I'm intrigued to see how Goodell handles this one

New Orleans Saints seek to keep emails concealed.

Edit: Doesn't Benson own the Pelicans too?

You wonder how people who ostensibly have enough brains to make a ton of money can be so stupid.

Even if it was just advice to the archdiocese, the ease with which "public relations damage control" can be made synonymous with "cover up" should have been obvious. So of course the Associated Press - not to mention plaintiff attorneys - are going to want to drag it all out into the sunlight for inspection.

Prime stupidity: "the Saints' emails used the team's nfl.com domain." Don't such people pay attention to current events?

Goodell is a pansy. Silver has shown a willingness to bring the hammer down on an owner. Funny if this ends up the domino that moves the Pelicans to Seattle. Hornets play in OKC. OKC becomes a prime NBA target. Seattle moves to OKC. Hornets get taken from Benson and sold to Seattle buyers resurrecting the Sonics.

She didn't make it. She inherited it from her sugar daddy.

Yes. David Stern rigged the lottery to give them Anthony Davis as part of buying the team from the league, keeping the bobcats/hornets in obscurity forever.

Hadn't heard that theory before.

I find it weird and interesting how easy it is for franchises in the NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL to move cities what seems like every 5 minutes. Far as I remember in the mains sports in England only MK Dons FC (Wimbledon FC) and Wasps RUFC have moved in my lifetime, however in the time I've been watching the NFL the Raiders have been in Oakland twice LA once and are officially in Las Vegas now.

That's something us silly Europeans can't wrap our heads around. Even the Wimbledon thing, I still find nuts.

Feeling sympathy I tried to get them back to the top flight in FM a while back. I never made it anywhere but out the door.

I imagine European countries don't have as many population centers that can support a major league franchise. There's a lot of US metro areas willing to build billion dollar tax free welfare homes to lure these owners to switch locales.
