The Carolina Panthers are in hell. Not football hell, but actual hell. David Tepper is the ringmaster of this fiery circus. Since buying the team, his tenure has been a pure mess: A high-profile burning of money that would make corrupt nations envious. Tepper has been the alpha and omega of the organization, and it's to their detriment.
This past season was critical for Tepper to prove himself as a quality owner in the NFL: He failed miserably. This video is an explanation of his misdeeds in the recent past (and some a tad longer). Kiddie gloves off. - Sport
I own a small business around CLT. The panthers reached out to me about being a part of their small business partners. I basically told them to tell tepper I’m not giving him a cent of my money ever. The guy on the line basically said that he thought tepper was a piece of shit too. We had a laugh and then he hung up.
What's the business called? Maybe I might check it out when I go to Charlotte someday.
Faith can be annoying sometimes. I hope your business is doing well.
I’m sure you have a business. Lol
If I lived there, I would support your business
I hope this is true. What’s you business?
I saw David Tepper give a speech at the morning groundbreaking ceremony of the Tepper Quad at Carnegie Mellon University (my alma mater) in 2015. He showed up drunk from the night before, slurring his words as he bragged about writing the speech in the margins of the wine menu. During his speech, he lost his train of thought, saw a friend in the crowd, and gave a shoutout to his "smoking hot wife", saying "seriously dude, you robbed the cradle there."
That sounds both incredibly ridiculous and somehow within the realm of truth for Tepper.
I wish it wasn't true, Tree. I was there in person, along with hundreds of other students and pretty much everybody with some semblance of wealth or authority in the Pittsburgh area.
The moment I heard he bought the Panthers, I thought of all the female employees he would start harassing.
@@danevans5075 WOW....😲😲😲😲
Ugh...
@@danevans5075I guess he has to follow in Jerry Richardson's footsteps.
congratulations to Christian McCaffrey for escaping the panther purgatory... god help Carolina football
CMC being traded away was cheered on by us Panthers fans. The reason why was because he finally got the opportunity to escape Tepper. We love CMC still and wish him nothing but the best.
Yeah, Carolina pretty much needs divine intervention at this point
@@troybaxterIt's like us Lions fans and Stafford. We knew he could win a Superbowl without us.
Sadly it’s not just football. Any team in Charlotte is cursed. The Hornets, Charlotte FC, the Knights didn’t even win double digit games, hell even the college team is the laughing stock of Division 1 football. Thank god the Hurricanes play in Raleigh
Also sam darnold and steve wilks (i might be forgetting someone else)
The Carolina Panthers were 2 missed field goals away from being the 1st NFL team to go 0-17.
And it would've been glorious to witness.
Thank God for eddy piniero
If Eddy didn't miss that kick against the Falcons last season it'd be quite interesting to see where they would be.@@carsonluke9573
Buying a restaurant to make life hell for a staffer you don't like is the kind of thing the the Penguin does in Batman comics. As in it's one of his most character-defining stories.
A literal comic book villain.
That was great in the comics, less so in real life.
too bad he doesn't have peguins great looks and brain.😏 just a kingpin mini-me, emphasis on mini🤏😩🤡🍻😁✌😎
I wonder if he did that to the restaurant that “insulted” him on draft day 🤔
'If he ran Rome we would have learned about Ancient Carthage in middle school.'
This was the cleverest thing ever said in a youtube football breakdown. Congratulations, Tree.
He watches Oversimplified on the side.
Tepper Delenda Est
As a Washington fan who's just coming from under the dark cloud of horrible ownership, I feel for Panthers fans. But at the same time, I'm so relived that I can look at other teams deal with bad ownership while not dealing with it myself.
All that's needed from Tepper is to say that the Culture is actually damn good.
@@UHOH_415 Oh, it's coming. And Panthers fans at minimum probably have two decades of Tepper to deal with.
I feel the exact same way bro 😂
As a fellow Commanders fan I feel the same way. Though I felt like at first Snyder cared about the team a bit.
I don't see Tepper cares about the Panthers at all.
Remember the ride never ends for none of us as fans😂
Frank Reich: "I want Stroud"
Tepper: "No."
