Didnt marty schottenheimer also buy a house in charlotte?

schottenheimer owns a home in Cornelius

[CatMan72]

Given what actually took place, I don't see the point in ever posting any of this...

Moral of the story: never trust a lawyer.

[Mr. Scot]

Honestly, just for laughs

John Fox has a friggin mansion at Quail Hollow CC. You can look up the home on Charmeck tax bill lookup.

Total Sq Feet 19,000+

Heated Sq ft 13,000+

Tax value 5.338 million

He still owns his LKN home too.

Well he did sell his Ballentyne home to move into his QHCC home last july. So part of it was right!

- John Fox had sold his house in Charlotte. Word from the Richardsons was that anything less than a Super Bowl win and he was gone. Fox had looked at the prospects, realized this year was probably his last and was prepared to move on.

Fox did make some odd comments last season. Of course, we didn't win the Super Bowl and yet, he's still here.

- Regardless of whether the season was a success or not, Marty Hurney would be gone the following offseason. The Richardson's were tired of him, and he was going to be asked to resign. If he refused, he'd be fired.

I guess he refused and didn't get fired!

- Discussions had already occurred with Bill Cowher. He knew he was the heir apparent, and it was only a matter of time before he took over as either GM or, more likely, coach and GM.

The Cowher thing was everywhere last season so...

- On the health front, Jake Delhomme was not recovering well from Tommy John surgery at all. He could barely throw the ball 20 yards, and anything beyond that? Forget it.

Wow, do you remember when his arm fell off when he threw those bombs to Smitty last season? Oh, wait...

- Even worse news for Jonathan Stewart. There were complications resulting from his college injury that were so bad he might never play a single down for the Panthers, or anyone else.

184 carries later...

- As to Julius Peppers, the team wasn't happy about his prior year's performance, so in response they'd put him on HGH :eek:

Won't even touch THAT... :nonod:

- And what of the camp fight between Steve Smith and Ken Lucas? turns out, per my co-worker, that it was all the fault of Lucas. Seems Ken had grown tired of being constantly burned by Smith in practice, and thus he deliberately goaded Smith into losing his temper and punching him.

Probably has some merit as others have said the same thing.

- Happily, it wasn't all negative. On the bright side, 2008 was set to be Dwayne Jarrett's breakout year. In practice, Jarrett was proving to be an even better receiver than Steve Smith. By midseason, and maybe sooner, he'd be starting opposite Smith. Jarrett might even wind up having more catches on the season.

I'm waiting! :toetap05:

Well then, had you decided to post this last season, we would have a Huddle meltdown. Now, it's simply amusing in retrospect.

No way Fox and Hurney are on the hot seat this year. They have done an excellent job of building a great team. They would have to give Big Cat a snuggie to get fired, and even that might get laughed off.

12-4 cooled that seat off considerably, but it also raised expectations for this season. Tougher schedule, less depth...Hurney and Fox have their work cut out for them.

Guarantee you that guy has been posting in this forum this offseason under many different aliases...

How right he seemed to be last year judged by the general consensus of crazed fans, and how wrong he actually was.. reminds me of... well, nevermind.

[hdevonxz]

i think I remember you posting this, I don't think anyone believed you.

[Mr. Scot]

Nope. Thought about it, but there were just too many holes.

Seriously. The mood people were in coming off the prior season combined with info like that? You'd have had people who believed it vs those who didn't. It could have been a meltdown of biblical proportions.

One thing the guy was way off on, yeah Fox sold his house thats b/c he built a huge house on Quail Hollow. My Dad did the windows for him and I got to tour the house once almost complete with Fox, checking out the work. Awsome house.

I commend you for keeping the bs off the forum. Sounds like this "lawyer" is a complete joke or your buddy ws just blowing smoke up your arse.

[CatMan72]

Fair enough, and your co-worker might have had me going until the whole HGH thing... I doubt the Panthers or any other NFL franchise for that matter would take the risk of putting a player on HGH.

I also don't think it would make ANY sense to go around telling folks that the GM is gonna be fired before the season ever starts regardless of how they do. Might as well just fire the guy then and there unless it's some sort of psychological tactic to light a fire under Hurney's ass, but I don't think Mr. Richardson does business that way.

[PrimeTyme]

I think as Panther fans we all hear information from time to time that someone swears is

1. true

2. information from an inside source

I hear things from time to time that are suppose to be inside secrets from 'reliable' sources, but I dont wish to spread gossip and commend you Mr. Scot for doing the same thing

[OneBadassCat]

I hope none of you took Mr. Scot seriously. My sarcasm radar was off the charts.

[ItsNotGonnaBeAlright]

Such beautiful stupidity
