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.

We have a woke dude up in here that thinks this is abhorrent....I like to see some emotion...

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.

This right here…the sad truth

    • Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.
    • I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive
    • It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
