Statement from New Orleans Saints Owner Tom Benson

Think many are missing Duncan's point...

First, he hasn't kept his job for being a complete hack...

He can see the storm ahead between Gayle Gold Digger and Rita and her spoiled-self and the lawyering that is coming upon Tommy's demise...

A Texas judge said as much in an earlier ruling re: unnecessary lawyering...

Duncan rightfully mentions how those legal fights can derail a franchise for years, if not decades...

Tom Benson's age is not conducive to a long, drawn out legal battle; Benson realistically doesn't have much time left and Duncan, rightfully asks him to do the responsible thing for the future health of the franchise...

If you've ever gone through a succession and watch families tear themselves apart as I have because the deceased was reluctant to make the "hard call" then you won't fully appreciate this article as I have...

People get really emotional over the team. Granted, the writing style was a bit much... Duncan could have written the article in a more matter-of-fact style, but regardless, he does bring some points that have certain validity to them.

I guess many have convinced themselves that the best outcome is for Gayle Benson to inherit the teams, and for Dennis Lauscha to run it... Gayle's business track record isn't exactly stellar, and Lauscha is a corporate man, who happens to be employed by a professional football team.

Wouldn't it be a pisser, Gayle inherits the teams, then turns around and sells them because she doesn't want to (or can't for that matter) deal with the NFL/NBA owners?

ANd that's the thing. One never ever knows what is around the corner. Any change could be the trigger of something BIG.
