If you could own a team in any sport, what sport would it be?

[Brando2101]

Let's say you have the money to buy one team. What sport would you most like to be apart of?

All the money is in the NFL but the NBA seems like it would be a lot of fun too.

[giddyup]

NFL has just the right number of games...

[adeelsiddiqui]

This is a basketball forum...

[Invisible Fan]

NFL has everything better than other leagues.

I'd want to GM an NBA team out of all sports, but that's not the question.

[Mattj]

Swedish Bikini Team....

[weslinder]

I'm not enough of a jerk to be an NFL owner.

So toss up between NBA/MLB, although I might prefer a MotoGP or even AMA Superbike team.

[conquistador#11]

I would love to own a soccer team in Spain;but i don't know if i would be willing to pay Rafa Marquez's and Ronaldinho's salary.Payroll would be a B**ch

[Lil Pun]

Philadelphia Eagles. I'm sure you need about a billion to purchase any NFL franchise right about now.

[MadMax]

Houston Astros

[Zac D]

Probably baseball, maybe soccer, but not MLS - not because I don't like the league, but because owners have much more power in other, decentralized leagues.

[ima_drummer2k]

Rockets.

As much as I hate to admit it, if I were an NBA owner, I would probably be just like Mark Cuban. I'd be at every game (home and away) behind the bench acting like an obnoxious prick. Everyone outside of Houston would loathe me, but I wouldn't care.

But one thing's for sure. The Toyota Center would be the loudest arena in the league because there would be a MAJOR Clutchfans discount. And I ain't talkin' about upper deck tickets or behind the goals either.

[texanskan]

NFL period.

MLB=no cap
NBA=has a cap but is not close to the Giant the NFL is

everything else=not important

Houston Texans
Houston Rockets
Houston Astros
Every other NFL team
Every other NBA team
Every other MLB team
lesser Houston teams ie. Dynamo or future NHL team

[RocketMan Tex]

Swedish Bikini Team....

I'd prefer the Supermodel Nude Pudding Wrestling Team myself..... :D

[justtxyank]

The fan in me would want baseball over all the others.

The businessman says you are an idiot if you don't go NFL.

[Saint Louis]

NFL all the way.

[swilkins]

NFL

My favorite sport, plus it has the best cap structure.

[DaDakota]

Baseball teams have more games make more money and have more value.

Baseball....it is all about the Benjamins baby !!

[Joe Joe]

Baseball teams have more games make more money and have more value.

Depends on the market for the value of baseball teams. NFL teams are all pretty much at least good values with some being great.

[Groogrux]

Due to the labor agreement, NFL.

[updawg]

Texans so I could trade for VY

[MR. MEOWGI]

Texans so I could build a team to destroy VY.

[DaDakota]

Texans so I could build a team to destroy VY.

Gonna take YEARS to do that.

[Brando2101]

Why did this get moved? It's not about the rockets or texans.

[bnb]

I don't think I could stomach signing the cheques for the major sports salaries. Or listen to a player being insulted by a multi-million dollar offer. So ownership of the majors would ruin the sport for me.

A smaller, less powerful team...MLS, CFL, JrHockey, might be fun though.

(And I'd have box seats for the majors!).

[Groogrux]

That's why it was moved. It was originally posted in the Other Houston sports forum.

[MR. MEOWGI]

Gonna take YEARS to do that.

:D

I think we will have a better record this year.

[WWR]

All I know is, is that I would NOT want to own the Comets. :cool:

That's a fact, Jack.

Name your price, Texans will have a better record than the Titans

[kaleidosky]

Name your price, Texans will have a better record than the Titans

i agree.

[swilkins]

Name your price, Texans will have a better record than the Titans

I also agree, but I am usually very optimistic at this time of year.

[DaDakota]

I think we will have a better record this year.

Sig bet?

[StupidMoniker]

NFL, it is the league where the ownership has the most power and the players the least.

You know those stupid kids playing on the court before tipoff?

Those could be you and your friend's kids!

[Major Malcontent]

I'll take it if he won't VY has already cost me a sig. I wouldn't mind some payback.

[MR. MEOWGI]

I can see it happening but no, I won't bet my precious sig on it right now.

[CaseyH]

NFL and its not even close. TV deals, insane popularity and ability to go from 1st to last in one season. Bad deals do not hamstring you completely for years.

[CaseyH]

Sig bet?

DD
I'll take a bet. 7-9 or over I win?

[Yaozer]

I'd be the owner of the Rockets just because I'm a much bigger fan of basketball than NFL. It would be nice owning someone like Tmac and Yao for a change. Things I'll do if I'm the Rox owner:

1. Fire those pricks we call ushers that make us sit down and lower our voice
2. Fire JVG already and get on with it
3. Get Tmac traded for LBJ
4. Jk.. I hate LBJ
5. Out do Cuban and be a bigger prick on the sideline
6. Bring Calvin back
7. Bring back the Power Rangers (or whatever they were called) for halftime shows and such.
8. Wouldn't it be cool if an owner like me could play back up PG or something?

I know NFL is where the dolla-dolla-bill-yawls is, but at least I can still feed my family with an NBA team.

If it's international sports.. I'd own an international soccer team.. like Real Madrid or Barcelona or something. Don't those owners make more than NFL owners? Plus you have a wider international fan base with it.
