Richardson is the sour, unsmiling, founder of Hardee's and the Panthers who forced his own sons out of the business in 2009.

 

 

 

So, NFL fans, enjoy Cam Newton's on-field brilliance and the Panthers' bruising defense. Revere in Ron Rivera's sudden willingness to go for it on 4th down, and be happy for NFL fans in a section of the country where the SEC typically determines football allegiances.

But save just a little bile for Jerry Richardson, a poisonous, vile old miser who has nothing but bile for you.

 

 

wtf...

How can you have hate for a self-made billionaire who happens to be the only owner who actually played in the NFL?

The ignorance is confounding sometimes. Yes, JR is an old man. But he is basically the sole reason we have an NFL franchise. If I live to be 80+, survive a heart transplant, and have to bury one of my sons, I hope I am not judged by every little facial expression I make.

well.. it's true

True about what? You mean the man who was so EVIL to fly out with Greg Olsen and his Wife on his private jet to a heart specialist for Olsen's unborn child? Or the fact Greg was so touched by Mr. Richardson's actions that he gave the child "Jerry" as his middle name? How about the fact he has been like a grandfather to Steve Smith? What about that time he attended a long-time PSL Owner's funeral? How about you and the rest of the fuging ignorant hypocrites get your facts straight

That was a really shallow blog post, you can tell he was inspired by a random picture he saw on twitter and dug up paper thin evidence, probably from memory to make his point.

 

We will never know precisely why his sons were fired, you can make assumptions and guesses all you want but we don't know. I'm pretty sure it's not because he's a scrooge that wishes to spite his children.

 

I have spent a ton of time in that building and in the community with Panthers staff. You can complain about the prices or the players but the people working there are first class people. I'm not a PSL owner or a rich sponsor but I've had multiple people get to know me and treat me with respect over the years. Danny Morrison is a classy guy, I've ran into him at least 25 times compared to 0 with Mark Richardson.

 

Some people get caught up in politics or economics. Some people just hate rich people. If you are willing to respect that JR has his own priorities then there is nothing to be mad about.

Everything brought up in that article was something that actually happened. You can just focus on the PR stunts but I'm not that naive.

 

Yeah but the spin on it is very subjective. Was JR a hard ass in CBA negotiations? Hell yes he was. Why wouldn't he be? Billions of dollars are at stake. Some people feel like rich people owe society. They don't.

 

He plays off the millionaire players as victims. No one forces them to play football. If they want to fight for higher wages then so be it. JRs Hardees workers had it a lot worse than special teams players making $600k a year.

 

JRs words about owning their own business weren't empty insults either. He mentored Tim Biakabutuka who now owns several Bojangles.

      Tom Pelissero: Ejiro Evero name to watch when coaching cycle commences

      By SteveSmithTD89 · Posted

      Respectfully, I completely disagree. Last year we were:  32nd in Sacks. 32nd in Turnovers.  32nd in Rushing TDs allowed  29th in Scoring.  We were absolutely atrocious on defense last year and that was with a full stable of weapons in Derek Brown, Frankie Luvu and Brian Burns that played all 17 games.  Using yards per game as a metric to guage our success lacks the context that because our offense was so inept teams were not driving the length of the field, they were starting at their 40-50 yard line.  This year, our Defense ranks:  31st in Sacks. Tied for 19th in Turnovers  31st in Rushing TDs allowed 32nd in Scoring  His defense fails to get pressure, fails to turn the ball over and fails to stop the run. Three things you absolutely have to do to be successful in the NFL.  Denver meanwhile has not missed a beat without him.  If another team wants to hire him as a HC and the Panthers get two 3rds for it I'll wish him the best and pack his bags myself.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Ah, the ol Cam Newton hating.  I will give you credit, the week of pretending to be a Daniel Jones super fan is a very clever way to disguise your hatred of Cam.
