The facts are that he is giving a shite load of money to Rita and the rest. He just doesn't ' want them to have any managerial control over his companies. Why that bothers anyone who knows about or has met Rita is beyond my comprehension.



This. ANd they are trying to fight it, because half a billion dollars is not enough for those greedy cork soakers.

Then we have morons like this idiot come on here and take up for them. Terrible, just terrible.

What if their grandfather is legit incompetent and not making his decisions?

Or we have level headed people that think an 87 year old man being incompetent is very realistic

Giving away 25,000,000 when you're worth well over 2,000,000,000 isn't all that much. Means you have well over $1,975,000,000 remaining. Also that money was written off taxes.

That is a torn page from liberal the economics textbook. $25 million is $25 million, and his $25 million is worth the same as your $25 million (theoretically, if you could rub together enough brain cells to make that much). If you put a $20 bill in a relief donation at church, do you get chastised because you made $75k last year and that donation is a crumb from your annual sandwich?

Frick no. Before long you'll be on a soapbox explaining why we have to pay for your medical insurance, too.

The courts will decide.

Regardless of that, based on personal experience I will always consider Rita an insufferable person. Until I hear something other than totally unfounded conjecture from posters on the internet, I will continue to hold Gayle in high regard.

The 3 R's have no more "Right" to Tom's estate than Gayle. Whatever he chooses should hold complete sway, assuming he is found competent.

I really hope he is found competent.

This was the reason he started this thread

Sound level headed?

As to Benson the family is headed to court which is never good.
Now it will be in a Judges hand to decide the facts despite the amazing thoughtful penetrations of the original OP

Worst Case Scenario: Judge forces Benson to sell the teams to a 3rd party, of which then both Gayle and the 3R's divide the proceeds.

Then no one wins, except for the deep pockets (probably not from NOLA) who buys the team and moves them to greener pastures.

I think that would be called a pyrrhic victory for both parties. The other guy didn't win, but neither did you. Of course, the millions soothe the pain, except for the fans.

Because what you have then is a valuable team, with an out of town owner, a really old stadium, and a town without much of a business base. That is not good.

Tom's lack of competency does not make up for Rita's lack of competency. Even If he may not be in his right mind I still don't believe they are suited to run this.

I don't like the things I hear about Rita but it does sound like Tom has lost it. Multiple people who hate Rita are on the MSB are talking about how they spoke with Tom at a party recently and he isn't there


Tom Benson is going to be declared mentally incapacitated. Gayle has even stupidly told people this in several social settings when people asked about Tom's lack of attendance.

By his own drs? It is going to be very, very difficult for that to happen for the voting shares that aren't covered by the Texas trust
