We have no wins in New Orleans, really, ever. And from a money standpoint, from the money they pull in compared to some other cities, and the fact that they're so Saints heavy, and the owner owns the Saints and saved the Pelicans just because the family felt bad and didn't want them to leave, but it's clearly not a big priority for them.
