    Mack can't afford the 4.63 Billion the Texans are valued at. To buy the Texans, it would be over $5-$6 Billion because of the market. Broncos sold for $4.65 Billion (most recent team).

    Mack can get some investors to join him
    Just like when Jay Z bought part of the Nets

    Elon can afford it

    Haha not sure about mack but I'm fully onboard with the idea that tinman (not tilman) is better than ownership

    I know people here don’t like Tilman and think he’s not a good businessman

    But have you seen how many fat people and their fat kids go to his restaurants and Kemah?
    How many degenerates go to his casinos in Vegas and Lake Charles?

    He’s making money , waiting to get lucky on the Rockets like Les did with Yao.

    Les milked Yao like Elsie the cow. He even talked about Yao when Harden was the star

    haha good one.

    Agreed about him hoping to get lucky (rocks are a lucky franchise)

    Besides the championships/Barkley years into 99 yao was the best thing that ever happened to this board

    I enjoy sh*tting on this fraud ownership and have been doing so here in cf for a long time. It is my hometown and we deserve better. I was a huge oilers fan and I had high hopes when a new team came to town only to see this ownership group trash that. It's taken 20 years but folks finally catching on. Don't worry man I haven't seen a single snap.

    When in car I sometimes listen to am radio and it is like a propaganda on 610 around Texans..and yes it does cause me to 'care' that this ownership is such a fraud.

    all while the the sports broadcasters do everything to insulate this ownership. It's like north korea hearing the gymnastics.

    They need to sell the team we are in a nuclear winter. as a life long football fan from Houston you betcha it's a shame and sorry but I f*cking hate this ownership.

    It’s not what the fans want bro

    lots of people didn’t want Tilman
    Knicks fans didn’t want their owner
    Etc

    Elon is about making a good product
    If the Toyota center gets better food and the rockets win and the jerseys aren’t ugly I’m good

    Elon is about stroking his ego. He doesn't want a better product. He just wants a profit his way. He is not a good business man. The best thing he has done is let other people run Telsa and Space X.

    He ONLY WISHES he is Steve Jobs.

    Because we are pissed off that we don't care. We WANT to care.

    This goes much deeper than jumping off the bandwagon because we're having a losing season.

    Besides, this forum would be pretty boring if everyone here was just a bunch of go-fight-win cheerleaders...

    There is criticism and then there is whining. Many on this board just whine.

    If it wasn’t for the Eagle fans
    The Texans would look like the Oakland A’s

    The difference is when the Texans fill it is time to spend money, they will. The smartest thing the franchise did was strip the payroll, take the dead money now and wait. They will start spending money next free agency. If you combined that with the next 2 drafts, the Texans will be fine. The big question is the QB. If you take Young, you build around him on both sides of the ball.
