Has anyone here ever met David Tepper in person?

I’m just curious what kind of person he really is. I saw some posts from people on the /r/nfl thread on Reddit about the panthers stadium proposal debacle and some claimed they had met him in person and he was, in fact, kind of a douche. But I’d like to hear if anyone here has actually met him? Maybe it’s not as bad as we think?

My stepfather was given tickets to a Panthers/Saints game in the dookie dome down in Nawlins' last season on a gambling trip he was on. They sat in the box seats and Tepper was beside them. My stepfather doesnt really follow football and had no idea who he was but my mother told me he shot the poo with him most of the game. My mom informed him who he was after someone in their group told her. He said he couldnt tell he was that loaded with cash. He claimed Tepper seemed like an intelligent dude but he said he was super friendly to him and was actually a pretty down to earth normal acting guy. He said he would have never thought that guy was Tepper who was so rich. Thats just what I was told and I know Tepper has done many dumb things and put his foot in his own mouth many times but by all accounts my stepfather thought he seemed like an okay guy from the conversations they had during that game.

What do you think the odds are that he ISN'T a douche?

Have you read his background? Remember how he intentionally mispronounced the guy he fired last year?

I would geniunely be shocked if he wasn't a massive douche.

I think both of these things are true.  In neutral situations he is probably an ok guy to shoot the breeze with.  But anything to do with business he has to be alpha douche.

Hey, ‘they' say that many successful people are psychopaths. ‘They’ also say that psychos can be quite charming.  

The things that guy has done seem to confirm he has an all time huge ego to the point it is a real problem. If you cross him.

 Buying the guy’s house and tearing it down? I rest my case.

That just seems like a self owning to me. I'm selling the house. I don't care what you do with it. You bought it just to tear it down thinking that would piss me off? Okay. Joke's on you though.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
