Tom Benson
I expected the teams rally cry would be centered around Benson but have oddly heard little about him. I don’t even recall the announcers mention anything during any of the games this year. I do however remember them jerking off all over Myra Kraft the entire season. Dude needs some respect. Make Benson proud guys.

Re: Tom Benson
Still haven't forgotten Tom Benson tried to move the team to San Antonio during the fog of Post-Katrina...
Then, he couldn't show his face in public (e.g. fan rundown at Saints game at LSU stadium)... So he used the face of his beautiful granddaughter to soften the hearts of embittered fans, and used her as his proxy... He later tossed her aside once he no longer needed her despite promising to turn the reigns of the team over to her... Coincidentally, his body man who protected him in that ugly moment at LSU stadium was later run off by Gayle and later referred to as a "porter"... So, no, I won't ever celebrate a vain, selfish ***** who allowed himself to be manipulated by a gold-digger and dismissed his family... There should be a statue commemorating the podium speech of Paul Tagliabue, Rita Leblanc-Benson, with Arnold Fielkow - they were the ones that saved the NFL for us from Benson's shenanigans... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

But my general sense has been that most people sided with Tom and Gayle, and considered Rita some kind of greedy, jealous daughter. And I have no idea where that information comes from. The whole thing just smelled, to me. Maybe more people see it this way than I realize, but it sure seems Tom and Gayle get their butts kissed a lot. |
If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