Also Tepper: "I'm firing you because of how the guy you wanted all along is doing"
Frank Reich probably: "Thank fuck I'm out of there"
You know you're a shitty human and owner when no one blames the coach and players for the bad game play on the field
Stop it bro Reich is a horrendous coach and that’s why he was fired
@@LilWindex1378Also because Tepper was inpatient and chose wrong.
@@LilWindex1378idk man he was good in Indy and he was only cut bc he dared to tell Irsay no
@@RUSTYCHEVYTRUCKFrank begged for Wentz and got everything he wanted from Irsay and his best season ended in a blowout divisional Rd game with Luck under center. The guy is a fraud who is praised for being a QB guru yet his best season in Indy was with two vets a year away from retirement. As a Colts fan I think the Panthers will be fine with Young, he just got robbed with Frank as his HC in his rookie season.
Tree never fails to hate on awful teams and make it hilarious

David Tepper wants his Panthers to be like that one famous cartoon both adults and kids can love for generations, but there’s one massive problem.
The cartoon is Teppertubbies.
and it ain't funny, cute or entertaining just proud boring blubbering from a pro loser.😩🤡🤣🍻😁✌😎
David Tepper forcing Fitterer and Reich to trade up to draft Bryce Young is like the old Bucs owner Hugh Culverhouse throwing away first round picks like candy which also turned into first overall picks... for the other team they traded with. When Hugh Culverhouse is mentioned in the same sentence as you as an NFL owner, you REALLY fucked up.
When your incompetence makes Jimmy Haslem and Jerry Richardson look like geniuses, you TRULY have fucked up.
The panthers became a broken franchise ever since Super Bowl 50!
That is true, sadly.
Not true, 2018
Same goes for Denver
@@Nick-1990 At least they won.
Cam Newton regressed after that game
It usually takes years to find out who "won" a blockbuster trade but the fact that we found out in a matter of months who won (the Bears, which is rare in its own right) is truly damning of how badly Tapper and the Panthers botched it.
Months? We found out the day of the trade. We all knew we were going to need a QB this upcoming draft, but yet you decided to give up the house and the very receiver that Steve Smith told you to get? How do you win? I like CJ Stroud down here in Houston. The guy has his head on straight and is rightfully beloved by Houstonians. Thank God he didn't get drafted and destroyed by my Panthers.
Seriously, as a Bears fan I can’t believe someone actually agreed to that trade
The panthers now are like the 2019-2020 end of Gettlemen era Giants. Put all your chips on the table, sign everybody now and hope you win big. Didn’t really work out. He also wasn’t that spectacular as the GM of the panthers but I digress
As a Bears fan, I say both would've won if Tepper hadn't meddled and forced them to draft Young. Everyone wanted Stroud and from this season you can clearly see why.
@@jasonedwards6501nah most scouts and teams had young at the top of their board. stroud probably wouldve done a little better than bryce if the panthers took him but nothing too substantial

@@lunarumbreon7699 Cam for half of 2018 then he got hurt
I don't think I've ever seen an owner come in and completely destroy a franchise faster than David Tepper. The Panthers' franchise, as a whole, is in a dark abyss with no light at the end of the tunnel. Forget the Factory of Sadness in Cleveland, this is the Corporation of Sorrow in Carolina.
Tbf when Dan Snyder took over the Washington Redacted they were one of the biggest teams in the NFC and its been a FUCKING disaster ever since
Their now 1 of only 6 teams in the NFL not to have reached a conference championship game this century and with the lions and texans in action in the divisional that figure has a decent chance of shrinking
@@kurtpunchesthings2411The panthers were coming off our best period in franchise history when tepper bought the team. Lots of squandered potential from managerial incompetence sure but still not a bad run being the first team to ever win 3 straight nfc south titles. And unlike Tepper, Snyder grew up a Redskins fan and at least cared about the history and culture of the team. Tepper has contempt for everything that preceded him and has called fans basement dwellers on multiple occasions. He is literally wealthy trailer trash and, solely on the football wide of things, worse than Snyder imo when you consider that he has all of the same downsides Snyder did with the added perk of actively trying to destroy every single thing that made the team unique.
He's Jerry Jones if he learned what football was 20 minutes ago
If the 49's win this season, it would be poetic as it would show us an owner who was in Tepper's spot but then had a change of heart.
Even if they don’t do anything, the fact that no one talks about Jed York anymore is a testament to how things have changed over there.
