This crappe is as bad as these hacks posing as journalists such as Vargas who dish all this dirt on Rita with these unnamed sources...

Vargas and his like should go back to perpetual high school and right gossip columns...

I don't have to do your research for you. It's a message board full of opinion. If you follow the Saints everyday as I do I am surprised you don't recall this.

Can’t be worse than dealing with Jerry Jones.

Oh I bet it is waay worse than dealing with Jerry Jones. Jerry Jones may have his faults and meddling in the football operation is #1 but he earned the right to meddle. Rita on the other hand appears by many reports as a pampered and spoiled brat who treats people bad. Also, as an up and coming Asst HC with an opportunity to work with your mentor in Parcells you are willing to put up with probably just about anything. Fast forward to a now very proven SB winning coach you have more options and working with a wet behind the ears, spoiled and pampered owner that was gifted the keys to the estate may just not be one of them.

Thanks for posting this. It saved me the time.

If the trust is so irrevocable why not attack that? Why his is family attacking his mental fitness instead? I have the feeling that trust isn't as irrevocable as everyone has been led to believe.

Cool link. Let's see what it says:

... why that language was in the contract in the first place. A league source tells PFT ...

Aren't we done with anonymous league sources?
Until I hear it from Sean Payton...

Last point first, you're not doing research for me, your backing up your first statement...

Secondly, from the source you cited -

Lost in the fact that the contract extension signed by Saints coach Sean Payton was rejected by the league office due to a term that would have invalidated the deal upon the departure of G.M. Mickey Loomis is the question of why that language was in the contract in the first place.

A league source tells PFT that Payton wanted to be sure that Loomis would be present to serve as a buffer between the coach and Rita Benson LeBlanc.

Officially listed as owner/executive vice president of the team, LeBlanc is expected to have more, not less, power during the term of Payton’s next contract. So Payton prefers not to have to deal with LeBlanc. To ensure that Payton won’t have to, Loomis needs to be there.

This does not say Payton leaves if Rita is in charge, it says that he wants it in his contract that he doesn't have to report to the owner who will be Rita but to Loomis...

Sure many coaches want the freedom to run the team without daily interference or meddling from an owner, this is not exclusive to Payton...

point 1
* may have been - i repeat once again - may have been

point 2
according to league sources - i repeat once again - according to league sources

woulda coulda shoulda type of reporting in my book,

editors view point
lets us spice up the piece with ambiguous tid bits here and there that we do not need to prove at anytime.

sensationalism baby sensationalism

rich like this means disinformation everywhere about everything from both camps. it is just like politics. lie baby lie just listen to the lawyers and do not screw it up.

we will never know the truth.

for we are just fans

in their eyes.

we can be replaced by other fans in another city in a heart beat
