David Tepper era gets off to a good start: What’s important to him matters.

Charlotte Observer | July 12, 2018

First impressions of new Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper: He’s relaxed. He wears no jacket to his introductory news conference, and he wears no tie. This frees him to leave the top buttons of his shirt unbuttoned, and he does. We have a new look in Charlotte: Owner Casual.

Tepper is 60, a year older than Jerry Richardson, who founded the franchise, was when his Panthers played their first game. Richardson turns 82 next week.
