    Maybe he can send Rafael and Patrick to mastermind their rebuild

    In this case he’s too late. Whoever wins the Commanders’ bid will be taking over a team utterly destroyed by Dan Snyder. Nowhere to go but up.

    i lived in DC for 12 years under Snyder’s ownership. Yes, it’s that bad. There’s no more hated person in the metro area, and that includes all those shisty politicians. Any normal person would have sold a while ago, but this a-hole never cared about the fans…or being scoffed at in public for the life of his ownership.

    All the more reason for him to sell the team to a kindred spirit like TF.

    Anyone else think he'd sell the Rockets if he wins the bid for the Commanders? I've gotten the sense that owning a football team was always the priority-well at least a Houston one, but he seems way more a football guy 1st and even a baseball guy 2nd and basketball like 7th behind MMA, Boxing, Golf and underground Landrys Chef fighting like the Nic Cage movie 'Pig.'

    Bezos, wazup? Make Titman an offer he can't refuse, then get the NBA tv rights and put the Rockets on national tv more than any other team.

    It seems they are in Texans territory now. We know it's our team, but at the same time its kind of not and you got one foot in and one foot out. He caved and changed the team name, but kept the colors so it's like fans know their team is gone even post sale, but they still look kind of the same and the Texans are going to be the same wearing luv ya blue. Washington and Cleveland should have never caved to the pressure. We should never have picked a stupid team name, but that was incompetence vs their wussing out. Now a new owner maybe helps the team get better, but they're a team called the Commanders and their beloved Redskins are forever gone.

    Commanders and Guardians sounds so amateur league.

    Les Alexander made the decision to specifically sell it to Tilman
    Because Les could loan him money and get interest
    Les is a loan shark

    for real

    look at his businesses before the rockets

    Our trophies will probably end up at a pawn shop in Florida

    Snyder doesn’t like Bezos so he’s not letting him buy it

    but he must think Tilman is nice or he’s getting some free rooms at the golden nugget in lake Charles

    Fertitta would be the perfect replacement for Dan Snyder.

    More reason to know this franchise will never achieve anything under Tilman

    At this point, we need star aligning miracle to win. Drafting 3 MVPs in a row (like OKC) and not bungling it or have a top 10 player of all time and hope all the other teams crumble.

    This plot arc is the amusement I needed this weekend.

    First, TF (allegedly) over stretched to purchase Rox. Now Rox would fetch 2x TF’s buy-in price.

    The pandemic happened; so did things like no lux tax on legit contender morphing to divine intervention plea for Wemby. Perhaps the seminal moment of deepest red-faced embarrassment.

    Basketball god’s delivery of the French stud ups Rox value by a guesstimated $1b.

    Whoever gets the Washington franchise can up its value by an estimated $2.5b with new stadium deal. Snyder cannot affect that; new ownership will in a NYMinute.

    Our man Tilman knows the game. Money game. NBA game? NFL game? Money game.

    Les pretty much made The Rockets China's team, Tilman gave Houston their basketball team back and people ova here complaining. I hope he gets The Commanders, good on him for being a great businessman.

    One can only hope that Patrick is now bored with basketball and wants to try football.

    Tilman is a real houstonian. He just wants to bring a championship to this city
