Tom Benson answering the italicized question from ESPN Magazine
How close did the team come to moving?
The rest of the world thought we were down and weren't coming back. We had to relocate in 2005. Our practice facility was occupied by the military during that time. Publicly, everybody was talking about that. But we -- ourselves and our staff -- wanted to come back. We just had to find a way. And that's what we did.
Tom Benson is full of shit. Not only was he dragged back to New Orleans kicking and screaming after Katrina, he spent the years immediately preceding the event crying to get out. Oyster covered a lot of this in detail in this response to a sappy ESPN paean to the Bensons back in December.
