Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta is interested in buying the Saints (1 Viewer)

The Saints are still the only pro team across multiple states.

Sorry but no. The Patriots are the primary team for all the New England states.

Just for kicks, I asked Google Gemini which city is most likely to get the next NFL franchise...assuming it would be San Antonio, St. Louis and OK city.

It replied Jackson, MS,

pretty sure NFL stadiums need running water

The NFL got rid of that rule.
You can now own franchises in different markets.

I know, but I thought the succession plan mandated that the Saints and Pels be sold together.

From here to Atlanta, the Saints are the only pro team.

It replied Jackson, MS, Waco, Shreveport and Little Rock. Try it for yourself.

I think AI's day is not here yet. Anyway, hopefully Gayle asks for an ironclad commitment to stay here.

Ai is just playing stupid. We should be concerned that it's lying to us

For football?

Huh? You don’t think the Commander’s market encompasses Va and Md? Heck, DC isn’t even a state…

I didn't think the Pels were mentioned in it.

Jackson MS lol. The same town that security personnel broke into Deion Sander’s office during his first home game and stole his wallet, phone, etc. Also got his windows busted out of his f-350.

Uh... Is anyone in New Orleans REALLY able to throw stones at another city for having a crime or corruption problem?

Tillman has been flirting with the NHL about bringing a hockey team to Houston. I think it's a lot of bluster on his part though. With the Rockets he has full control of the Toyota Center. Maybe he's looking at the Saints/Superdome as a target. He's worth about 11 billion, owns the Landry's chain of restaurants and all of the brands that come with that. It's massive. It includes Landrys, Salt Grass Steakhouse, Del Friscos, Mastros, Mortons, Golden Nugget Casinos, Joe's Crab Shack, McCormick and Schmick, numerous hotels and much more. Locking up an NFL team and building is worth so much more to him than the team alone. He's blocked out of (the NFL) Houston/NRG Stadium, so geographically and strategically, this could make sense for him.

I’m talking about that Louisiana/Mississippi/Alabama area.
The Saints are the only pro team around.

That’s not what you said…

Bama?

I like having an owner where the most noticeable thing they do is boogie.

You don’t want someone who (possibly) launders money for the mob?