I think the ghost of George Steinbrenner scared Jed York straight.
you know this video is crazy when it’s not a two minute laugh-a-thon but a 12 minute exposure of your franchise
Jesus fucking Christ
It’s not the first time for the Panthers to get a video like this.

David Tepper said he wanted to run the Panthers like a hedge fund. Always run far away from people who say they want to run something like another thing that’s completely different.
Damn, that sounds like many of society’s greatest conflicts in a nutshell.
In communist Russia, the politicians that knew nothing about farming, decided to change the way farming was done. The result was 20,000,000 people starving to death.
Everyone in New Orleans, Atlanta, and Tampa love this guy. That’s all you need to know
It’s funny how while the Carolina Panthers have started a potential horrific dark age after getting an elite quarterback and a huge Super Bowl run in their recent history, the Florida Panthers, a team that had been a huge afterthought and basically considered the easy option to move somewhere else, have maintained their upswing from the recent playoff run and have very likely revitalized their overall long term fortunes as a franchises. The teams with glorious riches crashing down and those in the doldrums coming up is a common occurrence in sports, but it’s still fascinating to witness.
Not just Florida Panthers, but Carolina Hurricanes too. Raleigh loves Rod (we always have) and Tom Dundon.
If you want to see the dichotomy of ownership, you don't even have to leave the state.
As someone South Florida, panthers hockey has been making up for the absolute choke job the dolphins pulled
We're seeing some of it up here too with the Minnesota Timberwolves, since at the same time Glen Taylor is gradually selling more of the team to Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez (Yes. A-ROD), the team is currently leading the West in their best start to a season in franchise history.
Hopefully, the good fortune holds. The Twin Cities have always been an underrated basketball town, and have been in dire need of hope in that sport.
Been to a few Panthers games in the past calendar year, they're a fun watch. One thing about South Florida, if the team is winning, they'll show up (see FAU men's basketball. From a half empty arena two years ago, to completely sold out home games this season.)
NFL fans: We're finally free from the annoyance of Dan Snyder!
David Tepper: I wouldn't say freed. More like "under new management"
😂😂😂
Under new "mis"management.*
A Megamind reference. Well done!!
Dan Snyder: Your not free... i just "relocated" appox 250 miles to the south.
don’t say nfl fans as a whole, most of them have never had to deal with either snyder or tepper
David Tepper is falling for the same trap so many owners have fallen into. Because they’re the owner they feel like it’s their show but they don’t let their football guys make the football decisions. And this is what you have. It’s crazy how everybody but him sees it
This is why Robert Kraft is one of the best owners of all time
He doesn't get involved in that stuff he just basically says OK Bill run this team and I'll give the money for salarys
It worked very week 6 superbowls In 24 years imagine average a superbowl win every 4 years for a peorid of 24 years ....
Another example were the DeBartolos in San Francisco. They wouldn't have achieved their success in the '80s & '90s if they were meddlesome.
Panthers psl owner since 99. Thanks for making this @urinatingtree
The nfl fans outside of Carolina need to know how drastic it is now here. He makes me nostalgic for Jerry Richardson openly
Every year he’s owned the team has been worse, even the field got downgraded to bad turf under him. Fitting considering the original field was made of 1 yard squares of dirt of EACH county in the 2 Carolina’s. Symbolic. And the first thing that bald artard did it rip it up for astroturf. The football gods will act accordingly
Thank you Tree for making a Panthers vid on this dumpster fire,hope this vid reaches Tepper so he can finally SELL THE TEAM and bring his “culture” with him
But the culture is actually damn good
@@toyotaecwdamn you beat me to it 🤣
Didn’t he just buy the team ?
@@vince11harrisyeah and he’s fucked it in that little of time. Honestly impressive
@@vince11harris and?
Tepper basically acts like every 14 year old who plays madden franchise and expects perfect seasons every time. Theres meddling owners and then there's petty assholes with an attitude
Twenty years ago, the Panthers were one of the best teams and the Lions were the joke of the league.
How times have changed.
Yeah now we have two blue kitty teams to laugh at, what a time to be alive
You could say it was the same case just 9 years ago
8 years ago, the Panthers were 15-1 and the Lions were a joke.
The second-year Panthers completely broke the Cowboys in 1997 and they’ve never recovered since. Tepper can’t even take that way from them.
