I get why she won't sell, but why the frick would she not hand pick the next owner and, at a minimum, sell them a minority share? Imagine the good will that it would show if she sold Todd Graves a 20% stake in the Saints tomorrow?

Because you don’t handpick your successors and the owners are all about maximizing profits. They’ll look to drive sale price up as high as possible.

Saints need to keep increasing in value so that when she dies & the franchise goes to the Catholic Church, they can sell it to cover all the lawsuits.

And I'm sure she loves it, I don't blame her. She's seems like a nice lady, that's why Tom married her but owning an NFL franchise isn't the job that everyone is cut out for. TD here has a lot of capable businesspeople but neither of us could do it either.

Now he’s also about to own an MLB team in part because night after night the fans of said team took over a portion of the stadium with their shirts off chanting sell the team. It’s been quoted that the owner definitely felt the effects of this effort. Time for Saints fans to do this, while also wearing our traditional bags over head. Team won’t get better without a complete house cleaning.

Do you think the next owner will keep the team in New Orleans? Likely not because they will move this team to a city that will build a new stadium. Be careful what you wish for
