I'd think all of these factors would make it a non-starter, money be damned.

Good points, but as it stands, our team’s culture is that of the bottom of the pack, a complete mess. The city will no doubt get great press during a Super Bowl that we AINT even getting a whiff of, but the team is in trouble.

I very much remember that play. Kind of sad that for some time the greatest moment in franchise history was a muffed punt by an opposing player.

For every muff there is a recovery! The Great Jim Henderson said it best: Hakim drops the ball! Hakim drops the ball! Brian Milne might have fallen on it at the 10 yard line! It's the New Orleans Saints' football! Brian Milne, the most unlikely hero of them all, falls on the fumble, the muff by Hakim! There is a god after all!

THAT! is worth remembering!

When Tom Benson died iin his will he set up the way that the Saints are still operating today. If I recall correctly Dennis Lauscha and Mickey Loomis have a lot of control. I think make sure this is a part owner but I'm not sure.






Maybe it is time for Gail Benson to take a more hands on approach with the New Orleans Saints. Her timing to fire Dennis Allen mid-season was necessary.
There is not a damn thing wrong with Gayle Benson and the way she has run this team! She is hands off and writes the checks.


The problem may be that Dennis Loomis is jusy a bean counter and we miss the football intelligence that Sean Payton brought to a team. We need to reshape the front office. Bring in someone open the damn side the talent that Ireland cannot so that we can draft well.

We obviously need new coaches across the board. Darren Rizzi will likely move on even though he is fine special teams coach. We must draft better and develop our players better. There are way too many of the Saints draft picks that are playing at a high level on another team.

“She is hands off and writes the checks.” Aha… Ok. 🤪

Her job is not to run the team. Her job is to hire the people to do that.

We had a rich owner from Texas for our first 18 years & he didn't care if we won or not... so we lost a lot! It was terrible!

His was named John Mecom Jr.

No Thank You for any owner from Texas!

Then she should implement a drug and alcohol testing program for those she has hired. Hello Quest Diagnostics, goodbye Mickey Loomis.

A rich man isn't going to spend billions to not care and lose.
