Sorry, but if the Saints leave New Orleans, they'll be headed to Los Angeles, not San Antonio.

And about the comment from the Saints spokesman, what was he supposed to say? He can't say "No, no, no! We are here to stay forever!" because the city still is facing problems, and because the NFL is a business, you can simply never say that. So his comment doesn't mean much of anything to me apart from what it said, they had no comment, because there was nothing new to comment on.

As for the Saints season here last year, the city of New Orleans and its citizens stepped up and did everything it could've done to ensure the Saints that the city could keep them. A completely renovated Superdome that is now as good as it was 25 years ago, the season sold out completely on season ticket sales, and every single suite in the Dome except for two or three bought up by local businesses. Basically everything the city wasn't supposed to be able to do, happened, and the NFL was extremely pleased. And the good news, this coming season looks even more profitable for the team than last year.

But again, if the Saints leave in 3 years, it would be disappointing, but not too suprising. And if they do leave, they'll be in Los Angeles before they even leave New Orleans.
