Disappointed they didn't wait till Friday the 13th

Regardless, the Jerry Richardson era is now officially over.

Now it gets interesting.

Welcoming a new era.

Quote from David Tepper with sale now finalized: "Winning is the most important thing both on the field and in the community, and I am committed to winning a Super Bowl. I look forward to being part of the Panthers’ family and to supporting this flourishing region."

First orders of business: Charlotte press conference and removing the Jerry Richardson statue. If both of those things don't happen by the time training camp starts, Tepper will be off on the wrong foot.

That's...interesting.

So many with good reason want statue removed but JR's legacy will remain forever regardless of this because he is the one that had brought a football team to the Carolinas and that will never go away.

Could mean anything. Expect a ton of butt kissing from people like Bill over the next few weeks until they get clarity over their job status. Can't blame him though, I'd do it too.

Cool. May his legacy live on in your heart and mind. Just not in physical form outside the stadium.
