For the longest time, I did not think the Saints could win a Super Bowl with Benson as their owner. Something changed after that hurricane that really got him invested in winning. Probably one of the greatest influences on sports in South Louisiana from the high school level up.

Tagliabue strong arming him from saying anything else about moving and then the state for about as big a sweetheart financial deal as one could imagine?

I don't think there's any room up there. Tom Brady permanently owns his brain.
