Admittedly, I don't know dick about wrestling, but I know who he is and had no idea he lived in Ellerbe. Scheduled for auction Saturday, November 2 is the house and 47 acres. Has a couple streams and other buildings. Haven't heard if it sold or how much.

 

Anyone who's driven between Asheboro and Rockingham on 220 knows Ellerbe. The new 220/73/74 bypass skirts right past it now, but the old 220 went right thru it. There was one stop light in the middle of town.

Haven't been through there in a good while.  Pretty much take I-40 down to Wilmington (from Greensboro) now.  Might go next month as I enjoy the scenery more down that way.

 

All those years driving down the old 220 to Rockingham when I lived in Greensboro and then Martinsville, they finally get the bypass done and I moved to eastern NC... now it's only a 3-hour drive to my beach house.

    • Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.
    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ
