    I wonder how this sale goes? Did Fertitta have to turn over assets to Les or was he part of a group? Did he liquify assets before buying? I'm very curious.

    He spent so much money to purchase the team, then next question is that if he is willing to pay lots of money for CP3 (who is no long young) or others. Les sold the team for a big profile due to the TV deal, also before going to pay CP3, a time is perfect for Les. He seemed to have a sale plan during the last coach hiring.

    Is she aware that TF has been the Chairman of the Board of Regents of UofH during the time the sports programs have rebounded into national prominence? In no small part due to his willingness to spend on top coaches?..

    Why? U know Tilman is part of the mob. I'm sure potatoes head on Twitter has all the answers.

    As long as he delivers......I could not care less.

    But if the team goes down the drain because of him, he will be hold accountable.

    Marketing wise. Popularity of the team. Branding. I'm sure the locker room will look like the golden nugget. Look at what he's done for U of H.

    Players will love to be around him.

    I'm happy with the choice overall. I think many of the people here criticizing don't like the man for his politics.

    An original investor in the NFL's Houston Texans, Fertitta offered $81 million to buy the Rockets in 1993, but the team was sold to Alexander for $85 million.

    I am not familiar with this man's politics. I ask for some education on this.
