I guess after what you about said MetLife stadium I'll take that as a compliment

Meanwhile the Falcons are getting their stadium money from Atlanta.

Maybe Gordell will step in like he did in MN.

I don't care about this....i just want to win.

I'd buy the person who leaked this a few beers.

I bet JR wouldn't!

$100 Million Profit over 2 years is not that big a Profit Margin, 20 something percent isn't much in the Entertainment industry

Cable companies have close to 40% margins

Seems like none of the major news outlets care.....for now... which is a good thing.

$100 Million Profit over 2 years is not that big a Profit Margin, 20 something percent isn't much in the Entertainment industry-Quote from unnamed Exxon Mobile executive.

Corrected.

I agree Jerry Richardson had to really has to make life adjustments this past few years. I wonder if his Butler had to get the groceries with Jerry's EBT card. Times is tough y'all!

This is a good thing in all reality. You are not uprooting a franchise making this kind of profit. So this gives leverage back to the state...not an accident this is out there.

Congrats to Jerry n he has to reap the rewards of making this money. Its why you own a team and make it happen when he brought the Panthers here with the help of PSL owners.

claiming poverty..well you have to do that in any negotiation.. True or not.

I'm watching the Office on NBC and they just had a promo for the news at 11 and they were talking about it.

This is going to create a massive shitstorm for JR. It hasn't even scratched the surface.

ABC in Charlotte had it on at 6, and it's front page on CharlotteObserverdotcom

[CatMan72]

So just call it what it is...a shakedown

JR doesn't care about keeping the team here (or the product on the field). He wants $100m and has spun it so well you people are fine with it to the point you are frothing at the mouth

When did JR make any threats?

Charlotte approached the Panthers... JR has just about reached the life expectancy of a heart transplant patient and Charlotte city leaders want to secure the future of the team before a new owner is in place.

I'm too busy LOLing at all the butthurt Skins fans posting in Gantt's PFT article.

[CardiacCats]

So what's so bad about this
