    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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

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

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

    NFL

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

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