I still have hope.....but it's fading fast. Especially after following Washington over the last year after they had their change of leadership.

The right person running the organization can make a massive difference.

I wonder how much is to drive a change of ownership?

I hope the NFL forces Gayle to sell.

I refuse to support the Saints as long as they continue to be involved in that pedophile ring. frick Gayle & frick Catholics.

Louisiana has more wealthy people than you might think

the wealthiest person in LA is one of Matt Stuller, William Goldring, Todd Graves and Gayle Benson

most likely Graves or Stuller

supposedly Tilman Fertitta wants to buy the Saints

If Saints are sold, you can almost guarantee they are leaving NOLA.

On your official business email, no less.

Gayle is a devout Catholic. She is a reader at the St. Louis Cathedral and is close to the Arch Bishop.


Tom Benson was a devout Catholic or at least tried to appear to be in public. IIRC Tom and Gayle met at a mass.

As a devout Catholic, we should be rounding up the priests guilty of pedophilia and hang them in front of St. Peter's basilica. Get these predators out of our Church once and for all


We would be excommunicated with the quickness. Meanwhile other Catholics like Biden, Pelosi, and Murkowski can keep defending abortion.

Gayle Benson has shared in interviews that it was Archbishop Aymond who introduced her to Tom Benson.

The owner just needs a 30% stake.

There are others who could jump in at 5%.

Those communications always seem to come out in litigation despite the pleas of Attorney-Client privledge or private messages.

Next time just drive to a restaurant and have a discussion over coffee. That way there is no physical detailed record of the interaction, pay cash.

The only record may be a phone call between the two, but as long as it is not recorded could be disguised as something else like a donation call.

I am by no means advocating what the Diocese or the Saints management have done, to help shield pedoph!les, but in today's information age, you can leave too much of a paper trail.


It's a good thing they were idiots, seeing as it's going to expose pedophiles and those looking to protect them.

Seeing as all of this happened a few months after Tom died, would the Saints have done this if Tom was still calling the shots?

Tom was no angel, and I know a lot of people around here hated him.

But I think he was smarter than this.

Total bullshite. Imagine a world where owners are made to sell ownership because of a word but a team can help pedophiles with public relations.

Maybe a big Landry donor would buy them and then get a big kick back in team/stadium funding.

Not sure what Bollinger or Grigsby are worth but they fit that bill.

Or let the Sazerac family buy it.

Is that agenda worse than running damage control for the catholic church’s pedophile campaign ?
