It's hard, very hard, for me to forgive Benson for always threatening to move the team to LA, asking for more money from the city/state without opening his books, not paying players (Morton Anderson, Pat Swilling, Sam Mills, Quinn Early, LaRoi Glover, Joe Johnson, etc.) and his comments after Katrina. Also, friends in the car business say he was a total douche to his employees.

It seems he's tried to buy a lot of goodwill later in his life. I'm thankful for that.

(And he didn't pay Drew Brees. That comes from Loomis spending money under the salary cap from the organization. It's not like he wrote a personal check or anything.)

Anyway that's just my opinion.
Everybody's entitled to have one.

I agree with you 100%. Can't add anything to that.
