Gayle was a client and friend when she met Tom. I attended their wedding, and met him once and spoke to him. He was very personable and gracious.

Prayers to Tom and Gayle.

He wasn't the richest man in Louisiana.

Second richest? Yes.

His net worth has taken a massive hit in the last 24 months. I don't believe he would be the richest man in Louisiana.

I will never forgive him for trying to steal the Saints away to TX after Katrina. That was a punk arse move Mr. Benson.


I truly believe that had it not been for Paul Tagliabue, he would have succeeded.

May move the practice facility uptown, though.


Traffic is already terrible enough uptown. I don’t want those Metairieites causing more congestion on open practice days.

The Chouests' will never be in Forbes. They are extremely private people... obsessively private.

He doesn't care.

I can never thank him enough for saving the New Orleans Saints and Pelicans and bringing a Superbowl victory to our city.

RIP Mr. Benson. Steady hand miss Gayle.
