@LarryHolder: RT @NOLAnews: Exclusive: Wife Gayle, not granddaughter Rita, to control Saints empire after Tom Benson dies
LINK LINK /

quote:

Benson LeBlanc's offices at the teams' Metairie headquarters recently have been vacated and her company-issued Mercedes-Benz and cell phone have been seized.

She has not participated in team-related business meetings since the end of the Saints' 2014 season. A statement from Benson said, "Rita will not be involved in the ownership or management of the Saints or Pelicans."


Right on que from rumor thread

I'm guessing this wasn't an amicable split.

Wasn't it rumored that CSP said he would never work for Rita?

Gayle just got some major points for being a future owner of the saints. From a solid OT 7 to a 9, easy.

Reminds me of this:

quote:

"I apologize to the people of this country (insert fans of this team) as chairman of Korean Air (insert Saints) and as a (grand)father for the trouble caused by my (grand)daughter's foolish conduct," said Cho (insert Benson), who bowed deeply in front of media crowded in the lobby of the airline's (team's) headquarters.


"I am sorry I did not educate her well," her (grand)father said

Renee Benson gives off a Kathy Geiss vibe in that pic. Very good she won't be involved.

Rumor is that Rita and her mom wanted to have Tom seen by a dementia specialist in order to have him declared incompotent and he blew a gasket.

I think you tie all the money Benson has donated over the last few years, especially huge donation to the Hall of Fame to reach this point. Benson is a wealthy man, but on the poorer side of NFL owners.

Isnt Gayle a old new orleans socialite? This has to be good for the saints staying long term.

I have a bad feeling that Rita now is going to come out with a huge press conference/interview where she claims that she was ousted from the organization for being a lesbian. In other words try to damage the organization as much as she can if she won't be a part of it.
