Panthers Sale to Tepper is Final

[PanthersATL]

What I like about Tepper's comment today, " look forward to being part of the Panthers’ family and to supporting this flourishing region"...

He didn't say that it was HIS family. He said he wanted to be a part of the existing family.  I kinda liked that phrasing.

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.

Then fix the logo on the 50. This is the Panthers fan's team, not the NFL.

Voth still needs to get a feel for Tepper before he says too much.

They may end up having full freedom to say whatever they want about Richardson, but until that's assured I'd probably remain generic.

I actually believe Voth really means what he's saying. He can leave for something better, if he wants. Richardson seemed like a douche behind the scenes, and also, cared wayyyyyyyyyyy too much about the players over winning. I liked Richardson for a while, but now, na good riddance.

I hate media types.  Spewing their dumbass opinions.....,how about shut up with that and report that the sale is final.  Leave the damn statue alone and move on.....without JR there would be no Carolina Panthers.  Is everyone a butthurt baby these days?

CLT sports media, in particular, largely enjoy being the story as much as simply reporting it.

Looks like he paid roughly 1.1 billion to Jerry and a buyout of the remainder of the minority owners will cost him another 1.1 billion.

In the building, and dressed for the occasion...

Kind of amused at the message that flashed behind them as they entered

First Things First:

Hello Mr. Tepper!  Welcome to BoA Stadium.  You don't know me, but my name is Jeremy Igo and I'd like to share the good news about the benefits of a vegetarian diet!

Tepper:  Who let this nut in here?  Escort him off the premises and somebody get me some prime rib, stat!

It could happen.

Someone needs to tell this guy that he needs to change the logo at mid-field... like today.

This to me should be done on day 1.  Remind everyone that BOA Stadium is Panther Territory NOT the home of the NFL. 

Wouldn't mind leaving the smaller Panthers there as well.   I guess you gotta put the NFL logo somewhere.

I'm not understanding all of the JR hate here. Everyone here knows damn well they have made comments that today might be considered sexual harassment, racist...etc at some point in their past. WE get away with it because we are not billionaires under a constant microscope. 

But wanna treat this man like he is the plague for saying something i would bet in Vegas 99% of this board have said or done in their private moments, with their circle of friends, said to a woman at a bar if you are 100% honest with yourselves.  

Maybe move the statue to another place. Maybe Wofford College. But erase this man from the history because he got caught doing something everyone has done at some point? too much.

I think it's been mentioned.

That and the statue.

Probably old news by now, but the statue isn't going anywhere.  At least not until the contractual obligation is fulfilled.

Yeah, there's been a little bit of discussion on that topic.
