No way the NFL owners will agree to that. Too much money to be made by the sunbelt cities for the SB (or the rare SB in a snowbelt dome like this year). The promise of a SB is a big lever they use to get new stadiums.

Yep. and the beat goes on.

I know. Its sickening how Benson has so alienated people that it affected the attendance today. It so works into his scheme

A vote of three-quarters of NFL owners is required to move a franchise, and Tagliabue dismissed reports of the Saints moving to Los Angeles as "nonsensical."

It will be tough for Benson to gain approval of 3/4 of the NFL Team Owners to move, especially to San Antonio, where Jerry Jones has a vested interest of keeping another NFC team out of Texas.

Last week I was in New Orleans and loved the sidewalk refrigerator graffiti.

"Tom Benson is a Liar"

"Tom Benson Sucks"

"Tom Benson's Dog Inside"

Ma, the team hasn't done much to curb the alienation. Has anyone asked the players what they what they want to do?
Eh what?????