@@smidge6532 Why should we be laughing at the Lions? They are a good team. They aren't the laughingstock they once were.
If the fucking Hornets are not only a better owned team, but also a better preforming team delete your franchise now.
Charlotte is just an Abyss for sports. We all just saw the shit show that is the Panthers but the Charlotte FC isn’t great. Hell the Knights couldn’t even crack 10 wins in a baseball season. Even the college team is the laughing stock of D1 football. At least the Hornets look competent on occasion. Thank god the Hurricanes play in Raleigh
@@lunarumbreon7699Charlotte FC has the same owner as the Panthers as well as the same amount of fired coaches!
@@tehbeernerd sadly they can’t fire the one man who needs to be, Tepper
Tree as a Panthers fan I gotta say thank you for making multiple videos about our sad little franchise. We're one of the least discussed teams in the league even when we've been good. Cool to see one of the larger sports CZcamsrs give us some attention. You make me hate the Steelers less
As a Carolina Fan, when people ask what my favorite team is, I just tell them I don't have one.
There's always the Hurricanes.
Yeah I really need a new NFL team to pull for (but then again, I care a little more about college football anyway)
"So what's your favorite NFL team?"
SPORTS ARE STUPID!
@@HaydenU I really became a fan when Delhomme hit the scene. Him and Smith were just magical. Then you had Cam and Luke. Spectacular. Since then... dark days. The darkest.

Somewhere in my Panthers heart, I knew a video like this was coming. Personally, I knew as soon as we let Steve Wilks go, I had a feeling we were screwed.
Boy, that was an understatement.
Let us not forget that the Panthers had QB Baker Mayfield playing scout team, hand-in-the-dirt DE while he was there. How do you even come to these decisions
The main problem is that Tepper is trying the same approach he has ever known: the capital markets approach.
Unfortunately, sports aren’t don’t necessarily translate the same methods well, and he is losing it because he knows that. He is very much a value (even deep-value) investor, which is why he thought he could get by with some no-names and thinking they could be undervalued (like Billy Beane). He cannot properly value assets. So he decided to switch up and splurge, on the hopes of a quick turnaround.
He needs to wisen up quick
Tepper said he wanted to run the Panthers like a hedge fund, that tracks
I know he has plenty of problems on his own, but goddamn. Bryce Young is literally being set up to fail.
What problems?
@@vince11harris What problems? Have you seen him play? He isn't horrible but he damn sure ain't good.
That Carthage line might be the most savage thing Tree has ever said
Don’t let this distract you from the fact that the Panthers may have already ruined Bryce Young’s career.
Worst passer rating in the League this year, edging out Zach Wilson and the burnt husk of Mac Jones. If he doesn't develop, dude might go down as one of the biggest busts ever considering the haul Carolina gave up for him, and it's entirely the team's fault for being such a clownshow. Fucking brutal.
Ah here it is. The video I’ve been dreading to enjoy.
We are living through CMC vicariously.
Carolina never really recovered from Super Bowl 50
I mean yea they were trash in that game
The memory I'll always have if that game is cam just standing like a fucking NPC while Von Miller recovers a fumble
Idfk what anyone says YOU FUCKING DIVE ON THE BALL in that situation
Bu but but he could have got injuried
Bitch this is a superbowl you gotta take these risks this was a 4th quarter omfg
And we never will
As a Bears fan, thanks for D.J. Moore and the #1 pick.
The Bears will of course fuck it up, but you did your part Carolina.
If the rumors are true and Kliff Kingsbury gets hired, I will cry.
I figure he might be a vic fangio type. Good OC, not good as a HC. Would definitely rather not have him but if we do take him, wouldn't be as pissed compared to some of the other candidates@@snakeowski6748
Ur welcome, kms
Damn, you know things are down horrendous when Tree makes two videos on you in the span of a little over a year.
It's a bad thing to finish as the worst team in the league. But it's even worse to do that and not have your first-round pick in the upcoming draft
I've been a fan of this team for over 20 years. I've seen a lot with this franchise. I remember when they made the Super Bowl in 2003 and nearly derailed the Pats dynasty out of nowhere. I remember when John Fox overstayed his welcome and led to a miserable 2010. I remember when Cam Newton led this franchise out of the doldrums and eventually went back to a Super Bowl. All of that support for this team ends now. I'm not watching or supporting this team until Tepper no longer owns the team.
