The Fairgrounds is a dump and falling apart and horse racing is a niche sport.
It would be nice to have but it certainly wouldn’t do much for the city beyond create a massive traffic jam around City Park for a weekend in November.
I would spend more time fixing my shitty football and basketball teams than on this.
Could the @BreedersCup come to @fairgroundsnola
New Orleans Mayor Helena Moreno and Saints & Pelicans owner Gayle Benson went from Paris, France to Paris, Kentucky to work on landing the big event.

Gayle Benson has over $10b in assets and is about to get over $500m in NBA expansion. It’s time for city and state leaders to put up her own money for her hobbies.
This is a real possibility "if" Churchill Downs and the state of Louisiana are willing to step up and make it happen. Would need significant $$$ to upgrade the facility and add temporary seating for @BreedersCup. But it can happen. See: Lone Star Park, 2004.

Hardest part about the current state of the pelicans is watching other teams load up with youth and prosper.
We’ve been passed up with this process by Detroit, Washington, Utah, San Antonio, OKC. Teams I thought we were way ahead of in 2022.
Not a single lie in this rant.
The organization stinks.
Stephen A Smith GOES OFF of the Pelicans franchise 👀
“My popularity is bigger than anybody on your team outside of Zion… 65 games have been played and you’re still searching for your 20th victory. Yall are horrible! Yall have been trash! That is the reality…. You’re worth about 3.55B right now. That ranks 29th out of 30 teams in the NBA. This is your 24th year in the NBA. You used to be the Hornets, now you’re the Pelicans, that’s 2 nicknames. That’s how many playoff victories you have… You got the time to clap back at me, at least tell America why. It’s the only thing that can make you relevant”

23 years later and Smoothie King Center still has these same seats throughout most of the building. @ScottDKushner @ProPelsTalk

Saints were not eliminated from the playoffs today, but that threat is drawing closer. This will be the 8th time in 8 years without Sean Payton coaching his team that Mickey Loomis failed to guide them to the playoffs. Where is the accountability?
Training camp used to give opportunities to younger fans and those who couldn’t afford tickets a chance to see players up close and personal. Ownership has taken that opportunity away with closed camp in Newport and now is telling those left that they’re too poor to keep up.
Imagine a Saints training camp in France? Might sound outlandish, but it could happen one day. My column on a Who Dat Francophile's dream come true...

This is the kind of crap they are currently worried about on Airline Drive.
Can’t win any games, but maybe some magazine covers will make everyone happy.
Enjoy the $13 stale popcorn and genuflect to her power.
Congrats to Mrs. Benson on being named the most powerful woman in American sports by @Forbes! 👏

Fascinating to watch the different approaches between the Saints and Pelicans. Saints are all about the "process." Every search seems to be extended ... meanwhile the Pelicans fired and hired their most important employee in the span of 24 hours.

This is the LAZIEST and most uninspired move the Pelicans could have made
Look, maybe Dumars is the guy you want. But at least go through a process to interview and find the best person possible.
To basically finalize a deal less than 24 hours after firing Griffin is insane
The BCofRE retweeted
The problem isn’t Joe Dumars himself.
The process here is absolutely wretched. This deal was done before they even fired Griff. Hired their friend of 20 years without really opening the job.
Unserious. Arrogant. Substandard.
Sad state of affairs for NO sports fans.

Saints outgained the Panthers by 150+ yards, ran for 150+ yards, and won the turnover battle
Over the last 20 years, teams had gone 275-0 with that formula.
Now 275-1.

The arrogance and smugness at the upper levels of the Benson organization was always baffling, considering their rep was built exclusively on the backs of Payton & Brees.
To see how quickly, & how thunderously, all of their bullshit rhetoric has crashed down on them is poetic.
