I was saying "wacked out" in the sense that there are people smarter then me in a lot of fields, not in the sense of making money.

Oh, for sure. David Tepper is way smarter than me when it comes to financial matters and investments. 100%.

But I sleep real well at night. He probably does too but I couldn't if I was him.

Selling your soul for some money. 

 

You disgust me!

 

 

Not talking about selling his soul but I agree with him. If I could hand Tepper my money and get his genius to invest for me I certainly would. The guy can't run a football franchise but two things he is VERY GOOD at are making money and throwing food and drink on people.

Honestly, it kinda is. This mentality of "I'm only an investor" and using that to separate and insulate ourselves from the companies we invest in is just a cop out.

I understand this line of thinking, but the more you look into anything you spend your money on in this world you can find 500 human rights violations on the way down.

I get there are different levels of separation to it and we should all try to be better, but there's blood on all our hands.

Not with tepper in charge.  This is staggering.

 

Through decades of managing money he’s had spectacular years as well as major declines. Still, over time Tepper has posted annualized returns of about 28% for investors, before fees. That included a 12.5% gain in 2022, when the market tumbled.

I’m sure if corners ever received a large sum inheritance he’d share it with all of us out of the goodness of his heart. 

If I was a billionaire, I can promise you the world would be a better place. I certainly wouldn’t spend $80 million bulldozing a house in the hamptons. Think about how much student debt he could have paid off for people. Or cancer research.

    • Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist
    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
