francisandbarkleyrule, Just back off a little. Listen to what people are telling you. The fans who have been around for a while have a reason...
The problem with resorting to private financing isn't that it's a bad deal -- it's that if a business pays for it, they will want their name on...
I believe they were interested in Hakeem as an experienced center to lend some support to their team. He had two years left on his contract, and...
Clutch, I think the cautious approach is best. People, and Texans in general, have a gut reflex to threats -- "Come on... Try me." It would...
JR, Please post this type of thing on SOR. I check it daily, and have friends that do the same. It's just that with the talks being done...
ricealum, Absoulutely. The core principal of all sports -- you give the ball to the guy who can do the most with it. When you play well, you...
I think part of the problem was the way he aquired it. He received preferential treatment over the other bidders, including the HCHSA, and...

If he retires, he is effectively ending his contract early. I'm no expert on sports contracts, but it would seem that the Rockets wouldn't pay...
I like the feature too. It's great, especially for us newbies, to be able to see who is a newcomer and who is an old hand. Not to mention, now I...
I don't think anyone on this page could be a Rocket's fan and not appreciate what Hakeem has done. The problem is, that he's reached a point...
Ahhhh. Thank's Davo. I didn't realize that Barkley was at the end of a contract and had signed successive one year contracts. So, the only real...

Virtualy nothing. Almost all the emphasis has been on the presidential race, with a little mention of a contested city council position and...