There's no reason to follow this team or Charlotte FC over any other team in the state. The Hornets have some young exciting pieces, the Canes are a perennial contender looking to get back to a Cup final, the Checkers just had an outdoor game, the Knights and Bulls are fun to watch in AAA, and there's been rumblings about a potential MLB team in the state. Quite simply, no one needs to care about anything Tepper does here. I only hope it convinces him to sell up to someone that cares, but knowing him, he'll probably look for an excuse to move the team to a city that is willing to put up with his bullshit and take Charlotte FC with him.
Imagine being so terrible at your job that you don't even have access to a 1ST ROUND Draft Pick where you desperately need it the most.
I live in Charlotte but not a Panthers fan. The hate for Tepper is PALPABLE in this town. Whether it's the Panthers or CLTFC I haven't met a single person that likes him.
Such a shame for Carolina, as soon as Snyder is forced out, a new successor is crowned. Hopefully, it just doesn't last 3 decades like Snyders.
5:34 and it sure does help when the team that drafted you also gained more draft capital from a player, they had no intentions of ever playing with ever again in Deshaun Watson. All the Panthers traded away assets, the Texans gained assets to help their young franchise quarterback. It definitely helps having an all pro left tackle there as well in Houston.
here’s the kicker: cal mcnair is a blithering jackass too. he just stayed out of the way after he got rid of jack easterby’s dumbass.
"If David Tepper ran Ancient Rome, we'd be talking about Ancient Carthage in middle school"
🤣
And now, Steve Wilks must have a shit eating grin watching Carolina's shitshow as the new DC of the 49ers.
Probably only at Tepper. I doubt he is smiling at the suffering going on in Charlotte.
he deserves it. i fucking hate the 49ers, and i want to see that choker shanahan eat shit again, but i would like to see cmc and steve win a ring.
Great video. You failed to mention a couple of other points about how awful Tepper has been for my city. He made a whole scene about how he is going to relocate the Panthers practice facility, basically their HQ, and include the Charlotte FC with their new facility. This is fine because BoA is fairly old even with the upgrades they've made over the years.
However, the project was pulled out. The Panthers (David Tepper) paused all construction and abandoned everything in nearby Rock Hill, SC. There is a $20M lawsuit. Charlotte is a massive city. Arguably one of the largest in the southeast and banking hub. I'm one of the few who grew up here. I, and several of my close friends, would gladly like to see this franchise move or relocate if it meant that David Tepper was out of town.
I mentioned Rock Hill, SC in the previous vid. That was just a shitshow and a half with no return. Eastland was a strange situation. Too many grey areas to properly assess if it was his or the city's fault.
Charlotte Chased George Shinn tf out of town, so it would be tradition...
"Worst NFL Owners" is NOT a succeeding mantle to inherit
Someone had to fill in the role that Dan Snyder left when he sold Washington. And he's speedrunning that gloriously.
P.S: I bet you Tepper is seething seeeing CMC thrive in San Francisco, and is staying healthy for a Super Bowl contender. But it's a C- trade right ESPN?
Then, he passes on CJ Stroud for Bryce Young and is still getting the same futility as before. Yep, Tepper's turning the Panthers from a once Super Bowl Contender to being a clown act. Worst part is that he's not taking accountability for his poor decisions.
@@ladyfire44every team needs a guy that thinks he’s the smartest man in the room, and the Panthers have Tepper
ESPN's hatred for CMC was pathetic
At this rate Tepper is on his way to eclipsing Snyder in only half the time.
Please refer to us as the Tepperlina Panthers until we are set free. This is a franchise under siege
Remember the Panthers being good and being Super Bowl contenders…
Good times…
WHO DAT!!!
The good old days, now all we have is a idiot as a owner and no winning seasons since 2017.
Panthers fans have my pity
I remember. Then Von Miller crushed our dreams... I miss that 2015 team.
More head coaches in six years than in the first two decades of operations… under a different owner.
I was NOT expecting Lionel Messi to be mentioned in this video!!
PEKKA RINNE IS TOO GOOD RN
DUMPSTER FIRE
The curse of Wilks will hang over this franchise for decades
Being a Panthers fan, we are in actual hell right now. Self medicating through watching 2015 highlights till the situation improves I guess?
