I have no problem with a woman owner. My issues with crap teams around the league should say as much.

I harp on the players for bitching about not getting enough money when they moake more in a year then I’ll ever see; I harp on coaching staff’s that had no idea what their doing; I harp on ownership that either looks like they don’t care about their bottom line (Glazers, Jones anybody?) or have a fixation with Tweeter and must absolutely inform us when they go to the can (Irsay is the hint).

Why can’t owners be like the two best examples of keeping things in house and quiet? Pat Bowlen and Robert Kraft rarely make headlines and when they do it’s for a much better reason that “Oh, poor team is embroiled with yet more crap that nobody really cares about!”.

Bah, shut up and give us football. We, the fans, want that good old in-your-face smash mouth where the rock gets pounded, bodies fly, heads come off and somebody gets lit up like a Christmas tree. Y’know, the good stuff.

I hope you read this. So you think the Saints received special treatment after Katrina? You have no clue what this city, and team went through during that time, if you did you wouldn’t make idiotic comments like you did, I feel sorry for you and all of the people that are “haters” making these kind of comments, you’re probably one of the morons that were saying that it wasn’t worth trying to rebuild New Orleans too. Well guess what we came back as a City, a community and our team endured and won a super bowl, I know, go ahead and call it “tainted” like the other losers that can’t stand to see real winners….

The bounty wasn’t “cheating” it was just being vicious and nasty, lets not confuse the two. Just how many “tainted Lombardis” does the great Tom Brady have from spying, which was actual cheating? A lot of you so-called “tough guys” that used to always talk of “punching ‘em in the mouth” have recently become soft puzzies just to justify bashing the Saints. But the signings of Lofton, Hawthorne, and Bunkley means that you puzzies will have to sit back and watch another deep playoff run while bashing. WHO DAT!! no TWO DAT!!!!

The Saints are an absolute mess, I’m actually starting to feel bad for their organization.

=================

hahahahaha…..don’t feel bad for us please. As a Lions fan, you have seen lows that most fans cant even imagine. When was the last time you won a playoff game? Hell, besides last year, when was your last winning season??
sure was nice blowing yall out last year.
Get real dude

You have a guy who builds an empire. He then has children who are born into wealth who take over and screw it all up.

How many times have you seen the owner of a company allow his kids, grand kids and relatives free reign of his company and turn a blind eye to their incompetence? At least Benson is saying, “If you don’t work as hard as me, then you’re out.”

She doesn’t dig in and do the hard work because…. she’s doesn’t have to. She’s got lots of “minions” to do everything for her and because she has all the power and control she can do whatever she wants to. Loves the glitz and world travel and spotlight jet-set highlife stuff…. but no so much the hard work stuff. Thus the “lack of focus” tag. Anytime some lucky sperm club member is “anointed” the ruler of the Kingdom when then haven’t earned the right means the Kingdom is in serious peril. Sounds like old Tom… who built the Kingdom and earned his way in life… sees that his granddaughter hasn’t learned the values and work ethic he wants to see.

b)team could be led by a person who’s commitment isnt there and just cares about money and the spotlight and have a her way or no way attitude kind of like al davis ,minus the football knowledge..

benson better get someone in position to take the rigns thats comitted or it will be hard times in nola and the rreturn of the AINTS and brown paper bags!!!!

Lets do a POLL.
Thumbs UP if you knew this was for Rita Leblanc Benson
Thumbs DOWN if you thought this was for CEDRIC BENSON getting a call from the saints, and the title meant his family issues were why they wouldn’t sign him

Seriously, With BENSON, I assume its cedric benson, not some 85 yr old OWNER. I vote thumbs down, cause honestly who cares about some owners family for the saints?

How about thumbs down for being a moron?

I say this as someone who won’t vote for Romney, but let’s give credit where it’s due.

As far as this story goes, it’s 100% true. I live in New Orleans and heard about this weeks ago from someone who knows the Bensons.
