Did not realize Tillman owned Vic & Anthonys.

yep, that's why you see it at Golden Nugget. Every restaurant there is part of his group.

Yea, some of the high end restaurants in the Landry's group are legit.

As for the Rocket's Rowdys, they were great the first couple years when it was just some regular joe's that had fun all game. Now with their stupid props and marching around the Toyota center before the game it's become an obnoxious joke.

I've never heard of any of those restaurants. Where are they located?

Many of them are specific to Galveston, Kemah, Houston, and his casino properties. Grotto is good. Vic and Anthony's is good. Morton's is pretty damn good.

Most of them are crap though.

what an odd post to single out, it's not like he was being a dick about it. You must be really thin skinned

Just saw on the tweeter that he spent 71% of his net worth to to buy the Rockets. That's a ballsy play with all the network contracts going on. I don't think he necessarily paid way to much, but leveraging that much of your money is a pretty risky play imo.

You've never heard of Morton's Steakhouse? He also owns the Golden Nugget casinos

whatever percent you think someone should spend, there just aren't many people now who want NBA teams that can swing it

Was wondering about that. Obviously he's rich but he isn't worth $10 billion+.

Interesting move by him. Seems like a good guy from watching CNBC.

Of all the posts people have bumped over my time here, that's probably the weakest.

There is no way I thought they would be sold over what the Clippers were sold for. I guess I was wrong.

I am so glad Swagger has the need to call me out...I feel honored
