First I will say he is the worst owner in the league...  But I will also say sh.i.t talkers need to realize there are consequences out in the real world...   I bet that Jags douche bag was talking the whole game...  I would have sent one of my meat heads out there...

If someone who’s net worth is more than the GDP of multiple countries feels the need to physically retaliate at someone because their feelings are hurt, then they’re a baby back bitch, and Tepper is a baby back bitch

Odd take for many reasons

Tepper's actions are revealing in his personality type..............consider that type of person involved with decision making with his team. 

One would think if Tepper was being pushed verbally within an ear shot by a fan that he would simply ignore that and have security (what billionaire doesn't have a flock of security within a finger point around them) address the issue and remain calm knowing that in his position if he reacts the way he did it could potentially complicate the situation. 

Take that same personality/ emotional state that stymies realizing the consequences of such action and think how this same trait would be a liability to his making strategic decisions involving team talent and/or coaching.

Sure he can say the "buck stops here" and assume that is a statement of integrity........but if you own the team and have a mind set that you are accountable to nobody.....then what integrity is that showing? 

and anyone who in that same press conference says "nobody has ever left working for him" as a apple polishing of his loyalty without realizing it is really just pleading the 5th as a rose by any other name. 

I have a friend who was a big time hedge fund manager and his "big swinging dick" / brass balls personality beyond wall street was arrested in the sociability of a 8th grader...........it seems to be in the water these hedge fund managers live by and the Panthers, fans and the Carolinas in general are stuck with one of them. 

After all..........he's the smartest guy in the room that has to tell you they are the smartest guy in the room because......well after all.......they've got more money than any of you because of that..............how lovely.

      Well I should also say another caveat is positional value. You have to be careful violating that. For the scenarios you are describing, those are also things that free agency is for. Free agency should always set up the draft. Improve the roster and then go shopping for things to potentially take your roster up a notch.  Lastly, we are in scenario 2. Our roster is still not good and we have holes at most position groups. We are actually in the "BPA All Day" range.

      I'm very interested in seeing the specifics of these cases. The term "illegal gambling" makes me think this is unrelated to typical sports betting/point shaving and related to something else on the side. That kind of stuff worries me much less than something like we saw with Jontay Porter happening on a larger scale. I absolutely think the feds need to be keeping a much closer eye on this stuff given how much more sports betting is going on these days. I honestly don't care that much if it's a Calvin Ridley situation where a player is betting on league games that he's not playing in; I can see why that isn't allowed, but I don't think that presents a major threat to the integrity of the game on any kind of large scale. IMO, the larger threat to sports in general isn't a large-scale organized crime operation but a bunch of smaller operations or even just individuals who are willing to do what Jontay Porter did. He was a relatively insignificant player in the grand scheme of things, but it's entirely possible we see this type of thing more and more even at the highest levels of sports. If gambling is going to be legalized to the extent that it has been, there needs to be better regulation and a very strong set of rules in place for the sportsbooks, the bettors and for the leagues/teams themselves. I don't get the sense that is the case right now.
