re: Tillman Fertitta is in talks with the NHL to bring a team to Houston

I have no dog in this fight, but what is wrong with Fertitta? Since buying the Rockets, he seems to have limited himself to writing checks for Toyota Center upgrades, is building a state of the art (arent they all) practice facility and staying out of the way otherwise. He also funded an awesome remodel of Hofhienz for UH. Granted, he slapped his name on it, but if I bought the thing, I would put my name on it as well.

He is just a giant POS. Yes, he is doing all those upgrades but I doubt he is paying for it. He is always stiffing people in construction around the HTown area. There is a running joke about when the checks will stop coming if you are on his job. Sounds like his thought process is I can save 25% if I tie this up in a lawsuit and settle. I would love to have a team here but would hate knowing I am giving him money every time I go to a game.
