He wants a chance on a good team in the time he does have left

....Bob McNair has another son named Cary who, ironically enough, is a very capable fellow. The family itself still owns several large ongoing operations, both corporate and charitable that are larger and more complex than the NFL team. Knowing the end was near for him, Bob McNair put his son Cary in charge of all of that -- over all the complicated businesses and the family foundation. The only thing he trusted Cal with was the idiot-proof NFL team -- the one business no one can screw up.

PFF did a story about this --

"When an outsider buys all or part of an NFL team, a full-blown approval process becomes activated. When an owner of an NFL team dies and transfers all or part of the team to one or more family members, no approval process applies."​

What is it with Houston and its NFL franchise(s)? At least the Rockets and Astros have won championships. You would think that the Astrodome and NRG were constructed on some long forgotten cemetery

I was going to present to you the 1960 and 1961 AFL champion Houston Oilers, but I see started with the Astrodome. Perhaps you are onto something there.

I thought JJ wanted to play for a contender? Sounds like he really wants to play golf.

All the SB contenders surely realized they didn't need him with that price tag, and $23M guaranteed makes it too hard to stick to one's promise.
