Leave it to Benson

On the day the New Orleans Saints announced record season ticket sales, Saints owner Tom Benson found it in his heart to express disappointment in the sale of luxury suites at the Superdome. To be fair, Benson said the sales were improving.

Still, he couldn't bask in the glory of season ticket sales over the 54,000 mark. Instead there was a mention of disappointing luxury suite sales (81 have been sold for the coming season).

This Benson-Saints fan relationship apparently will always be a tense one. Even when he does the right thing, the wrong thing is not far behind with Benson.

The best thing that could happen for Saints fans is a fast start on the football field to forget about all of the off-the-field stuff.
