Nagin speaks sense

As unlikely as it may seem, Mayor Ray Nagin made a lot of sense yesterday during remarks for the re-opening of the Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans.

According to the Daily Wipe, Nagin was asked about Benson's (spit! hack!) move to take the Saints to San Antonio.

"I'm ready to go to the NFL and to (commissioner Paul) Tagliabue and say, 'Give us the Cleveland plan,'" Nagin added, referring to the league awarding Cleveland an expansion team almost immediately after the Browns moved to Baltimore after the 1995 season. "Whatever the Saints want to do, you let them leave, but they can't take our logo, they can't take our name, and you give us a promise to give us a franchise when this city's back."

Good for you, Mayor.

Now, lets all try and come up with some names for the team that is moving to San Antonio. San Antonio Swimmers? San Antonio Evacuees? Maybe the San Antonio Deserters? San Antonio Swine? Have fun with this in comments.

Keep the Saints name, logo, and home in New Orleans. If Benson wants to go somewhere else, good riddance.
