Rita sues!!!!
 
1 Attachment(s)
As per Nola.com - Rita Benson LeBlanc filed a lawsuit claiming that the teams' owner and family patriarch Tom Benson is incompetent and is being directed by a manipulative wife and her allies at the highest level of the sports empire.

The suit was filed one day after Tom Benson unexpectedly announced plans to transfer future ownership of the clubs to wife, Gayle, cutting off his daughter, Renee LeBlanc, and his two grandchildren, Ryan LeBlanc and Rita Benson LeBlanc, who until recently had been designated as the heir apparent.

The legal battle lays bare the internal strife within one of Louisiana's richest families and its highest profile business owners, pitting Benson and his wife of 10 years against his adopted daughter and family

I think she was the one who stopped her grandfather from moving the team to San Antonio. Hard to tell what's going on here because they run the organization like the secret police. Something is going on for sure.

All I know is that as I posted before, I'm pretty much done with the NFL. I have only watched Saints games the past two years. If the Saints are moved from the city of New Orleans, I will totally be done with the nfl. Then watch the city go as well. Whats going to bring in that kind of revenue to city.

Did Rita think Brees was too old to be qb? Did she buy into all the other crap people under 25 were saying about him?

Why have a big fanfare and announcement to tell the world that you have essentially cut your children and grandchildren from the will and have decided to give it all to your new young wife.... and you children and Rita need to go get a job??

I think the dude has lost his marbles. If you're gonna cut family out at least have the decency to do it on the downlow or behind their backs!

That would be an excellent screen name, by the way. If it's not already in use.

Can't say as I am surprised by the lawsuit, they just lost control of a billion plus in sports franchises. I guess calling his mental capacity into play is their only option, but, it's not like Tom has been out of the public eye. Wouldn't the press notice if he was getting a bit off?

Brees can be played by Richard Thomas. Has to die his hair though.

Yeah, I'm with you on this...

All their dirty laundry aired out in the open like this...something's amiss...

Oh, and for the record, You all owe your gratitude to Tagliabue for making sure the Saints didn't leave post-Katrina...

Do you research on the subject...Never have nor will forgive Tom for trying to move the team to San Antonio...Total Jerk...

NFL had put heat on Tommy Boy some years ago when they wanted to see succession plans for each NFL franchise and that's why there was the fanfare for Rita...

Goodman is set in stone as Benson. The rest of the cast and key people are up for grabs. Should be a website competition.

Giving Rita an upgrade to Olivia...for her football knowledge, being close to the business with Rogers of course.

Re: Rita sues!!!!
 
i am all pins and needles here

i was shocked to hear she was out in the first place. never read anything posted to cause such hate as she is getting. bring me up to speed if i missed something.

the wife? thought she was his trophy and nothing more than something that hung on his arm.

Rita has all the training and the wife has what? besides the obvious.

this could be fun to watch and maybe just maybe the fate of the saints rest in this court case.

some thing smells fishy here between these two woman.
