re: Does this Rita LeBlanc rumors make you worry about our future?

It's more about assurance Loomis being there. Payton wants to know that he won't have to deal with someone else coming in that he might have conflict with. It might be as simple as giving him veto power in the case there was a new GM. Loomis might have some opportunity to bolt for something he liked more (can't really imagine) as much as Rita coming in and wanting to change things. Hell, Benson could put a provision in his will and how the successorship for the Saints should work.