I came back after he confronted a restaurant about a sign that read “Let the COACH and GM pick.” He even grabbed a guy’s hat off of his head. That’s the second he’s been caught assaulting someone. Even Dan Snyder wasn’t this fucking stupid
I go to college in Charlotte and I swear I see more steelers, Jets, and Giants fans than I do Panthers fans lol
The long-awaited sequel to Rhules of Engagement, I see. As a Texans fan, I'm glad the NFC South somehow manages to be even more of a clownshow than the AFCS.
I look forward to our battle on Saturday. It’s good to have y’all back in the playoff ranks
@@OrioleFan336 damn ravens got hands
@@satagaming9144 I really thought it’d be closer. But y’all will be back for sure. Keep getting better!
I feel bad for Bryce Young. I think he has a lot of potential but won’t be able to show it due to the team being ran by the most incompetent owner in the league
Even if Tepper sold the team tomorrow, his insistence on the Bryce young pick and trade set the franchise back 5 years
From the football side of things the Panthers are a relatively easy fix. Young is going to be a great QB. My fear is it won't be with Carolina. He's just like Drew Brees, and I think if Tepper is still around we're his San Diego.
How much do you want to bet that Tepper is triggered by the fact that the Hornets and NASCAR exist in Charlotte
Imagine an organization being more incompetent than the freaking Hornets...
I feel bad for Charlotte. The most successful organization they have is a minor league team: The Checkers. Hell, I would argue that the trash Charlotte Knights are better run than the Hornets and Panthers.
I'm a die hard Panthers fan and I can say without a doubt that was the worst season they ever had. The current state of the team on and off the field is so painful to watch. It makes me sad every day...
It’s even worse than Seiferts 1-15 and the Claussen disaster. Those squads were at least competitive
Thank you, Tree, for once again eloquently displaying the why my Panthers are such an awful organization from top to bottom.
Gee, who would have thought running a football organization wouldnt be like running a private equity firm.
Oh wait. Tepper thought that.
RayCon: UT’s sugar momma sponsor. Always reliable. Never fails.
As a rival fan please, don’t sell Mr. Tepper. Your desperation is hilarious to the rest of the NFC South.
David Tepper more like discount Penguin
Tepper moving training camp out of Spartanburg, SC (my hometown, not a Panthers fan though) really shows how much he cares about the Carolinas. He has screwed over both North and South Carolina since he becomes the owner. The extra tourism that Spartanburg gets from Panthers Training Camp helps us. Wofford College has hosted training camp since the Panthers’ inception. It’s just sad. Not to mention Rock Hill getting screwed over as well.
The biggest thing for me is the trade. They trade away DJ Moore a guy who they had already paid, over Brian Burns, who just had his worst season since his rookie year, and now refuse to pay him. Its baffling especially when your investing the pick into a QB
I will add that the Texans scheme is actually quite good, it’s SF’s scheme and they’re a top 10 offense in football.
For as long as Tepper is here, I've fully checked out of this team and I expect about everyone else in the Carolinas to do the same. Hard to support a team with the next coming of Dan Snyder at the helm.
Save me Carolina Hurricanes ... Carolina Hurricanes ... Carolina Hurricanes save me ...
Agreed. But the sad part is that we have to support them just enough so we can keep the Panthers here. I wouldn't be surprised if Tepper takes them out from under our noses and moves them to St Louis or Oakland.
Also, it's weird to think about how the instant the Panthers started going to shit, the Hurricanes turned their ship around and became a top contender in the league. I guess it helps that the Canes got acquired by a good owner who decided to hire a beloved and well respected individual within the organization to be head coach. Funny how that works out. The players bought into Rod (helps when you have Justin Williams and Jordan Staal vouching for him). Likewise, the players bought into Wilks, but Tepper was too prideful to understand that.
@@troybaxter good ownership can do wonders for a team, man. That's exactly what happened with the Hurricanes and I couldn't be more grateful for it. At least there's one fairly successful pro sports franchise in the Carolinas that's fun to watch, and I wish the same could be said for the Panthers.
I would love to support them, and I still try to buy into them as much as I possibly can, but Tepper makes it so unbelievably hard. It's hard to root for a team that's getting driven into the ground as much as the Panthers are, and it sucks so much because there's definitely so many football fans here that would love to show out for the team if not for Tepper. I fear for how long this will last ...
he made me a full time nba fan. my raptors suck ass right now, but oh my fucking god, it’s way better than the panturds.
