If y’all really want to know everything, there’s a pages long story in The Athletic from 2019 about their courtship (rather, Tom’s pursuit of her). Gayle is very candid here. It’s quite a memorable piece. While reading this, I found myself fascinated and thoroughly amused. Here’s how it all happened.


Sounds like a very calculated narrative that was pitched as a PR pitch because whispers were getting out there about their timeline.

Does the Saints PR Team have any experience at assisting with shaping my other non-sports narratives? Almost a little crisis management of sorts dealing with moral items?

And what Gayle has done since getting the keys isn’t? When you evaluate the roster, cap, coaching, scouting, you’ll see the Saints are bottom tier. That crap Sunday with cascade of boos and Lions fans taking over is the new norm for home games.

Rita is a petty mean bitch, but heads would’ve rolled by now. It can’t get much worse.

She went from bouncing checks to a multi billionaire multi pro franchise owner.


This is 100% fact

She owed money all over town before hooking up with Benson

This is not ‘speculation’

Laughable to think an owner with this pedigree will be able to compete in the cutthroat NFL. Owners typically are the among the best business people in America. We’re going nowhere.

Gayle knows nothing about football. She just owns the team.

Lausha is the one who runs the club, and Mickey handles the football operations.

The Saints have never had an active owner involved with football operations like Jerry Jones and Art Rooney.

Mecom and the Bensons were very hands-off because you could write what they knew about running a football team on the back of a postage stamp.

Why does anybody think Gayle cares about winning or losing?
She married into the franchise and inherited it. She's likely just enjoying being an owner and not worried about long term success. The team will eventually sell for billions regardless of the W-L column.

So you made up your own story to start a thread and are upset at the real story? Typical.

Rita would have blown so much money that the team would have been sold to cover her incompetence. Man how quickly some forget.

And most don't. They hire people to run the football operations. Those owners who try to meddle in the football operations usually mess it up.

Yes it could. As in a bankrupt #32 in the league and owner shopping the team out.
