re: Benson's daughter and grandkids requesting a competency ruling on Tom

This will not really affect the management of the teams I wouldn't think. They run pretty independantly, and Lauscha/Loomis have ridiculous amounts of power while Tom is still kicking.

Yep, and the kids/grandkids are beneficiaries of the trust, not owners of the team. That's a very big difference. Plus, I doubt management decisions are passed onto the trust until after Tom's death. I think the play they are making to have him declared incompetent is to undo their firing. I don't see how their firing can be undone otherwise. Basically, they'll be the beneficiary of the fund, making money from the team, but not be allowed to work for the team.

We need our board attorneys to review my thoughts, though.
