Take Brees away from that and he is poop.
Man, you have to give Benson as much credit for Brees as Loomis. He's the guy that agreed to write the checks for a guy no one knew would ever be 100%.
Benson's actions after Katrina were despicable...but he came back and wrote the check to buy the Hornets (Pelicans) and kept them here.

Were they really despicable? That's a true business mindset, he had no clue how the city was gonna turn out and the saints are part of a multi-billion dollar industry. That is a lot of invested money into something that no one was even sure would pan out so he made a plan B.

How many businesses/people left after Katrina? A ton. Do you quiver with rage when you drive past a Ruth's Chris? They bolted, and so did many others.
So he wavered. He has that in common with probably 95% of the people who had significant business investments in the city of New Orleans.
