ORLANDO, Fla. -- Gayle Benson was steadfast Monday that the New Orleans Saints and Pelicans won't be going anywhere now that she has replaced her late husband, Tom Benson, as owner of the two franchises.
"I don't think there's any other choice. I think that's the only thing we could do is to keep his legacy alive. Where else would you go? I'm from New Orleans. My husband was from New Orleans. And we're just like one big family over there," said Benson, who was asked about her reaction to reports or rumors that surfaced after Benson's death that she might eventually sell the Pelicans.
