I've been monitoring this whole situation with the Saints possibly moving to SA. At first I didn't tihink the Benson would do such a dispicable thing, but it looks as if that's exactly what he wants to do.

So why not just let them go???

Don't get me wrong I am a huge Saints fan, but he's hell bent on going to SA, even though its obvious the NFL doesn't want it to happen.

If the NFL is truly against this, and can't stop the move, they can still make a commitment to NO for the NFL to return. I know under normal circumstances if we were to lose the Saints we would not SNIFF the NFL ever again, but I think we can agree that this is the most unique relocation possibilty/situation in NFL history. We all know that New Orleans CAN support an NFL franchise. I think that the fans of NO did pretty well in attendance given the endless futillity that the team displayed. Switch the Saints with the Patriots....and tell me we'd still be struggling to sell out the Dome.

After natural disasters in the modern era, US cities always come back better than ever, and New Orleans will be no exception. Anyone who thinks that NO will die off is kidding themselves. The federal government won't allow it. The gambling industry will help to invigorate the economy, and soon Fortune 500 companies will be given incentive laden deals to set up shop in NO. I'm highly confident that if we bring a new team in here, in about 3 to 4 years with a new stadium, FANS WILL LINE UP TO BUY SEASON TICKETS. A new regime, new coach, new players without the old attiude....fans will be given hope again.

So IF THEY WANT TO LEAVE, what's everyone's opinion of the possibility that the NFL makes a commitment to award NO an expansion team down the road. If this is a remote possibilty, I say to our current team
