Houston Comets, RIP

The WNBA's Houston Comets have been for sale since 2006, and, after being unable to find a buyer, are "on suspension" for 2009:

The Houston Comets will suspend operations for the 2009 season it was announced today by WNBA President Donna Orender. A WNBA Dispersal Draft involving Comets players will take place on Monday, Dec. 8.

This is, almost certainly, the death of the franchise - the talent is being dispersed, the season ticket holders are are getting refunds, the arena will find other tenants. It's hard to see how they'd be able to reconstitute in any meaningful way after losing this much momentum. A very sad end to a once-great team.