Theres nothing more rough than being a panthers fan in texas having to deal w not only arrogant cowboys fans but now texans fans too to remind me of stroud
I think I said on that video last year that Tepper was the new Dan Snyder. Now I think he's speedrunning Snyder's tenure. How soon until the scandals and the name change?
EDIT: Just checked, and yup, I did say he was the new Dan Snyder.
Oh i how i pray that he gets many accusations of harassment and is forced to sell the team🙏
We finally got rid of Dan Snyder, only to immediately get Dan Snyder's evolved form. Damn.
In before Tepper sees this video the next time he wants a self-gratifying evening with lotion and a box of Kleenex while Googling himself and makes Tree disappear like Hoffa. We'll miss you.
It's been long overdue, tbf.
David Tepper isn’t even the first bad owner in Charlotte pro sports history, also see Michael Jordan (owner of the Bobcats/Hornets) and George Shinn (old owner of the original Hornets)
Panthers/CLTFC fan here. Since Tepper bought the team I was hoping that each move made was a coherent step toward something bigger, even if the move didn't pan out. Moving on from Riverboat Ron, Cam, Olsen, etc, hiring Rhule, trading for Darnold/Mayfield, not hiring Wilkes full-time, etc. I even thought Fitterer might have made a decent move going for Bryce, though the price was pretty steep. And that's just on the Panthers side. CLTFC has been as much of a carousel of chaos.
This season finally snapped me out of it. Tepper has no vision, no plan, and no clue. For christsakes our top rusher was drafted because his wife thought he was a good choice. I think we all knew the 2015 team was going to break up eventually. But what it's become is a farce.
You articulated the frustration of being a Charlotte sports fan as if you were a local, Tree. Thank you for the wise shit posting!
Oh well, at least UNC and Duke are in the Top 10... 😂
I am surprised you didn’t mention the practice facility in Rock Hill that was never completed (it has since been demolished).
he did last year
Congratulations, Carolina Panthers. You have your very own Dan Snyder 2.0
As a panthers fan god help us.
Didn’t expect to see another Panthers vid so soon. The Panthers can now join the Calgary Flames for teams that are certified circuses.
Dean Spanos deserves its own video! 🤣🍿🔥
As a Bears fan, I can't thank you enough, David Tepper. Not only did you let us fleece your team, you somehow make the McCaskeys look like competent owners
Shoulda kept Wilks.
As a Panthers fan since the very beginning, the defection part of this video really hit home. I've been looking for another team to root for since Frank Reich got fired (not to say the firing wasn't deserved, it absolutely was). I figured it wasn't gonna be great this year, but it was far worse than I could have ever imagined. Letting DJ go like that will forever live in infamy for me. This isn't worth the heartache. I'm done. Maybe I'll come back when the dysfunction ends (if it ever does), but until then, it's been real Panthers. 👋😥
i’m at my breaking point too. i’m just too emotionally attached to this sad shithole of a “professional football” team.
@@ihonestlydontevenknow4359 Yeah, I hear you. The emotional attachment will never go away, I just can't support a team that has such awful ownership. I would say leadership, but that's nonexistent. Tepper exiled all the leadership and replaced it with pawns to stroke his own ego. Not hiring Steve Wilks as the HC just made me wanna cry. He could've been our Dan Campbell. The guys would run through the depths of hell for him. Thanks for sapping the passion from the fanbase Tep. At least you brought things to Charlotte that were already there.
love these types of videos from you tree, keep it up! :)
Hate to see it, the Panthers are the League's new Browns 😵💫
i’d rather be the browns. at least they had their first round picks.
You may believe that David Tepper has systematically destroyed the Panthers’ culture, but that’s not actually true.
The culture is actually damn good.

Are you excited for the 2024 draft?
Appreciate the shoutout to service workers 💯
Major League Soccer and Charlotte FC mentioned!
Bring on the Tepperville Tiddly-winks. And thanks again from Chicago!
Trading CMC was the dumbest move and as a Hawks fan I will never forgive the man
Love Yew Tree. Thanks for another great season of Stillers football coverage
Tree with the great videos like these again are my favorites
