Who is Rita Benson LeBlanc?
 

Tom Benson's granddaughter, Rita Benson LeBlanc, who is also the heir-apparent to the Saints franchise, attended Sundays game despite the fact that Benson refused to. What is known about her? I hear very little, if anything. Is she for keeping the Saints in Louisiana? Is she more cool-headed than Benson?

No one knows really. I've heard things like she may want them in San Antonio also, but there is no substance to this. Really have no clue.

Right now Benson is getting his butt handed to him in the media. Did anyone see "Outside the Lines" last night on ESPN?

He got completely ripped a new one. Serves him right.

She went to Texas A&M. About all I got. Oh, and if she wants to marry me, the answer is yes.

I get the sense that she is, at the very least, more supportive of the Saints staying in Louisiana. The only reason I believe that is because she showed up at the game in Baton Rouge, despite Bensons meanderings about "fearing for the safety of his family". I have to give her props for that.

Yep. It was difficult for the guests to keep their cool. Great piece. Can't find a transcript anywhere.
