Re: Payton to take a year off?
It was mentioned on Good Morning Football just now.
If he leaves, he leaves. No hard feelings by this fan other than grateful, thankful. Real life, real people. He has been here 16 years or so. His qb retired. Time. He maybe feels less challenged and he has reached his professional goals here. And as a hc. New wife. Maybe she wants to live somewhere else. His 3 kids , who lived in the Dallas area , must be starting college now maybe with one about to finish high school. GMF on NFL Net said he has a network offer out there. While we are at , sorry for sounding pessimistic to some of you, but lets be real….Mrs. B is not going to live forever. Rita acted crazy . I think Benson put it in his papers after Mrs.B, Rita will be out of punishment and owner of N.O.Saints Then again, maybe it has the Saints and other things being sold with proceeds living forever in the Benson foundation and running by the foundation. |

As for Gayle I'm wondering if she puts the team up for sale if Sean leaves. ...corrected |

Re: Payton to take a year off?
Rita has no legal claim to the team. Both the Saints and the Pelicans are owned 100% by Gayle Benson. Gayle has no heirs and has a legal document in place to sell the teams to a local owner upon her death. Rita gets nothing. As for Gayle's health, she's only 74 and in excellent health from recent reports. She can easily stay owner for another 15 years.

Actually Tom left full ownership to his wife Gayle. Rita, and her family, have no legal claim to either the Saints or Pelicans ever. Sean has two kids, Connor (22) and Meghan (26). I believe Meghan currently is working as a sports reporter in Los Angeles and living with her actor boyfriend. Connor recently tweeted that he's now an On-Air host for @ChatSports covering Seahawks and Steelers content. Time passes fast. It does seem like they were both in school just yesterday. ![]() |
