Saints to Toronto for 1 Billion Dollars?

Monday, in a story about the NFL's return to New Orleans, Sports Illustrated's Peter King reported that Saints' owner Tom Benson had been offered that princely sum of money by a "Canadian consortium", hoping to buy the franchise in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and presumably move it to Toronto.

nothing against Canada...but I don't see the NFL moving a team there. New Orleans needs this team more than ever, and I think they find a way to work it out and stay.

Boy wouldnt this be the feel good story of the century? Theres no way this team moves, the Saints rebuilt the stadium with FEMA money, theres just no way they could get away with selling and moving now.

No way this happens. But if Toronto gets a football team before L.A I'm going to be pissed.

How much money?

The Saints wont be going anywhere. not after investing millions of dollars to renavate teh stadium instead of spendign that money on rebuilding the city.

i can see another team moving to canada though. sadly enough the bills would probubly be on top of that list due to our location and other finantial factors.

The stadium is part of the city. It is used for way more than just Saints games. The sugar bowl is there(I could have swore that Tulane plays there, maybe that was just one game though), they have conventions, and fairs, and all sorts of things there. It is part of the city, it isn't a private building that they misused funds to fix. It's a huge part of the NO economy.
