My hatred for Gayle grows daily. She is the cancer.



She’s a 76 year old former interior decorator who fell into a billion dollar operation Blame Tom’s ole senile arse if you must. He left the circle of trust the real power knowing she had no clue

Good news (or bad) is you get new ownership once she passes away

Would we rather have Rita? She was the first choice

She seemed like an active owner but she probably would have moved the team as well.

Not to mention she ran Dixie into the ground with all the damn woke nonsense.

Unless the city voters change course, relocation is inevitable.

Totally Agree with your post!! You want to see winning committed organizations look no further than the Texans! That’s just one example. KC is another. The 49rs Ravens as well. Those Owners want to win but Gayle is happy to put her hands together with her Special seat at St Louis Cathedral every Sunday so she can pretend to be holier than thou and a Socialite in Her little Circle! Pathetic Owner who could care less about anything but her Monnnnney!

Hear me out:

If you were an inherited billionaire, and one of your inherited companies happened to be a gay bar, would you be concerned how business was??

(Note: I am NOT comparing my dear Saints to a gay bar. I’m just saying that Ms Gayle couldn’t care less about our football team.)

She is a stone cold gold digger that duped the old senile man and turned him against his own kids and grandkids to gain full control of the team.

Agreed, this fish is rotting from the head down. Carmichael isn't gone till DA is gone. DA isn't gone till Loomis is gone. Loomis isn't gone till Gayle is gone.

You knew it was all gonna be a failure when she renamed Dixie Beer.

It’s not about the money, it’s all a vanity project.

With the type of money she has, she has the ability & the means to seek outside help & insight to determine if those who are running her sports franchises are actually making intelligent decisions towards onfield success.

Does she really though? I would not trust her to make that decision. That needed to be done before Tom passed away.

She is the problem with the Saints but she is an awesome ambassador for the city of NO. Great lady but she knows nothing about sports.

All of this is centered around Mickey trying to prove his point that he can win without Daddy Sean. This is personal for him, and it’s coming at our expense


Why would he hire Dennis Allen if he wanted to break from Payton and prove it wasn't him?

Gayle is the owner but she is not particularly interested in controlling what goes on within the Saints or Pelicans organization. She pretty much counts on Dennis Lauscha to oversee both teams, Mickey Loomis to handle the Saints, and David Griffin plus Trajan Langdon to handle the Pelicans. All she does is show up for photo ops etc.



This is 100% fact. Dennis overseas all Benson owned companies.

On another note, several coaches have interviewed with other teams this past week. We are going to lose some key position coaches because Dennis the bean counter won’t pay them more.

She was actually active in the management of the team (at least early on). Hell, she was the one who moved them from LA to St Louis. I don't get the sense Gayle wants to be that involved, at all. Tom died ahead of the 2019 season. At that time the Saints were coming off a year (2018) where they were the #1 seed in the NFC and missed out on a Super Bowl appearance because of a blown call. There wasn't much for the owner to do at that point but stay out of the way.

Since that time the team has slowly declined. But like Frontiere, she's placed autonomous control in the hands of the GM/team president. Guys that have been with the franchise for two decades. The Rams struck gold in 1999 when Kurt Warner came out of nowhere to pair with Mike Martz. Once that pairing ended the Rams went into a tailspin of bad to mediocre for a long time.

Frontiere never fired John Shaw...who she basically let run the team for 30+ years. Rams fans hated him. That history is kind of repeating itself here. Gayle is not going to fire Loomis.
