At this point would anyone care the Panthers pulled a Baltimore Colts?

none of this matters because it does no good.

nothing is going to change except y'alls blood pressure is just going to keep going up. it's just blind rage that will go no where and accomplish nothing.

It does me good to see people actually loose it like this. It validates my theory that society has infact gone mad and I'm the only sane person in the world.

Bourbon Bob Irsay loved to micromanage the Colts, he didn't have Tep's money though and had a bad relationship with the city his team played in. the whole story on how he got the Colts in the first place is kind of interesting, but too long to post here

Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) for Baltimore, the NFL was still reeling from dealing with Al Davis and didn't do much of anything to stop the Colts from relocating.

Yes all the transplant fans of other teams would care cause they couldn’t see their team locally anymore 

This.  This is why I believe it's for the best if the team just left.  A few years ago, i was terrified at the prospect of losing this team. But now, I don't think they'll ever be successful here.

Traded franchises with Carroll Rosenbloom. Unique transaction. Easy to google don't have to tell it here.

Is it time to just move and start over? Tepper clearly isn’t going anywhere, even with national media now saying the NFL should get involved and get Tepper to sell.  

Just stop watching. 

All this does is give Tepper a new stadium.

You guys are nuts for supporting this idea like it couldn't get worse.  When the Hornets moved we got saddled with a franchise that was much worse than the original Hornets.  Even though George Shinn was a cheap scumbag, we always had competitive teams.  At least as competitive as you could be in the East during the 90's Bulls reign.  It's taken 2 decades to even begin to claw their way out of that.

The Browns franchise that replaced the Ravens was a complete joke as well.  Not sure what you guys are getting at here.  Even in the Baltimore case, it took 12 years to get a new team.

modell moved the colts because baltimore threatened to imminent domain the team

it'd be kinda hard for charlotte to claim "undue financial hardship" for losing an empty stadium 8 times a year. 

Bob Irsay owned the Colts, not Modell

the threat to seize the team had no teeth to it, but the news was enough to set off Irsay, who had been openly flirting with other cities, there was an infamous trip to JAX into a stadium full of fans plied with free hotdogs and beer

No, honestly I wouldn't care if Tepper packed his poo up and left. Honestly, it would almost be a relief.

But you'd care about the billions of tax dollars that would surely be spent to get back into the club. We all know that's what will happen. It happened over 20 years ago with the Hornets and the "non-binding referendum", it happened in Houston after the Oilers left, and while Seattle has an arena ready, they still haven't replaced the Sonics. 

And given his history, we know that Tepper would threaten to demolish BofA on his way out too...probably replace it with free parking lot to stick it to the city as well.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Jeremy Fowler draft intel on the Panthers: “Carolina was high on Proctor. If he somehow slipped to 19, he was a viable option.” “Caleb Lomu was on the Panthers short list too.” “Panthers weren’t totally comfortable with Stowers there at 49.”   https://x.com/panthersontap/status/2049827264972353727?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.

      It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
