NFL Inside Scoop: Richardson threatened to inflate face further

The little known fact behind the end of the lockout is this: Panthers owner Jerry Richardson was willing to sacrifice himself to see a deal get done.

"It was amazing" said Giants owner John Mara. "Every day, you'd look over at Jerry and his face would be even fatter. I don't know how he did it, but I know it scared the hell out of De Smith."

Now, the head of the NFLPA isn't going to come right out and admit it, but the thought of being killed by wayward bone shrapnel from Jerry Richardson's exploding head sent a chill through the players chief negotiator.

"It just got bigger and bigger. Every day." said Ravens Player Rep Domonique Foxworth. "I was scared. I'm not gonna lie. We're over there asking for concessions from ownership and you could hear the skin straining on Jerry Richardson's face. I whispered to Jeff Saturday 'yo man- fug the concessions. Let's sign this and get out of here. That bitch is gonna blow and take us all with him."

Unorthodox? Yes.

But effective.

When all of this is in the past, and people are diving into the endzone in four weeks, we may all forget that the end of the lockout didn't come because of kindness, or decency or maturity or commerce.

It came because of fear, and one brave man's willingness to lay it all on the line for the game we love.

Because when other men wilt, Jerry Richardson inflates.

And that scared the hell out of people.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
