Would be shocked if that happened. And would Gayle keep the Pelicans?

These were the only mentions of the Saints in the entire article. Sounds like his group asked about the Saints and he was kindly told to pound sand. The other 99.99% of the article just covered the auto dealerships.

There is no mention of any offer having been made at all for the Saints. Just permission to broach the subject which was denied.

She has already made it clear that she will not sell the Saints until her passing and then it is to be sold to a local concern with all proceeds going to NOLA area charities since she has no heirs. That's likely why her "people" refused to even discuss the subject.

Ms. Gayle appears to be in fine health so I suspect she be owning our team for many, many years to come.

Yeah, I just don't get hoping Gayle dies sooner than later just so some thing or other might change. I'm sorry, but those priorities are warped. Don't you agree, Rugs?

Who in the hell wants Gayle to die? I don't recall anyone in this forum ever saying that.

You must not be on Twitter. Although, I have no idea what that sinner guy is saying these days or the cow guy, for that matter.

if I had a nickel for every time you mention the name(s) of someone you have set to IGNORE, I’d have enough money to buy the Saints and put together a Championship team.

Maybe Guido has made himself a Fantasy Fan Salary Cap Manager game where he is a Mickey Loomis Junior and he signs all of the other forum members to his Fantasy Fan Team and Restructures all our contracts to expertly manipulate his fantasy cap and maximize value. He wants to ignore many of us. But he can't absorb the hit to his Fantasy Fan Salary Cap. So he talks **** and then makes new 5 year commitments to keep following us.
