This may be a completely unsubstantiated rumor... and I am prefacing this post as a rumor...

but a good friend of mine told me yesterday that there is a huge coup within the family and that the net result would be Rita being shown the door...

Anyone else hearing these whispers?

I am hearing Dennis Lauscha is going to be the point man once Benson passes away. I believe there is something to the talk about Rita. They realize they can't trust her to run the team the way an NFL team is run.

As far as renovations, I can't wait for them to replace the loge end zones with newer seats & upgraded lounges & concessions. Yes, that is where I sit. I wonder if this will happen any time soon. If they want another Super Bowl, they will have to do this along with new video screens.

Good. She is a complete lunatic from what I have heard. Hopefully Benson can live to see another SB. If not, let's just hope this organization ends up in good hands and NOT Rita...

Not surprised to hear this kind of stuff. Always alot of rumors around.
Def. some solid rumors about
Rita being a switch hitter at times
Rita having some "issues" with needing to go away for a while sometimes. Used to involve when she hung out with Sydney Torres. Not sure if he is in the pic.
Step mommy doesn't care for her
ETC

She has never stayed the course for very long to inspire confidence about running the team in any way. Give her a few million and say bye bye.

Not too off topic, but am I missing something? I mean, I know Benson is up there in age and all, but has he not been healthy as of late or is this more of a precaution for if age caught up to Tom?

I have never met a bi-sexual or lesbian that hasn't been bat shite crazy.......

Just saying

From everything that has been written lately, this is a good move by Tom. It will be much appreciated by the fan base.

That would be awesome. She would be a disaster as owner/president/CEO or whatever for the Saints.

They did a great job keeping it under wraps, since her office was cleared out a week ago.

I had heard Rita was kinda into chicks, then Benson is Mr. Super Conservative...could that play into it?
Gayle gets a lot, family gets the shaft.
I wonder what really happened.

Just look at the Buss family and their fight for ownership of the Lakers and the impact it's had on the team now. The succession to one individual (Gayle) is good for the franchise.

Rumors like this about Rita have been going around for years. There's got to be something to them.
