Description
The NFL Owners Series returns to the TrapDraw for this week's episode. It's our sixth installment as we profile two owners whose teams finished the season at completely opposite ends of the regular season standings.
First up, David Tepper of the Carolina Panthers. We look at Tepper's legendary financial career, his time as a minority owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers, and his tumultuous six years as owner in Charlotte. We also take a look back at the history of the franchise and its original owner, Jerry Richardson.
Then it's up the east coast to Baltimore and Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti. A self-made billionaire, like Tepper, Bisciotti has deep ties in the Baltimore area and, unlike Tepper, has enjoyed a mostly successful tenure as owner.
