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.

I dont think he meant they were trying to poison him or stab him... just that they were causing him alot of stress when he is old and decrepit.

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?”
