San Antonio Claiming Saints

remember we made the payment this year so they would not be able to legally move until after the 2006 season.

That's not exactly true. Performance on the part of the State includes providing the Saints with a "state-of-the-art" playing facility. They have no facility at all. Technically, the State is in breach. However, b/c of the cause of the breach, it is likely to be forgiven, but then the contract would effectively be cancelled on the grounds on impossibility - inabilty to perform. As of now, I'd say the Saints are, for all intents and purposes, free and clear of the deal. But ask Scotty - he's the attorney.
