And if you don’t like vanilla,
then you don’t get sh!t!”
Tom Benson –
NFL Owner, NBA owner, waffler.
July 12, 1927 – March 15, 2018.
Aged 90.
Most recognized for: Tom sold Chevys in N’awlins, but moved to San Antonio to buy a dealership. Then he bought some banks… and eventually an NFL team. In the years surrounding Hurricane Katrina, he issued and retracted multiple threats to move the Saints to San Antonio… which really pissed off New Orleans Mayor & chocolatier Ray Nagin. And for that, Tom, we thank you.
