I hated him until he took ownership of the Hornets/Pelicans.
The Hurricane Katrina season fiasco was hard to forget about.
as far as him being the best possible owner for the Pelicans... ehhh, I don't know.
I really like that he brought in Loomis to work salary cap magic, but Gary Chouest was my first choice.
He's a basketball guy. His kids are all basketball people. Its a basketball family with tons of money. Gotta love that.

It is just assumed that Rita will take over both franchises after he passes away?

It's not like Benson was a football guy when he bought the Saints. He's a businessman. And he wants his model to succeed. IMO that better than having a basketball guy.

This is wrong. Benson DGAF right now and is spending money. What more could you want out of him? Chouest was more likely to penny pinch and there was always the small possibility of relocating with him.

I was mad about Benson after Katrina for that situation, but when it comes down to it, the guy is a business owner looking to do what's best for his business. He's good in my book these days.
