The statue of Gleason is another classy move by Tom Benson.
Now, seems to me that pre-Katrina Mr Benson wasn't especially hated, maybe I'm wrong there since I don't live in N.O. He did bring us our first winning teams back in the 80's.
Post-Katrina seemed to be where all the hate came in for him. With his talk of moving the team to San Antonio, Tx. I have no hatred for Mr. Benson, never have. I honestly believe the only reason he did that was to set himself and the Saints up for a good deal in N.O. and get the SD redone. I just hope his sucessor, whether its Rita or whoever commissions 2 more statues. One of Mr. Benson himself to be unveiled opening day, the year after he passes. (Which I hope is a long time from now) and one of Drew to be unveiled at a party outside the SD the day he is inducted into the HOF.
