Most indications of heard/read are that Rita is spoiled and inept and will, at best, be a figurehead. Re: Tom. He is and forever will be a jerk for his actions after Katrina. Maybe some of the younger posters here don't remember but he had one foot out of the door and if it weren't for Paul Tagliabue they'd be the San Antonio Saints. I'm glad he bought the Hornets but that still doesn't change his past behavior.

Re: Chouest. He had numerous chances to buy the team and despite being 'passionate' for basketball kept balking at every opportunity. Maybe he didn't have the finances.

That's the word. I suppose she'll get to voice her opinion and have some say, but she won't be running the whole show.

He fricking panicked and didn't see the long term. Car salesman mentality.

He had a clear shot at the team and wouldn't go an extra $25-50 MM. Stern was smart. He wanted Benson all along because of the resources and the obvious tie-ins with the Saints and downtown development.
