When your present wife supports you and your adopted crew ridicule your wife and show no ability to handle what you have built?

How do you know they all ridiculed his wife?
There have been thousands of women who marry millionaires for the money and power. Perhaps she was one of them? It's no more far fetched than all the ignorant speculation about the rest of his family, who have been with him a lot longer than ten years.

Now this is where I'm questioning what's going on...

You've got an 87 year old man that has at times showed a history of impulsiveness...

Again it was Rita and not Tom that stepped up with Paul Tagliabue and allayed fears of the team relocating to San Antonio...

And if Rita is so incompetent, why was she named Arena Football's Executive of The Year?

Read this story...Rita's Hail Mary Pass

We're not getting the full picture and with much of the local media not willing to take on Tim Benson, I don't think Rita will get a fari shake...

Amazed the amount of heresay on this thread...

When I see posts like "people say" and "my understanding" without corroboration that's heresay - heresay is dangerous...

Tom Benson has a big ego and his family has been there to right his course; now comes along a woman with no history of success in business, she has, point of fact, experience in bankrupting business, and everyone wants to join Team Tom/Gayle?!?

Has everyone forgotten it was Tom Benson that wanted to move the team to San Antonio and wouldn't commit to New Orleans Post-Katrina until Paul Tagliabue with Rita out in front guaranteed Tom Benson NFL funds so he wouldn't lose a penny...

Some of you really need to do your history lessons...
