Wvue Fox 8 interviewed Tom and Gayle as they entered the Saints facility. He was in passenger seat, Gayle was driving. He answered one or two general questions. Noting about the suit.

Said he feels like a 50 year old. Going to do a days work for a days pay.

Is that another shot at the entitled spoiled (allegedly) other side?

ETA: he seemed normal (for him) in terms of his mental facilities.

Yeah, he seemed like he was there, but it wasn't exactly a ringing endorsement of his current mental acuity.

He seemed "normal for him" to me.

He has never been an orator.

When he said he felt like he was 50 I wish the reporter would have asked well how old are you Mr. Benson.

He seems fine for his age.
My dad is 87 and still sharp as a tack.
My mom is 79 and has dementia.
I hope bourbon helps me fall somewhere in that middle.

Benson talks like every male born in the St Roch part of town in the 1930s. It's not the queen's English but people shouldn't interpret it as being uneducated. Benson is a shrewd "bidness" man!

I don't really care who ends up with the team.

Benson tried to move the team to San Antonio after Katrina, I don't put screwing over his grandkids past him.

So, how is he "screwing over his grandkids?" Sounds like you feel like Rita, that she is ENTITLED. Neither Gayle or his daughter/grandkids are blood, so neither can complain about that. I do not see how him giving anything to his wife is "screwing over his grandkids." Sounds to me like they have been well taken care of throughout their lives.
