You also don’t get to storm into a restaurant and accost the host because a sign they put up hurt your feelings, as Tepper did last week when a Charlotte bar begged the Panthers owner to let the GM and coach make this year’s draft picks. Tepper reportedly forced Charlotte to draft Bryce Young instead of C.J. Stroud last spring.

Dilworth Neighborhood Grille, a Charlotte restaurant, had posted a sign that read: “Please Let The Coach & GM Pick This Year.”

It sounded a bit more on the joking side,” the restaurant owner said of Tepper’s surprise visit. “But also a bit mad. Otherwise he would’ve stopped in and had a drink.”
