Start Complaining Again !

A while back someone posted the link to e-mail the governor when this mess started. Well with her latest statements I think it's time to do it again. Right now she is just putting her finger in the air to try and figure out which way the wind blows. Well I started sending 2 e-mails a day everyday to express my opinion; I wish you guys would join me in doing the same.

If she want to be a women about this, then I'm going to nag like one ! :P

Thanks for the link Chuck. I dropped them a line, and figure she\'ll be on the phone with Benson anytime now with a different tune.

You should read that other thread. While I agree that she\'s not taking the best posture, she is being blackmailed by Benson. He keeps talking about how the Saints aren\'t competitive and how if the State doesn\'t do something he\'ll leave. Sure... the Saints have the 8th MOST operating income in the league. More than teams in major markets like New York, Philly, Chicago, St Louis, and San Fran. Sure Tom, take your team to LA. You\'ll be movin again instide of a decade.

Im hearing the selling price for the Saints is close to the B-word.

You might be hearing that, hell Benson might even be asking that, but the Saints aren\'t even CLOSE to worth that.

As of 2003, NO team was worth a Billion. The Saints are worth just over half that.

I mean it is sad when you have to go online to get Saints gear cause you live in Ohio.

Are you kidding??? I live one state over, and we have as much Saints gear as you do.

WhoDat · 11-19-2004, 04:13 PM

Benson is not just a regular old business man. He has to shoulder some of the blame... or are you suggesting that if I move to NO and say I want to start a business I should demand that the State build my offices and pay me to do business there? C\'mon...

I hate to say it but thats what happens when you have a woman as govenor. Most women don\'t give a hell about sports. All she is concerned with is how it is going to efffect the state in the long run. It is kind of stupid in my mind to have the state have any say in the New Orleans Saints business anyhow.

And THIS is bordering on narrow-minded and uninformed. All she is concerned with is how paying millions of dollars to renovate the Superdome and pay a sports franchise is going to have a long-term effect on the State... What the hell else is the governor of the state supposed to do? Make decisions with utter disregard for how the State will be effected?

Why is she involved in the Saints business anyhow? Because BENSON MADE HER GET INVOVLED. You think this is the State\'s fault? Benson DEMANDED money from the state. He demanded a new stadium, and all these other incentives. If Blanco decides to get \"uninvolved\" in the Saints, kiss \'em goodbye.

Learn the issue before spouting off about how women are just too stupid to be governors. :casstet:

How do you guys in Ohio and Texas become Saint\'s fans. I mean the Saints don\'t have that tradition of winning that some teams like 49ers and Cowboys have that comes with nation wide fans.

I guess thats what happens when you lease a state funded building. Gee why could we not put the Saints in the stock market like Greenbay. I don\'t know this might not work either since it is suck a bad market as far as avertisement goes nationwide. I mean it is sad when you have to go online to get Saints gear cause you live in Ohio.

I don\'t think it\'s a negociation tactic anymore, I think it\'s demands. Im hearing the selling price for the Saints is close to the B-word. Benson is frustrated because he is getting the attention and respect from a Major City, Yet Louisiana doesn\'t show the appreciation of having a NFL franchise when they are extremely lucky to have one to begin with.
