New Orleans Saints – Tom Benson (Rita LeBlanc Benson)

If these rankings were as knee-jerk as some fans would like them to be, Benson would have boogied way up toward the top of the list in the wake of the Saints’ stirring Super Bowl XLIV triumph. Alas, we look at the big picture here, and though Benson nfl jerseys
has certainly been a much better boss in the years since Hurricane Katrina (and then-commissioner Paul Tagliabue’s insistence that the team would not be moved from New Orleans), it’s the fans who deserve the bulk of the credit, as the New Orleans Times-Picayune’s Jeff Duncan pointed out so poignantly in a recent article. For all his improvements as an owner, be they motivated by altruism or pragmatism, Benson remains a relative spendthrift who isn’t blowing away peers with his nfl jersey authentic
league-wide vision and leadership. That said, Benson does chair the finance committee, and as the AFC owner notes, “It’s good to have a small-market voice in that role, and he puts a lot of time into it.” Benson, whose capable granddaughter, Rita, handles most of the franchise’s day-to-day operations, will watch his team kick off the 2010 season against the Vikings next Thursday in an upgraded Superdome with 16 new reebok nfl jersey
luxury boxes (and major renovations still to come after the 2010 campaign) and a big waiting list for season tickets. He’s also working with the state on developing land around the stadium.
