Just what we need this off-season, more drama. Will it ever stop?

 

[AARPSaint]

This is a very, very serious problem. I am actually feeling sick to my stomach.

There's no Donald Sterling problem unless this guy has a recording or some actual proof.

yikes, here come the three R's. great

 

[insidejob]

Just ******* great.

While I find her alleged behavior reprehensible, comparing her to Sterling is a bit of a reach. That being said, it does appears that the 3 R's may be on to something.

i guess the only positive would be if he had to sell the team to somebody completely new... who would continue to do the best for the Saints in NEW ORLEANS.

nobody wants the three Rs in charge, but if a sale is imminent, sell it to a third party dedicated to keeping the team and growing the team in New Orleans


definitely not good to go through this every offseason

Between Benson's kids/grandkids saying he's manipulating an old man, her established history of being sued for not paying her bills and now this, it seems like it might be tough to get her through the ownership committee if/when the time comes.

Although this sounds like the r's are running a smear campaign.

 

[thefredman63]

ah yes,unsubstanciated hersay...mybhe three r's are behind this?

 

[Wheelo]

When all else fails claim racism.

When all else fails claim racism.

The man worked for Benson for over 25 years! If you think this is a fabricated story, so be it. Not once did he make a claim against Benson, in fact, his claims paints Benson in a positive light. When it comes to Gayle, I ain't sayin' she's a gold digger...

 

[thefredman63]

wow....so many here are willing to believe this butthurt black guy, and throw gayleand tom under the bus...just a note to yall, believing the black guy doesnt automatically make you a better person..actually it makes you a racist

No air conditioner or fluffy towels at the Greenbrier. Still better than Metairie in August.
