Basically if Tom cannt come up with the cash value of the Saints and Pelicans to pay off the 3 Rs, they will own the 2 clubs. The courts in Texas said he signed a basic no contest contract with them. They are saying that he cannot renig and change his mind.

Your summation is dead on...

What boggles me is why he went to such lengths to put himself in that corner...

My theory in this whole mess is that Rita has been groomed for sometime, felt she was ready to start making some calls and became frustrated with GranDaddy Warbucks and a room full of men who didn't need some young girl with a different take on things bucking status quo and Gayle made a move...

Honestly man, I dont know who to believe anymore. One of the two could have best interest in the teams or they could be all about themselves. Its hard to say. All I want is a competent and trustworthy owner laying down the foundation for our future.
