Drink all night on the riverwalk -- walk back to the hotel -- walk to the games etc.

2nd -- I am afraid the Saints are history. There will not be enough of a population to support a football team for years. Sad but true -- It kills me to think that way -- but I cannot think of any other possibility right now.

3rd -- Benson is an insensitive jerk. At least wait until the season is over to publicly state your true intentions. I am with Nagin -- we want the Saints back not the owner. I would sue him if he used the Saints name or the uniforms on another team. Make him pay for a whole new design and name.

1. I hate Texas. Doesn't disprove your point, but its just my opinion.

2. Just because New Orleans natives are scattered around the state doesn't mean they won't attend games. I was born and raised 3 hours away from New Orleans and that didn't stop anyone from taking me to Saints games. They'll just need more state-wide support.

3. I agree.
