Are we now actively pulling for David Tepper to fail?

AFA wanting him to fail, I think the only real way out of it might be if his marriage failed and the wife went after the team in the settlement, and things got so bad he just said fug it take the team leave me alone. I'll just buy another team.

This is an mildly interesting story, if anyone remembers Georgia Frontiere - who inherited majority stake in the Rams. There isn't a parallel because she inherited the team.

Tepper embarrassed or miserable?  Its a nice thought but I highly doubt it, more like

I know his pride is taking a beating. He's very unaccustomed to getting beat down and embarrassed and not being able to just bully his way through any problem with his wealth. Financially he's obviously doing fantastically but he really does want to win and he's really trying and that's why it's gotta be embarrassing.

A lot of us have probably seen this in our jobs. I plied my trade for a long time and at one point worked some with a rich amateur. He thought because he whipped ass to make his money in business wheeling and dealing that he knew my business that I had been doing for probably well over 15 years at the time. Wrong.

It was embarrassing and eventually I told him to lose my number. But that's the way things work too often. 

Actually he never learned but it was talent and skill based occupation and all the love you might have for it doesn't help much if you aren't able to perform to whatever level. 

Tepper does not have that hurdle, he only has to know he doesn't know. That's a challenge too though, as we have seen. I really am hoping he is being shown the light. He has been in trial and error school now for long enough.

I don't think the meetings, or wanting them, is a problem in itself.

It is more like him ignoring his limitations next to professionals, and using his power to feed his ego in those meetings that would wrench things up. 

Why is the turnover in the executive positions horrendous? Maybe the worst ever in the NFL. Had one dude who was in some of the top positions in the NFL and lasted like 6 months here. I know JP Morgan guys said he was an absolute piece of poo to work with. Think about that. Top guys on Wall Street, literal demons who probably traffic children said they couldn't stand him. Turnover in Tepper Sports if absolutely awful. If someone can explain the turnover that would be cool. Why does everyone leave a great job? I always thought the opposite happened.

I don't doubt any of that. If you own the business, whether or not you are an asshole is secondary though, inside that business.

We can't all quit like his employees though. Well, we could, and I'm not sure I won't. He is on his last chance for me, life is too short to 'keep pounding' my head into the wall while hoping it will magically change.

    • I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year 
    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
