It's no surprise to most but it appears he will have to fight the nfl in order to do it....Here comes the nfl back to battle in court against an owner.

Maybe tagulibue should check the nfl's record in court.................

No way any of their free agents want any part of this team...

Upshaw: 'Don't renew your leases' in San AntonioESPN.com news services


New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson and the league could be headed to court because Benson wants the team relocated to San Antonio for the entire 2006 season and maybe beyond, ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported Saturday.

Benson told his players as much shortly after NFL Players Association executive director Gene Upshaw met with the Saints and told them, "Don't renew your leases" on their San Antonio dwellings & all but confirming what league sources say.

NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue is expected to order the team back to their Louisiana headquarters sometime in January. Player sources say Benson told his team that he will not be bullied and wants to stay in San Antonio.

Katrina took NO people's homes, teams and their lives. How depressing is that?

The only good thing about this move is that its one less place the bills can move to. No all we gotta do is get a team in LA and we'll be safe in keepin our team.

Tom Benson is such a piece of trash, im half way shocked he hasnt been assassinated. He is probably the most hated man in the state of Louisiana.

I hope he is forced to be here in 2006 and beyond.
