what impact did Peppers walking have on Jerry?

Recommended Posts

Everyone has played armchair cardiologist about the mental effect Richardson's heart surgery has played on his decisions making process, but what about Peppers walking on him?

It's no secret Jerry thought highly of Julius, exemplified most notably by basketball outings and publicly calling him out to take a larger role in team affairs.

It's also interesting that during the fox era, the Panthers have kind of been run like a small time, family business. Loyalty has played a premium over ability and cost effectiveness.

Maybe Richardson finally had a harsh wake up call when someone he thought so highly of basically betrayed the trust he'd placed in him. Maybe Julius walking is what has spurred this recent and radical change in team philosophy.

maybe...pstall is gay

Never considered the possibility before you mentioned it.

My Dad ran into JR and Peppers in the stadium not long after he was drafted. He was a photographer at the time. Richardson was driving him around on his golf cart showing him the stadium and he stopped and introduced Peppers. He said you could tell how happy Richardson was to have Peppers in Carolina. Like a new father showing off a child.

I would imagine it has had an impact on Jerry. However, my line of thinking is more that JR is coming to grips with his mortality after the heart transplant and is desperate to leave the Panthers in a good position after he is gone. Maybe even bring a Lombardi to Charlotte before he bites the big one.

Maybe he's acquiring some of the personality of the person whose heart he acquired. It is known to happen.

Perhaps. I hope you are joking, however.

Taking the serious route because I want to downplay this because of my pent up anger at those who have tried to feed me this in person: there is no evidence that this is even possible nor evidence that it has happened. The "evidence" is merely hearsay on the part of those who receive the organs, who most likely changed their habits due to their new chance at life. They then research the person whose organ they have and find that they have similar traits. It is worth noting that you can find someone with similar traits as you right next door.

Also, there are many other aspects that have not been explored. For example, maybe you are more likely to accept the organ of someone who is similar to you (yes, personality wise). Is that likely? No, but it's just as likely as cellular memory.

    • Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!
    • How do I activate said Krispy Kreme deal? I'm stoned man you can't be playing with me about this...
    • When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
