HOUSTON - Houston Texans owner Bob McNair says former Enron boss Kenneth Lay no longer has a financial interest in the team. <br>
<br>
McNair bought Lay's minority stake in the NFL expansion franchise. <br>
<br>
A Lay family spokeswoman confirmed the sale, but neither she nor McNair would reveal the amount. McNair owns 70 percent of the team after paying $700 million for the league's 32nd franchise in 1999. <br>
<br>
Enron filed for bankruptcy in December, leaving thousands of employees jobless. <br>
<br>
The federal government is investigating the downfall, but no charges or indictments have been handed down.
