Benson: Heirs "tried to kill me"

crazy arse people. If my grandpa was about to leave me a nfl team I would be sucking his arse and doing whatever he said. some people can frick up a wet dream..

Tell us more of the inner workings

quote:

---

In stating why he isn't leaving them any money. I don't blame him one bit

---

It's a fricking travesty that a man who really has done a lot for the state has to deal with this in his last few years of being alive.

I certainly don't know the inner workings. It's certainly possible that they really were trying to kill him. However, making a public statement like that does sound something like the ramblings of a going senile old man. It isn't exactly how an intelligent and rational person would handle a plot on his life.

ETA: Although after reading that short article, it does sound like he is being dramatic for effect. It seems like something that he has been in the habit of doing more than once.

You're the world's greatest detective. It was explained clearly:

quote:

---

They tried to kill me for one thing,” Benson said. Asked to explain further, Benson said, “You know by picking on my wife and when I wasn’t feeling very good they were very hostile.”

---

quote:

---

Benson specifically referred to a December 2014 incident in which his wife, Gayle Benson, was physically assaulted at a Saints game. A prior report indicated that granddaughter Rita Benson LeBlanc accosted Gayle Benson. Tom Benson testified that his daughter, Renee, was the aggressor.

Tom Benson also testified that he believed his heirs were trying to take the teams away from him.

“They attacked me, you got to know,” Benson said. “That’s why I don’t want to leave them anything. Okay?”

Some of you people are so fricking stupid. And it's not just you it, it reaches all the way to national "journalists".

First of all, most of you didn't read the article, because he didn't mean it literally at all.

Second of all, in the beginning, he said he was leaving all of them a shite load of money, he just didn't want to leave them in control of the actual sports teams. He said that multiple times. They are all getting millions of dollars, they just aren't getting controlling stake in the sports teams because they've all proved to be incompetent pieces of shite.

Then they went on this campaign to get him declared incompetent and mentally incapacitated and publicly humiliated him and his wife, so he said frick you then. As he should have. frick them.

Get your facts straight before you bash Tom Benson, one of the greatest men ever born in New Orleans.

That wife is the devil, I've seen this too many times. Weak for the pussy old man gonna give this bitch everything so she can just transfer all his hard work to her family tree. Sure his will have money yet hers will live off the teams forever, what a joke. These whores never cease to amaze me

I think that honor goes to you...

The title of the article clearly tries to have scandalous implications. If you disagree you are wrong. I clearly based the comment on this. Then I clearly stated that the short excuse for an article sounded different than the title. Hence it was clearly misleading. But you probably already used your incredible powers of reasoning to put this together.

the fact that none of his grandsons were ever interested in the Saints is so weird to me.

It isn't that weird. I know multiple people who have very successful fathers and refused taking over the business. People, especially males, sometimes want to forge their own path.
