This is a comprehensive article about the whole dispute. Really well done.

In New Orleans, however, the battle has gotten more personal because Renee, 59, Rita, 38, and Ryan, 35, (who refer to themselves as the Three R’s)

I've pretty much figured out there is no good side or bad side in this, only a dysfunctional family.

I'm guessing all the kids are already millionaires, why would they ultimately care? How many millions do you need?

I agree, there is probably some level of truth and some level of blame on both sides. However, At the end of the day all Rita had to do was be sweet to Paw Paw and find a way to tolerate his new wife, and she gets two sports franchises ( I would sign up for that deal). It seems as though she could not figure that out, so NOLA is probably better off with Gayle at the helm.

The only thing that concerns me with Gayle is I want Loomis and CSP to be held accountable should things slip on the field, and I am a little worried that they would have lifetime jobs under the Gayle model.

Gayle Benson, who once ran a home-sales jewelry business and is twice married and divorced, has “increasingly isolated and alienated Mr. Benson from family, friends, business associates and employees,” according to their complaint.

Is this like Mary Kay?

I guess that will be our only options, Mary Kay vs cray cray! God help us either way!

It will be a shame for New Orleans to lose the Saints because of this shite. I have little doubt it happens though.

This isn't going to affect the Saints staying in NOLA. IF I'm not mistaken, they have to stay until at least 2025 and I haven't heard anything about Gayle wanting to move them. This whole ownership fiasco shouldn't cause them to relocate no matter who gets control of the team. At least, I fricking hope not.

Everything else is irrelevant. The fact that these people refer to themselves as "the three Rs" is the funniest thing I've read all week.

I obviously don't know the specifics, but I imagine there is a buyout and probably wording if the team is sold.
