The Houston Press' John Royal has a good breakdown of the briefings and filings from the last round of court battles over CSN Houston. You should immediately go read the whole thing, but basically what we find is that the Rockets aren't just the damsel in distress/hooker with the heart of gold in this sordid tale.
Throughout this process the Houston Rockets have generally been seen as
the innocent party, working hard to make deals happen only to have them
vetoed by the greedy Astros...The Astros also stated that when Comcast began considering the
bankruptcy, it asked the Rockets to be the lead creditor. The Rockets
would do so only if paid $500 million by Comcast, which Comcast would
not do.
There is a lot skipped over by our ellipses, so be sure to read Royal's breakdown. Basically you'll find that everybody has been stupid at some point over the last two years.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
