How do you think Terry Pegula gets a Kim Pegula exactly? (Or own the bills)?

Ever see the Ravens owner wife who was a 45yr old cheerleader banging one of the players?
Big $$$ for their desired physical enhancements and shoe collections.

I love the Pegula family. One day soon they will hoist the Lombardi trophy with a million adoring Buffalo Bills fans in attendence. Josh Allen will do what Jim Kelly could not do...win a super bowl for Buffalo.
I was unaware their daughter was a professional tennis player.

Did she go to IMG? I know the Pegulas have some operations in S Florida called East West Management.

JJ Watt granted his release from Houston.

Not a good time to be a Houston fan.

Hasn’t been a good time to be a Houston fan since Bill OBrien got Gm responsibilities. What’d he trade their receiver, Hopkins, for? A pack of garbage pail kids and some of that old cigar gum candy?

It is really a crappy thing though because Watt has done a boatload for the community and made a very clear commitment to the Houston area so this tells me the owners are on the level of Daniel Snyder and the former La Clipper owner Sterling.

The move is being spun as a benevolent one by Houston ownership to Watt, as they released him outright, instead of trading him for compensation.
It may be nicer to Watt, and avoided any more public pissing matches between players and leadership (like with Watson). But it's even more depressing if you're a Houston fan who sees a potential commodity released for nothing. More signs the team isn't interested in winning anytime soon.

Which is why hanging onto Watson makes no sense. Going rate is probably 2+ 1st round picks plus other consideration. That could help accelerate a rebuild real fast. What they’re doing to Watson feels semi punitive.

I wonder if he'd like to try pro rugby? The SaberCats said they could find a spot for him, he could keep his 99 and he wouldn't have to move. Of course with his $$ he could probably buy the team!

Correct about O'Brien but he was a contributing problem before it came to that point. He and GM Rick Smith didn't always get along and O'Brien wasn't the QB and offensive genius he was touted to be.

Many in Houston were and are accepting of the Texans because they have an NFL team while overlooking the flaws of ownership, management and coaching.

My wife is a huge tennis fan and she claimed the large family room TV this evening to watch Jessica win her third round match at the Aussie Open.

How is the temperature over there? Wondering if things are a little cooler since they moved the event several weeks later in the season. Some years the temperature can be absolutely beastly, over 100°.

J Pegula won in straight sets to move on to 4th round against #5 seed Svitolina on Sunday.

Expecting a high of 69f in Melbourne on Sunday.

Gets so darn hot in that country in their summer that they change the playing surface to grass.
