    I'm guessing 3rd degree burned Jerry Lin fan clinging onto Warrior coattails, but with the Rockets on fire, it could just be garden variety basic troll.

    I hope Fretitta doesn’t plaster his face on murals or force ugly uniforms on the fans

    Nobody likes the Cougars, NEXT. Instead of worrying about fake cougars he should be worried about the white tigers trapped inside a cage at that shitty aquarium. Other than those things, we coo.

    Tostitos Frittata is turning out to be a great owner.

    I like his swag. Like a young Robert De Niro who will someday turn into Les Alexander's OG Marlon Brando -- The Godfather.

    Hate to disagree, but no, they are far from "the same thing." Not that Pappa's (where we always eat when visiting my sister in League City) is the world's greatest seafood, but Landry's isn't worthy of washing their dishes.

    I agree. Les would simply sell them again to someone else after the "repo." He'd wait until the Coronavirus dust settles, though. I don't think Les would sell in such a down market.

    This is an old thread
    Since then people realize there’s much richer people out there

    for example Jeff Bezos’s ex wife has more money than 20 Tillman’s and Les Alexander’s

    Out of respect for Jeff, I'm not going specify why his marriage didn't work out. You watch a PBS documentary on Amazon on their free stream app and study Bezo's behavior, demeanor and weird compulsion and you quickly understand him in-depth.

    If they'd stayed together though, he'd be worth about 1/4 of a TRILLiON dollars today. :eek::eek::eek:
