New Panthers owner David Tepper didn't say much Tuesday, but he said enough | The Herald

David Tepper has taken verbal shots at Donald Trump and fought back tears while delivering Carnegie-Mellon’s commencement address.

But in his first comments after being approved as the second owner in Carolina Panthers’ history, Tepper didn’t say a whole lot.

Tepper declined to address much about Jerry Richardson, joked with a couple of reporters about their hair (and his lack of it) and took only five questions during a short press conference after NFL owners voted 32-0 to approve his $2.275 billion bid.

But Tepper said the right things on a couple of important topics, including the Panthers’ future in the Carolinas, the importance of winning and his view on equality.
