The thread title is a joke.

They are actually in a dispute and it’s not actually money related.

I just thought it was funny.

I can see most people on this board don't understand leverage and negotiation tactics.

The argument is that the state has not complied with required paperwork and it’s been an ongoing problem. Beats me…, but I could believe that either side is at fault if history is a guide.

They’ve been asking for documents for 6 months and have yet to receive them, and while waiting they were still making their payments, so after 6 months they are now using the only leverage they have. Every single one of you would do the same exact thing if you had to.

Any team owner, Gayle or otherwise, would be pissed about not knowing what exactly their money is getting spent on.

And that State has replied: What paperwork specifically? We have asked and they have never told us.

its a shame me calling Jeff Duncan a pawn is removed but we can have a thread calling Gayle a deadbeat. horrible admin decisions. And this thread isn't meant to attack you bunchie. just calling a gayle a deadbeat based on a one sided agenda article from writer who are notorious for his shite starting is a bit much. Gayle is all class.

I don't think Gayle is a deadbeat, I thought it was just funny.

What is obviously going on here is politics.

The last payment was in December.

Jeff Landry replaced almost the entire LSED Board in January.

They are in negotiation over the future lease.

Fairly obvious what is going on.

As for Todd Graves he is a Dallas Cowboys fan


You think it’s a wise business decision to open up a Saints themed raising canes in Dallas?

they’re going to be expanding the league soon anyway. I’m not as worried about a new owner moving the team as some of you are

Correct, midway into the new TV Deal, they will announce expansion to Vegas and Seattle.

Pure money in the owners pockets directly, and then gives them new negotiation for the next TV deal.

Exactly, too many read a headline and jump to a conclusion. OP posts headline that is misleading. It is the LSED that is not living up to the contract. This is what a business person does with the leverage they have when the other party is not living up to their contractual obligations. I saw someone elsewhere mention that this may be Landry trying to put his nose into the deal by having LSED withhold documentation as leverage. Not sure how much he is involved.

I think you're being conservative, they are going to jump on that money within a couple years

Meanwhile have you seen the new arena the Clippers owner built with his own money? Don’t tell me Gayle or the state does not the money. Gayle and the state will make enough money just off those Taylor Swift concerts to build new arena. This gets settled after the Taylor Swift shows.

Whacking your drunken tirade instead of keeping the discussion in one thread was pretty easy chad. I wish I took a screenshot of it as proof of how incoherent you were last night.

Steve Ballmer is the 10th richest man on earth. His net worth is approximately 121 billion dollars.

You really cannot compare the two
