It's surprising that more gossip about her hasn't gotten out until now. I had heard rumblings that she might be a lesbian but that seemed unsubstantiated. Never anything about her being a spoiled brat that I had heard. This is mostly all news to me.


It's on the front page of the Times Picayune today but I haven't heard anything about it before today.

Honestly, she probably has to act like a hard arse. She is running an NFL team and she doesn't want to appear to be someone a bunch of men can push around, but it seems like she has gone overboard.

She has always been noted to be a good leader and good with business but she doesn't have the hands on mentality to be an NFL owner. There is a fine line for the amount of input an owner should have. A team like the Cleveland Browns have an owner who is too hands on like Jerry Jones. Teams with good owners such as Benson or the Jets know when to step in and when to leave things up to football people. She just needed time off to realize that this is not something she can put on the back burner at any time she needs to be an owner full time or not at all.

seems to me she has just let the team's success and her newfound fame get to her head.

I'm glad Tom Benson is treating her like any other subordinate.

Maybe this will teach her to be more responsible.

Didn't we win a Super Bowl with a girl running the franchise?

I don't understand what her sexual preference has to do with anything.

For the record I heard she don't discriminate on the basis of anatomy. With that being said, no her sexual preference doesn't really have anything to do with her running the franchise. Her lifestyle is another story. She may be coming off as unstable to her grand-pappy.

30 ASSistants in 6 years...

Serously though, it's probably like Lester said, all the new found fame, fortune and power going to her head.

Interesting when you put it this way. Could there be another scandal brewing that involves sexual misconduct/ harassment with assistants (ALA Petrino at Arkansas)?

So is she a rug munch?

Has that been decided?


According to people in this thread she is, but unless she had inappropriate relations with another woman within the organization, I am not sure what her sexual preference has to do with anything.

I am more concerned about how this will affect the organization.
