This is Tom Benson you're talking about. One of, if not THE, cheapest S.O.B. to run an NFL team. The only reason for the turn around of the team the season after Katrina was because he finally realized he could make more money with a winning team.
There are plenty of reasons to dislike Benson. Being "cheap" when it comes to the team itself, however, isn't really one of them.

I don't even think there are a lot of reasons to dislike Benson. Winning would have erased a lot of the animosity, but he isn't a bad owner. He doesn't get involved in football operations, he kept the team here when it could have left, he has a good relationship with the other owners and he is a good citizen.
A lot of the dislike is probably envy and not grasping he is managing a large business besides providing entertainment.

I pretty much agree. He's kind of an irascible guy, sort of like yourself. But that's okay. He was a bit of a pain in the arse shortly after Katrina, but it worked out.
