Pretty sad thing for him to be dealing with in the late stages of his life.

However, this ruling doesn't really affect the outcome of the case. The only one that will is the examination by a doctor.

My hope is that Mr. Benson is ultimately able to do whatever he pleases with his fortune. If he truly has lost his mental health and he's been taken advantage of by his wife, I hope his children and grandchildren win the suit. If hes completely there mentally and this is truly what he wants, I hope he's granted that wish.

His daughter, Renee LeBlanc, has been essentially running the Saints organization for several years.

That would be his granddaughter, Rita. Renee had more to do with the car dealerships, along with Ryan. Rita had always been the heir apparent for the Saints and Pelicans.

Renee would have taken over as majority owner, but Rita was president or vice president of football operations.

Thanks for the clarification. I knew they were all mostly involved in several of the family businesses, just the who's and what's of each I was going off memory.

Not a problem. It's all very terribly confusing.

Renee hasn't had much of anything to do with the Saints or Pelicans. Her and Ryan basically ran the car dealerships from my understanding. Rita was very hands on with the Saints and Pelicans.

While I can't speak for the Pelicans people, there aren't many in the Saints organization who care for Rita much.

      Hoping you guys keep it up

      It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️

      Cam on ‘The Bank’

      It was always a matter of time with Cam’s playing style and a shorter shelf life than passers that protect themselves. I suppose Cam could have still been playing in 2028 ten years after the hit took place, but he would need to have evolved as a quarterback and become more of a passer than the dual threat maestro he was. It’s sad because it makes us think of what could have been, but I do feel it was always a matter of time until all the hits took their toll.
