Mr. Benson Quoted

I was listening to the post game wrap up show on the radio Sunday afternoon.The media caught something unusual while waiting outside the locker room for Jim Haslett's post game press conference.Mr. Tom Benson along with his new wife were stepping off of the elavator after viewing the onslaught by the Broncos.Mr. Benson wasted no time in talking to the media.This is very unusual in the fact that Benson is usually behind the scenes when it comes to talking to the media about his opinions on the teams performances.However,this time he sounded off like a cannon.You could tell by the tone in his voice he was very irate.he even waited while reporters got their recorders set and repeated every word with the same intensity.Mr. Benson said "This was the worst performance I've seen from this club in the 20 years since I've owned them.They looked like a bunch of high school kids out there,and that's where they all ought to be playing." Buddy Diliberto even went so far as to say Benson was giving high school football a bad name.

Hey look guys I attended the game Sunday,and the performance of the team as well as the attendance by fans was pitiful.There were 15,000 to 20,000 no shows, and a big chunk of that was the fans with the most expensive season tickets (The Club Level Seating).Does that mean that fans can't even give away premium tickets?What a joke! The Louisiana Governor, Kathleen Blanco attended the game and she left at half time.I guess she had seen enough.This just days after Mr. Benson gave the state a proposal and ultimatum to either build a new stadium or enhance the current deal between the state and the organization including renovating the dome and building a new 25 acre tailgating park near the stadium.Talk about bad timing! Who knows how this thing will play out. :casstet:
