Why groom these three people from very young to take things over, and all of a sudden do a 180?


Because, maybe the main one turns out to be personality disordered and a poor choice to run a billion dollar business.

Spoken like SOB lawyer.

So now his spoiled family members are pissed
And now a judge and a shrink get to tell a guy what he can and can't do?

BULLSHITE

If the leblancs are soooo worried about his money, they should have tried harder to make him happy

Not sure if it's been pointed out to you yet, but you are very uninformed if you think this is the only problems with Rita.

Uhh, actually it is, especially if the guy who "promised" it says so.

I agree with the OP. I mean the THIRD wife who's 20 years younger gets the team because of behavioral problems of Rita and his grandchildren? Something doesn't add up.

Sure New Orleans is a provincial town and Gayle comes from a New Orlean's family but someone from New Orleans who comes from good stock shouldn't get a free pass just because she's from a old-line New Orleans family.

Sure she can act the part of a genteel New Orleanian from a good family but that doesn't mean something fishy is happening.

If one person doesn't like you, its more or less likely its that person and not you.

If the whole damn office doesn't like you, its more or less likely its you and not the other people.

Guess which one is Rita?

Because it's his property, his business and he can do what he wants with it.

Rita Benson LeBlanc's conspicuous absence at high-profile events leaves some wondering about her future with N.O.'s sports franchises

From April 22, 2012. This article in the Advocate explains how second thoughts began about Rita.

Pretty interesting.

Yeah, that was not the first time or the last time she was absent.

True, but if you were being groomed to take over for the last 15 years and one day your grandfather says not anymore, what would you do? Just roll over and play dead?

Can you fill us in on some of the draft discussions from the last few years? You are obviously involved in Saints front office decisions, so this should be easy for you. 


Feel free to Google it yourself. There are several reporters who've wrote stories on it over the years

Not really. It's old news that's wildly known.

Sounds like she wasn't living up to her obligations as an employee. Does he not have the right to change her mine if after all those years he doesn't think she would be a good fit?

Shame on them for depending on money that is not theirs.

As far as the 15 years goes. Im sure they were paid more than they were worth

Does no one consider it may be Gayle orchestrating all if this? I mean what, Tom suddenly forgot how to run his businesses? Those allegations should be provable.

So yeah, he can spend his money how he wants, as long as it's him spending it knowingly.

Not really, I don't know either but no one has anything bad to say about her and in Rita's case no one wants anything to do with her. I doubt that's a coincidence.

I don't doubt that the Leblanc side is accurate in their claims

It looks like Benson started this process too late
