Developing Story

There's a developing story in the NFL that bears watching. Not that we all didn't see this coming but it looks like the city of San Antonio is moving on keeping the Saints in town. The interesting thing is what the NFL's position will be in this. Usually, the NFL is great at masking cutthroat business savvy with tremendous public relations aplomb. If they don't stop this flirtation right now, it'll be a very ugly situation for the league and for Tom Benson, the Saints owner. Worse yet, the city of New Orleans might not get an expansion franchise the way Cleveland did. If they do, they'll have to wait until the league is ready to bring in Los Angeles as another expansion city.

This could get ugly.
