The Panthers have yet to reach the postseason under Tepper, the 67-year-old founder of Appaloosa Management, who bought the franchise for $2.275 billion in 2018. It’s not just fans complaining about his ownership, either: In the NFL Players Association’s most recent survey of its members, Tepper received a D-, the second-worst grade among the league’s 32 owners.

Forbes. LOL.

Owning a sports team is now a billionaire’s toy now. The days of Michael Jordan or a Jeanie Buss owning teams are long gone.
 

I remember when people thought Diddy could afford to buy the Panthers, he would have had to sell everything he owned just to cover the $750 million needed to own only 30% of the team.

I don't think anyone that was realistic thought that he could afford the team. Just imagine if he had swung it, the Panthers would be looking for a new owner right now.

You weren't aware of his strategic reserves of baby oil? Those could be worth a considerable amount.

Reminder that Tepper made a lot of his fortune by buying debt from companies and then asking the government for a bailout on the debt he now owns. In a world of scummy billionaires, he somehow manages to be even scummier.

Really wish their was more awareness around how very rich people make money...its almost never "hard work and fortitude" its taking advantage of people and institutions

its almost impossible to be a billionaire without leaving a trail of bodies in your wake. capitalism demands a few winners and a ton of losers

Jordan would have been worth over 2 billion if not for his gambling.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By TD alt · Posted

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
