Does anyone know the real story of why Rita was pushed out of the front office of the Saints.

Idk. But if ya like conspiracy theories, I think the old man found out they were going to move it or sell it after he died. He said it was for what was "best" for the franchises.

Maybe he found out they were more interested in money than anything else.

I'm not from a wealthy family so all I can do is guess.

I was at a law firm last night, for a cocktail party. True story, Rita walked right by me, and she was seething mad (I hadn't heard about the story yet). Well, she and one of the attorneys went into an office, and I never saw them again. I even mentioned to the people I was with that Rita seemed really upset about something. Whatever it was, it went down pretty suddenly. I mean, I have heard that she wasn't in Benson's good graces for the last few years, but this seems pretty dramatic. I bet it has as much to do with Gayle, as it does Rita.

Regardless, not a good look for our organization. Hope everything settles out ok.

Big winners in Saints power struggle are Loomis and Payton. Had Rita Benson taken over their days were numbered. Bad blood there...
