New Orleans Saints-Pelicans owner Gayle Benson and Gov. Jeff Landry are leaving this weekend. They have a big trip planned to New York next week. During the two-day excursion, the powerful tandem will visit with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and NBA commissioner Adam Silver to update them on the business affairs of Saints and Pelicans and to re-emphasize the state’s interest and readiness to host future Super Bowl and NBA All-Star Game.

I wonder if the NFL ask why they dropped the ball on putting together a host committee for 2031.

Or is this just the NFL's way to get the state to give Benson more money.

Saints are on the ups, but the Pels future looks bleak. Hopefully Silver tells Gayle to get off her arse or the Pels are getting moved

Way out of Jeff's league. This should be another proud moment of Louisiana bumpkinism.

Benson is the biggest joke to other NFL owners.

Landry is the biggest joke to every other governor in the country.

Is it required for every southern state to elect a dipshit governor?

BS. The Bensons are and have been well respected in the NFL hierarchy.

Roger Goodell call the refs once that place happened and said “You better not throw the flag”. It was instant!
