Couple of questions before we light the dynamite....Can Tom Benson handle a blow-up, right now? Is he up for the challenge, at his age? Who makes the hiring/firing decisions in this blow up/tear down? Gail? Rita? Tom? Loomis? Somebody else? A judge in Texas?

Will blowing up the team INCREASE any revenue, profits, or team income, over what it is currently at, now?

News flash! The Dome is still sold out, folks, profits were up 36% last year ...it's more than likely that the main conversations between Loomis and the family these days have more to do with THAT, the numbers, and the bottom line, rather than the hiring or firing of under-performing assistant coaches and the specific players on the field....

If someone wants to fire Loomis, all Loomis has to do to save his own skin is point to the bottom line. Dome is sold out, revenues are up up UP....the Saints are still very successful, to the Benson family right now. And Payton and Loomis, Drew, Vitt, McMahon, Johnson, whoever...they're all joined at the hip, thick as thieves, folks -- the whole dang band....

And by the way, has anybody even seen Benson at one of the games, lately? Sunday night football, on national TV, against the Cowboys, the camera panned to Jerry, Jerry, Jerry....any shots of Tom and the fam? Has he issued a statement or interview, saying that he's unhappy with anything the team is doing lately?

And like him or not, Loomis, with his sleeves rolled up and his hands stuck in the guts of both the Hornets and Saints up to the elbows, is pretty much untouchable... is Benson at age 88 going to suddenly trust his money and his empire to some new complete stranger, coming in? How likely IS that? Not very.

Unfortunately, in spite of the team's struggles, I have seen NOTHING in recent months that makes me think that this organization has budged anywhere from their same position, of the last 2-3 years -- living in the past, building statues of themselves, and milking Katrina and the Super Bowl year for all its worth.

Anyone want to bet that they will show Katrina footage and the Gleason block on the Jumbotron in the Dome, before the game this week against the Falcons, for like the umpteenth time?
