"Time to bench Jerry Richardson"

[The Other Colbert]

That is what Michael Silver from Yahoo.com wishes.

"I have a Valentine’s Day message for Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson, and I’m not quite sure how to deliver it while honoring the spirit of the holiday. Then again, as my colleague Jason Cole reported Sunday, Richardson could probably use some lessons on comportment and politesse, so I’m going to go ahead and spit it out bluntly."

The article was written yesterday, so sorry if it has been posted and merged already. This is some of the worst writing I've seen in a while and thought I would share.

there are a lot of really excited responses to a situation that has only been reported through hearsay and second-hand gossip, and clearly reported from one point of view in a situation that demands at least two.

One small part of me feels like the mass media is creating stories about the Panthers in order to make us exciting...

Seeing outlets and fans that didn't even know he existed before this week foaming at the mouth over this has been fun to watch.

Lol at anybody who thinks richardson isn't a polite man.

[thunderraiden]

lol @ anyone that gets their "feelings" hurt during a multi-billion dollar negotiation. Especially when one side had a makeshift education and the only thing they have ever known is a childs game, whilst the other side are a bunch of self-made millionaire business tycoons.

I laugh when ever someone comments about how he doesn't know what he's doing business wise...I'm no business major but I think buying something for $206 million and making it worth +$1 billion is pretty good business wise.

fug you Silver. fug the players. Stick it in their asses Jerry!

I've heard "dumb" and "stupid" slung around by Joe Fan a lot. Meanwhile the Panthers play in a privately owned stadium and are top ten in revenue despite playing in freaking Charlotte, North Carolina.

It's the players who make this sport entertaining. Watching an empty field doesn't catch anyone's attention.

It's all about perception. The damage cannot be undone and will only get worse.

The sound bite is out there and that's all there is to it. We'll never hear the end of this.

fug em. Cut them all and start over with a hard cap on each position. I guarantee you in 3 years you won't see a difference in the talent on the field. they are all way overpaid.

The only damage is media kissing the players asses and making them out to be worth more than they are worth.
