SB Nation slams JR

[jfo89]

Everything brought up in that article was something that actually happened. You can just focus on the PR stunts but I'm not that naive.

Your statement says otherwise.

[TrueBlackandBlue]

well.. it's true

 

So what? Was Jerry Richardson, a self made billionaire, over the line when we was put off by having to debate business and economics with two players that specialize in pocket passing? The only publicity stunt he's done is trying to have a discussion with two famous quarterbacks who are names but not experts in the relevant field.

They showed a close-up of JR making a serious face on MNF, and this guy wrote an entire article about it. 

 

I can't believe I gave that website a hit.  Good thing I have adblock, at least....

No one in north carolina gives a poo about the sec.

[Toundra]

Wow, they are imho very wrong about JR at times he is more like a father and the players are his kids.

I don't get where all the venom for JR comes from. I see a man who is a hard nosed negotiator and businessman, but who has demonstrated on many occasions his humanity, his concern for people, and his generosity. In the final analysis, if it wasn't for Mr. Richardson, I would still be cheering for some other team, since there would be no football in the Carolinas. That is a terribly sad thing to contemplate! I met JR outside the stadium at the Rams game. The only thing I wanted from him was to shake his hand and thank him for for two decades of Panther football. He's okay in my book.

i would love to get the players' response to that article. i guarandamntee you that they'd be pissed off.

 

 

JR taking care of olsen's family a PR thing? gtfo

[rayzor]

Your statement says otherwise.

and ignorance and pinheadedness and douchiness.

Many of Jerry's contemporaries are family friends of ours from when my folks lived in downtown Spartanburg in the early 70's and they will almost all tell you one thing about Jerry Richardson: He is a horrid human being that made his fortune off of his partner's hard work and smarts. I don't know of anybody that has nice things to say about him from the old neighborhood.

And I personally remember when our school went from making lunches themselves to having to be supplied by Spartan Foods. We went from delicious, balanced, homemade meals to cheap-as-you-can-make-it slop.

Yeah he brought the team here, but he is nothing to be proud of for sure.

I am not a fan of Richardson as an owner.  I think he is a great business man, that knows how to make the Panthers profitable for his investors.  I will never forgive him for the crap he pulled in 2010.  I'm sorry.  That proved to me that he cares more about money and profit than winning.  I don't want that in an owner.  And of course he's going to take care of his players.  They are his product.  They are business assets.  Greg Olsen helps him make money!

he probably ate at hardees before the game and realized how much of a shitty restaurant he owns

[Cary Kollins]

Hurney salty.

[Goondal]

Someone should buy this clown a map of the SEC.

[Jaxel]

The real question is, who cares? Writers judge owners by how successful their teams are.. That why you don't see these type of articles for guys like crazy Jim Irsay, or drunk old man Jerry Jones who is hitting up the club scene and cussing people out in public.
