ORLANDO, Fla. -- Gayle Benson made it clear during her first public comments Monday after the passing of Tom Benson she would "never" sell the New Orleans Saints or the New Orleans Pelicans.
"I don't think there's any other choice," Benson said at the league's owners meetings. "I think that's the only thing that you could do is to keep his legacy alive. Where else would you go? I'm from New Orleans. My husband was from New Orleans. We're just like one big family over there."
Gayle Benson has taken over as the owner of both New Orleans professional sports franchises after Tom Benson's death on March 15.
