Nobody takes him seriously. He talks a big game, but it’s all marketing.

There are names in Houston to keep an eye on for sure, but his (Tillman’s) isn’t one of them.

Just for kicks, I asked Google Gemini which city is most likely to get the next NFL franchise...assuming it would be San Antonio, St. Louis and OK city.

It replied Jackson, MS, Waco, Shreveport and Little Rock. Try it for yourself.

I think AI's day is not here yet. Anyway, hopefully Gayle asks for an ironclad commitment to stay here.

I don’t know what’s with the relocation fear.
If you include Mississippi and parts of Alabama and Pensacola, the Saints market is about 7 million.

I like having an owner where the most noticeable thing they do is boogie.

Hate to say it, but once you get north of Hattiesburg, Saints fans are a lot less common.

I feel like copilot did pretty good even though I had a typo:

Did the Houston owner thing once already, no thanks.

Had no idea who this guy is until I clicked on the thread - and that was just for the last name.

The Saints are still the only pro team across multiple states. From here to Atlanta.

Jackson MS lol. The same town that security personnel broke into Deion Sander’s office during his first home game and stole his wallet, phone, etc. Also got his windows busted out of his f-350.

Didn't click the link...

Wouldn't he have to sell the Rockets since both squads have to be sold together?

I've lived and worked here for almost 20 years. Not out of true desire, mind you, but out of expedience and happenstance.

You're almost right. Metro Jackson is a place where you do start to see more Cowboys paraphernalia on cars and such. But based on my experience, I'd count Mississippi as majority-Saints, with the Cowboys in second. Dak Prescott being a former MSU player has added to that in the past decade. When Eli Manning played for the Giants, there was a whole lot of love among the Ole Miss crowd for the Giants, but now that's non-existent where the Giants are concerned.

The NFL got rid of that rule.
You can now own franchises in different markets.
