    Well that sucks. RIP dude. Wasn't he the guy always happy on the field after the Saints had won a game with his umbrella?

    She was put on unpaid leave in like 2012 because she went through 30 assistants in 6 years. He's been grooming her to take over and he said that she had too much of a sense of entitlement to be ready.

    He had her and his daughter, adopted, removed from the team due to their trying to have him declared incompetent. He basically disowned them but eventually gave them ungrateful brats his Texas business interests.

    Go to NOLA.com and you can read about it. She was going to sell the team. Now his current wife owns the team though Micky Loomis and Sean Payton run it. My brothers priest order is about to get a big chunk/

    They already went to court over it two years ago. I think it's pretty much a done deal.

    My question is what is going to happen after she passes away? I think she is a good bit younger than Benson though. At least she looks like she is.

    Thirty years, I think. You think her young ass didn't sway his thoughts? I'm skeptical of the whole thing. Blood is thicker than water.
