Saints withdraw 2012 Superbowl bid

This is old news, folks:

Saints push Super Bowl bid back at least a year - SaintsReport Community Forums

The deadline for submitting bids was Tuesday last week. Indy seems to be the lock to get it. New Orleans was expected to at least make a bid but without a new agreement with the state decided to wait an extra year.

Thanks, jimrip, for adding that. At first I thought Benson was ready to stop playing nice, and now no Tagliabue to help reign him in.

Knowing that the bid was only pushed back for a year, and with Indy a lock, I guess there's no need to suspect that Benson has just been biding his time until the Katrina mess is in the distant enough past that he can leave the city.

I really don't trust him, but I'm willing--very much so--to let him prove to me that his change of heart about staying in New Orleans was real.
