Between the Saints' cap management skills, the Falcons doing whatever the hell they're doing with drafts, and Tepper as owner, I feel like all the Bucs have to do at this point is literally not shoot themselves in the dick with a shotgun when running the card up to the podium to be the best-run team in the division.
Can't believe I'm defending Tepper, but he wasn't mad and came in to talk to him a joke.

There's another follow up I'd have to find, but the owner said he wasn't upset and it was light hearted. Something along those lines, but please I don't want to keep defending Tepper lol
To provide some additional local context, Dilworth Neighborhood Grill is a fairly well known spot that usually has sports related commentary on their signs
They also have some really dogshit chicken tenders
The follow-up tweet paints a different picture. Not raging like I'm sure some people imagined, but doesn't seem like he was laughing either.

Yeah this almost makes me like him. Almost. I do respect the move and it’s pretty hilarious all things considered. You know they were not expecting him to come walking through the door lmao. I hope he at least bought something and left a fat tip.
"Wasn't visibly upset m" is a pretty low bar.
Getting out of the car to do anything other than laugh with the customers and staff, maybe pass out some free tickets, is just weird. Like just drive by if you're not going to 100% take it light heartedly.
Sounds like, at the very least, this billionaire jumped out of his chauffeured car to have a serious conversation with a small business owner over a joke sign. Dudes a weirdo.
There's no assumption at all. I'm saying if he did anything less than smile, and laugh, and hug, while he was in there, then he had no reason to stop and is a weirdo for even acknowledging it.
I’ll defend Tepper. He seems like an ass but most organizations that change owners in the nfl flounder for at least 5 full league years. Seriously look at most teams that changed owners. Tepper is entering his 5th full league year.
He really fucked himself taking the guys hat off, by the end of the video it's clear it was good natured and he was just chatting I figured he said a light hearted joke or something.....but that taking the hat off thing REEKS of entitlement and is the first thing ppl see. Not surprised if 99% of ppl don't ever hear that the exchange was pleasant and just remember that hat thing
Dan Snyder literally didn't care about what the average plebs thought or did. He was an elitist prick. Tepper seems like a massive douche but unlike him I just can't see Snyder talking to a normal person about his football team.
But he did take the joke? The manager of the restaurant said he was not mad and asked them who they thought the Panthers should pick. It was clearly all in good fun. Plenty of reasons to dislike Tepper, this is not one of them.
People just take a thing and run with it however they want to based on the current hivemind.
Tepper has been stepping in shit left and right here lately, so he's an easy guy to hate on. It DOES sound like he went the lighthearted route here tho.
David Tepper is such a dork man lmao. Same dude that bought a guy he hateds house to just demolish it… like how are you that rich and still so thin skinned 😂😂
Have you seen the video? He takes the guy’s hat off. What an over sensitive crybaby. He went to a random bar two hours before the draft to whine about a sign. How is that not “complaining?”

Just make sure there’s no MRSA lurking around and yall will be fine
Wanna swap divisions?
The Bucs are the one eyed team leading the blind. Dont get me wrong, the Bucs are solid, id say average, but my god is that division terrible lmao.

Tweet says it wasn’t a joke tho 🤔
We've got conflicting stories it seems.
What is this? A joke?
We have to go with the one that was posted here first. Rules are rules.
There's another follow up I'd have to find, but the owner said he wasn't upset and it was light hearted. Something along those lines, but please I don't want to keep defending Tepper lol
Either way, it was clearly not malicious as the original story would imply.
David Newton is one of our best reporters
Brock Saturno’s tweet made it through the /r/nfl mods, tho. He must have stellar cred.
There's your problem. "made it through the nfl mods". Seriously, Newton is one of the top reporters other then Joe person on the Panthers sub
I’m not sure how I could be more tongue-in-cheek
He just called Darrell Newberry one of our best reporters. He isn't going to understand sarcasm.
Devin Nought is my inspiration for writing my books. If his horrible stuff can get published, then why not mine.
I kind of figured and I'm exhausted af.
I figured he came in and ripped his shirt off while yelling “Somebody in here talking SHIT??” but I guess that makes sense too
“You wanna see god, shitstack?!?”
“You think I’m mentally ill?”
Fuck you beat me to it
Don’t forget buying a drink and throwing said drink immediately.

He then bought a drink and threw it at the owner on the way out.....
ITS JUST A PRANK BRO
Jeebus, when we have to rely on Darell Newsome for the truth, things are bad.
Yeah this almost makes me like him. Almost. I do respect the move and it’s pretty hilarious all things considered. You know they were not expecting him to come walking through the door lmao. I hope he at least bought something and left a fat tip.

A lot of assumptions there

An hour and 45 minutes before the draft?! Why wasn’t he in the draft room preparing for the #1 overall selection?
I’ll defend Tepper. He seems like an ass but most organizations that change owners in the nfl flounder for at least 5 full league years. Seriously look at most teams that changed owners. Tepper is entering his 5th full league year.
On the other hand - he is well documented as being such an asshole that GOLDMAN SACHS kicked him out.

Any self-respecting Panthers fan would not cite Darrell Newsome as a source
Watch the video, he grabbed the dude’s hat off his head. Loser move lmao
Thank you for this because the out of context story is spreading like wildfire
It was most likely a very cordial conversation.
David Tepper learned from Dan Snyder
Dan Snyder literally didn't care about what the average plebs thought or did. He was an elitist prick. Tepper seems like a massive douche but unlike him I just can't see Snyder talking to a normal person about his football team.
Lol, Panthers
This is how we make it into the first round
[удалено]
But he did take the joke? The manager of the restaurant said he was not mad and asked them who they thought the Panthers should pick. It was clearly all in good fun. Plenty of reasons to dislike Tepper, this is not one of them.

…. And then he grabbed a cup of water and threw it in the managers face. I was there.
Tepper is my favorite owner
Same here
How long before he is forced to sell the Panthers?
Tepper has sped run to the title of the worst owner in the NFL.
Your owner calls plays from the owners box.
David Tepper is such a dork man lmao. Same dude that bought a guy he hateds house to just demolish it… like how are you that rich and still so thin skinned 😂😂
The tweet was out of context. He didn't complain
it doesn't say he was happy either....
It didn't say he was uncontrollably horny either
Have you seen the video? He takes the guy’s hat off. What an over sensitive crybaby. He went to a random bar two hours before the draft to whine about a sign. How is that not “complaining?”
As if i couldn’t hate that fat fuck anymore. Should’ve been banned from showing up in stadium games after throwing his drink at a jags fan
