This is correct but reverse the order to get who is more trusted by Gayle.

Lauscha has the launch codes to all things Gayle.

Loomis serves at Lauscha’s pleasure.

I appreciate Gayle for keeping the saints in nola, but for God's sake fire Loomis or sell the team.

Fertita is already on record of saying he wants to buy them and would agree and wants to keep in Nola, but nice try with the same shite being said on repeat for about 40 years. Chicken Littles….


I’m not arguing against you here, but what else is he going to say?

“I want to buy the saints and can’t wait to move them to a more up and coming city?”

Did you read the NYT piece on Woody Johnson? What about David Tepper? Jimmy Haslam, Dean Spanos? And that’s just the NFL. John Fisher for the A’s is one of the all time worst. That statement is straight up hyperbole


The only reason you support Gayle is because she is from NOLA and emotionally tied to the city so you feel safe she won’t move the team.

Sorry, just being in the club isn’t enough for my fandom.

The record and state of multiple franchises bear this out. You really want to compare Gayle’s business acumen to Self Made billionaires like David Tepper? Research Gayle’s interior decorating business and you’ll come to the conclusion she’s lost in business.

Nice decent person yes. But to expect anything other than bottom feeding status for the Pels and Saints moving forward is lunacy.

I just have a different view on owners than all y’all.

Are there any owners that employ three non family members that are also executors of their estate? She doesn’t have the fortitude to make that decision to fire who needs to be fired and Lauscha and Loomis won’t can themselves.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Loomis moves into a rich McKay style role.

He still would handpick his successor which would just continue the circle jerk.

This is a business first and foremost. Despite popular belief, most owners are not Jerry Jones type cheerleaders of their own team and usually do not base decisions on raw emotion. Their goal is to make money, not to please the fanbase.

Owners don’t care what fans think of the team. They make the same money regardless of win or losses. Don’t think so? Look at the Browns owner Art Modell owning the team for 35 yrs with only one championship then the team stagnated to nothingness for 30 yrs. Didn’t matter. Still made money

She has no clue. Advent just ended. She's getting ready for Epiphany, then deciding on Mardi Gras decorations

I agree with that statement but I believe Lauscha knows Loomis doesn't know shite about the game . He's an accountant. I'm expecting Dennis fires Loomis. Wishful thinking anyway

Yea because he’s not trying to tell her what she wants to hear or anything so she will sell the team to him.

I wouldn’t believe a thing that comes out of a rich man’s mouth. They didn’t get the money they have by being honest I can promise you that.

You ever buy a beer in the Dome. A beer costs 6$ in Atlanta. Benson was always greedy, and never minded ripping off the fans. The beer sold in the dome alone, even without the rip off food is enough to make us 6th

This is why I said earlier in the week that anyone who sees her in public needs to confront her peacefully but firmly.

Get in her face and make her feel uncomfortable. She definitely has a protective cocoon around her similar to what Biden had.

You think she’ll care what a peasant has to say about her billion dollar team?

Maybe when she is at the Saints building, but she was hijacked a few years ago. What a city that can’t protect a NFL owner.

Agree she needs to know she’s in over head and become a bit uncomfortable in her public appearances.

She needs to realize selling the teams are in the best interest for everyone.

After that presser today I’ve come around to this line of thinking.

If you see her out, boo her get in her grill, maybe give her arse cheek a firm squeeze to let her know this is unacceptable.

Only then will she see the folly in her ways.
