My memory is hazy so some of the details here might be a bit off, but the gist of this is correct: Houston didn't get an NHL team because of a pissing match between Les Alexander (the former owner of the Rockets) and Chuck Watson (the owner of the Aeros, landlord for the old Rockets Arena, and the man who had the rights to a Houston hockey team). Alexander felt that Watson was overcharging him on rent at the Summit. Alexander also got the rights to the Toyota Center when it opened. To be petty he charged Watson exorbitant rent to play at Toyota Center. The Aeros moved to Des Moines because they refused to pay so much in rent, despite having the third(or so) highest attendance in the AHL. Alexander eventually sold the Rockets to Tillman Fertitta, who also has the rights to any NHL team in Houston, so things are at least smoothed out as far as ownership. That being said the NHL has shown a tendency to place expansion teams in cities with no other sports teams rather than the major pro city/cities in their state (ie Columbus and Raleigh Durham). Still, the fact that Houston has an ownership group and arena already in place is a pretty big leg up, along with the population and wealth in the city. Fertitta bought the Rockets too late for Houston to be considered for expansion (and Seattle was a virtual lock anyway), but there has been a lot of talk about the Coyotes moving to Houston (Kansas City and Quebec are the two other names that come upmost frequently for relocation).

5. I went from Phoenix, Arizona all the way to Tacoma (WA). Philadelphia (PA) Atlanta (GA), LA (CA) But yeah, Reagan is the obvious one.

Yeah this team doesn't have a track record of coming back from a 3-0 deficit or anything

But he had errors in the last two games. That's what happens when you aren't stealing signs. Or something.

Damn you aren't kidding about not hearing anything from these dudes when they take their posts. Carson still heads HUD. Herman Cain is who you're thinking of.

That's a gouda idea. Can't treat this election Havartidly. There's no whey Trump pulls it out if we all show up

Crisco

LMAO Fox "reporter" just said that Trump was debating two people tonight (which is true. Trump was yelling and interrupting everyone). Then said both were spreading the pernicious Charlottesville hoax and that Trump didn't call them very fine people but denounced them forcefully. Something Trump wouldn't even do at the debate.

Biden's not winning on "Fuck Trump?"

Yes they can. However electors from that state cannot vote for them. So if Wyoming votes for Kanye (LOL) their electoral voters would have to choose someone else.

So glad they're back. I need some Astros baseball right now in the worst way.

Good God this album is straight fire. Taking a damn sledgehammer to the system

Yeah the sole reason the Super Bowl has been in Florida, California, or New Orleans 80% of the time is weather. Some locales are sexier than others. Texas ain't as sexy. Also the weather is absolutely a factor for the bulk of the season. Just look at the average temperature and precipitation in Texas vs Southern California in the fall. It's not even close. It's more predictably comfortable (ie: not raining or snowing and not 90 degrees) in LA and San Diego.

Maximum attendance is kind of irrelevant here. I mean StubHub hosted NFL games in 2019 for Gods sake Do you think there's a slight chance the NFL might spring for artificial turf for 2020 if it means their season gets to happen? I've been to TX/OU at the Cotton Bowl. I love TX/OU at the Cotton Bowl. Are you arguing that the Cotton Bowl is in better shape than SDCCU?

Imagine giving every player in the NFL the choice between six months in the Metroplex or in LA/San Diego. There's a reason that SoCal has hosted 11 Superbowls and DFW has hosted 1

jfc this would happen in SoCal if it happens anywhere. Rose Bowl LA Coliseum Stubhub Stadium SoFi Stadium SDCCU (Jack Murphy/Qualcomm) I know y'all in DFW think you are the center of the universe but come on

Those prices are very reasonable. Straight MSRP no markup

I loved the Oilers and that song, but I don't want to associate the Stros with the Oilers in any way

FUCK YEAH CORREA

Did Reddick just hit himself in the face with his batting helmet?

Not impressed with this dude so far

Went to Whataburger yesterday to use a receipt that had a survey for a free burger. The receipt from yesterday had a survey for another free burger.
