David Tepper off to a winning start

What do you imagine?

I’ll tell you what I see.

Stuffy. Full of buzzwords. Buttoned-up.

Based on first impressions, that’s not David Tepper.

“I should have worn a better shirt,” he quipped shortly after he was unanimously approved by NFL owners to buy the Panthers.

In a way, Tepper had on the perfect shirt. That’s because he forgot the cufflinks that pair with the nicer shirt he planned to wear. But tell me, do you think a guy this self-deprecating was all that concerned about his button-down?

“I have a great appreciation of how stupid I am,” Tepper said when asked if he plans to make changes to the football side of the team he’s buying.
