Yes its sad, but Saints owner was looking to pull out of NO long before Katrina. The city may have just sarted showing up to games, but it wasn't that long ago people wore bags over their heads with the word "AINTS" on them. AS for the NFL awarding a new franchise, its highly unlikely since the owners don't want more than 32 teams and it would take away fron their bottom dollar with one more team to share revenue with. The bottom line is: Benson owns the team not NO and he can do what he likes. The NFL isn't gonna do anything to stop him.
