Goodbye and the aftermath

http://www.dailynews.com/Stories/0,1...693494,00.html

One of the likeliest candidates for relocation is the New Orleans Saints, who have an out in their lease after the 2005 season.

The Saints are in discussions with the state of Louisiana over renovations at the Superdome. The current lease calls for the state to pay the Saints $187 million over a 10-year period, but the state is struggling to make those payments.

"We're in serious negotiations, but we've got a lot of problems," Saints owner Tom Benson said. "We're in a small market and the city and the state know that we can't survive without their help.

"When (the current lease) was signed, people felt like if we couldn't work out a permanent solution, it would be best to leave. We're at the point where there's either going to be a permanent solution or there's not. We're either going to get it done or we're not."


What if it is announced before the season that the saints will move( which in my opinion looks like that will happen) to L.A.? Do you abandon them or go to the games? If they move I think I would give up football after they move for that year, kinda flush my system out. and try to like my new hometeam the Texans after that. What else can I do?
