An NFL team doesn’t need to be a winner to go up in value. It can be a great anchor to start up a larger business in entertainment/data/gambling which I suspect might be Tepper’s overall goal. I look forever to the antebellum style cartoons of Tepper the carpet bagger when he moves the team.

A sports team doesn't even need that. Just look at the Hornets. Jordan bought the team for less than 300 million and sold it for over 2 billion.

I've been calling him a carpet bagger for a while.

Getting the Hornets brand back was a huge coup. I hope they can put it together especially while the Panthers stink so bad

He clearly wants to win, he clearly will spend money.  Literally he just needs to learn from his experience and step back.  Those are the 2 things he needs to work on.  Most of the rest of the blind hatred is unsubstantiated claims to convince ourselves he's bad.  Has he been bad so far?  Yep.  Could he always be bad?  Definitely.   But 2 of the main positives I can think about in an owner are strong desire to win and willing to open the checkbook, so that's a start.

Most of the worst owners in the NFL have shared a strong desire to win and a low awareness that they were getting in the way of it.

I don’t like the soccer involvement much, from my football team’s owner. Dividing attention, resources, all of that stuff. 

The concert, as it affects the football playing surface? fug that I don’t care if you can raise Beatles, Michael Jackson and Sinatra from the dead for one last show... keep it off the grass field.

Exactly this.

Concerts.

Soccer.

The football is just the money pit to help fund this. These two reasons will probably be why he never moves the team. picking #1 every year for a while boys. #NewHornets

The concerts and soccer make so so insanely little money in comparison to the actual value of the NFL team and its revenue.

I think he’ll figure it out eventually.  And if not we’ll have the Nicole era to look forward to.  At least she wanted Stroud lol.

      Week 12: Other NFL Games

      By Basbear · Posted

      Plus he was in the era in which Safety, LBs, and CBs could de-cleat WRs/TEs on crossing routes. He was beyond tough too. Plus those numbers his 4.66 40 time etc....... GameDay with 15 LBs of pads/clothes/tape, he was the fastest guy on the field. In fact I never recall at any point Rice being ran down or "hawked" from behind by any player. He was a gamer and clutch, just like lex Lugar the total package.

      Not all talent can be measured with a ruler and stopwatch. His hands, body control, and skills were ELITE.

      He did have talent, but if you look at his combine/workout numbers...they are not eye popping like many of the combine freaks are. All the best have talent, smarts, and work ethic. What he was able to do in his 40s, he holds all the records after 40. He had two 1k seasons at 39 and 40, no other WR has 1k after 36. He came back from a ACL tear within 9 months after he turned 35 years old. You know this is the era where ACl was a career derail-er and it took most mortal men took a full 12 months and they were never the same. Only two other players have made catches at that age (40) and neither one was a wide receiver. LOL at Tom being one of them....   I also read or heard, he would have still played if not for ST. He was going to play for the broncos in 2006, I think he would have been 44???, he earned a spot as the #4-6 but the numbers game of having WRs play ST ended his career. He could still get open and play, just no sense in having the GOAT run head first into a wedge on KO duties.....
