@dldove77

Think about this. He owns a stadium that he built off money collected for the right to purchase tickets, in other words, minimal out of pocket $$$. He currently carries the burden of staff and maintenance for the stadium. I could see a deal offered that might make it pretty easy to walk away from BOA.

“…to discuss the status of the stadium effort in L.A. We teed it off (or is it up?)…”

In golf terminology “to tee up” is to prepare for the first drive. “To tee off” is to begin the round. “Tee up” is placing the golf ball on a tee with intent to hit, while “tee off” is swinging the club in the act of hitting the ball.

(or were you just trying to be cute with your golf anology?)

I don’t see the Panthers moving anywhere this next season (if there is a season) except to a repeat of last year’s disaster.

If The Big Cat did move his team to LA, at least Cam Newton would have a better chance of being that cultural icon he wants to be.

That’s exactly what these stories are…fluff to get attention. Anyone who actually bought into the fact the Panthers would even consider moving is laughable and a waste of a bandwidth.

Richardson owns Bank of America stadium. The Panthers aren’t going anywhere.

So, basically, there was no real story, just someone trying to create a stir to generate more hits to his site during a news drought. You weaken credibility and the quality of your product when you do that.
