an assault. Jesus, you guys. Tepp is a doofus, yes. He let his emotions get the best of him, yes. If a fan did that in the stands they'd be kicked out, yes. But no ... he's not going to LOSE HIS TEAM for throwing a cup of liquid lol.

Technically, it can be.  Doubt it happens to a billionaire at a football game though.  If roles were reversed?  It might be different 

Just looking at FL, a quick google shows a woman arrested for throwing a drink at a Congressman

And Robert Kraft is still with the Patriots. Tepper will get a huge fine though. Too bad Cam didn't do it, then it'd be a Huddle favorite like when he ripped down a fan's flag.

Kraft just basically got a hooker(not 100% but basically the same thing). No owner in the NFL would sign off on a penalty for that. 

Tepper is an insane POS and easily the worst owner in the NFL but he has a ways to go before he gets heat to sell the team.

He has to do something that will threaten the league or other owners. The fans are the most irrelevant part of the NFL.

He'll settle out of court then.

I doubt it ever reaches that. It would be something the fan would have to file charges on. If the fan is smart, he will lawyer up and shake Tepper down.

I don’t personally support the idea of that but we are talking about the ultra wealthy, it's pocket change to them.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
