Saints lose another front office member; Tagliabue 'off his rocker'?

The New Orleans Times-Picayune today reports that yet another front office executive is no longer affiliated with the Saints.

Mike Feder, who helped lead team operations in Baton Rouge, resigned Tuesday and cleaned out his office today.

The Times-Picayune cites sources from within that claim Feder had become uncomfortable in working with Tom Benson's granddaugther and supposed eventual heir of the franchise, Rita Benson LeBlanc.

LeBlanc, who is around 30 years old, has seen her role increase since her grandfather fired Arnold Fielkow, the ex-executive VP of administration.

In other news, San Antonio councilman Chip Haase was quoted by ksat.com (yes, the same ksat.com that thinks NFL teams host six games a year) as saying that NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue is "off his rocker if he doesn't think San Antonio is ready for the NFL."

Note to Haase - pretty much the rest of the league doesn't think you're ready either. And I'm guessing that bashing the commish isn't the best idea for trying to make him think otherwise.
