Texans owner Bob McNair died on Friday at the age of 81, the team announced.
McNair purchased an NFL expansion franchise in 1999, giving Houston its first team since the Oilers moved to Tennessee in 1997. It was a landmark event for H-Town and for professional sports as a whole. McNair paid $700MM for the team, which dwarfed the $140MM price paid for the Jaguars and Panthers expansion franchises just six years earlier.
McNair was an entrepreneur who struggled to find his footing after college. After several failed businesses, he founded Cogen Technologies in 1984, a company that later blossomed into the most profitable energy cogeneration outfits in the world.
McNair battled multiple types of cancer in recent years, but his health situation took a turn for the worst in 2018. We here at PFR extend our condolences to his wife Janice and the rest of his family.
Thank you Bob for healing the broken hearts of so many young boys and girls that the oilers left behind. #thankyoubobmcnair
Rip
Don’t want to take away from his passing.. RIP Mr. McNair.
However the first sentence of the second paragraph is absurd. In 1999 McNair gave Houston its first team since the oilers moved in 1997…… 2 years, their first team in 2 years!! Terrible writing
1- Shut up.
2- Punctuation , if you want to discuss writing.
3- If you do not want to take away from something, you do t do it.
*don’t
Your life is that bad? You’re dumb and miserable l feel sorry for you
I definitely picked up on that too. Not great writing.
I think the Titans chances of winning Monday just went from slim to none.
Hahaha
Maybe all the Texans take a knee for him
Sad day.
Was a big fan of the real Air McNair
Texans are doing so well. Sad to see him pass before seeing how the season ends. RIP MR. McNair.
