I know Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson, and I believe he’d love to talk to somebody, look them in the eye and say something like: “What I did and said is being taken out of context. I was joking. I’m not the creepy old man I’m portrayed to be.”
The news last week should devastate him, and I suspect it does. A former Richardson employee with the Panthers not only made creepy-old-man allegations about Richardson, but she backed them up with handwritten notes Richardson gave her.
I’ve received several notes from Richardson. When I was laid up with a concussion, he sent several, all supportive.
