Who do you think is really running the show?

Rugby Saint II · 09-06-2011, 04:27 PM

Every since Sean Payton came to town Rita Benson has been apparently heavily involved in the day to day operations of the Saints. I believe that the turn around in the ownership decisions have made a U turn because Rita is really running the show. She has worked her way up from the bottom and really understands the business side of things.
Benson was always cheap and would sell off our good players. We never spent big money on any player(except Ricky Williams) Remember Bensons a car salesman and has the mentality of a used car salesman.jmho

Loomis: They seem to want Shanle out of the squad, so I went ahead and arranged a meeting between him and the Rams FO.

Payton: Scratch that!!

Loomis: Why?

Payton: What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

But seriously, I think that RB has taken a lot of the responsibilities to her own hands, and seems to have done a great job at it. It would be hard to explain the certain changes in attitude and actions by the owner if not for her taking more of a responsibility for them.

I thought she presented herself really well during the last preseason game on CST, and she really seemed committed to the NO area, so I don't think she has any intentions to move the team. Especially the player development program for HS and small College players in the area sounded like a really good idea, and probably a life-changer for many underprivileged kids in the future.

You're right about her interview. She represents well. You go girl!

I can't resist: Bill Harris aka "The Unknown Who Dat" now attends the board meetings and sits to the left of Mr. Benson.
