Saints owner Tom Benson's estranged family appeals to Louisiana Supreme Court
 
The estranged family of Saints and Pelicans owner Tom Benson continued to challenge the 88-year-old's mental competency by filing an appeal to the Louisiana Supreme Court on Wednesday (March 23).

Benson's daughter Renee Benson and grandchildren Rita and Ryan LeBlanc -- who Tom Benson disavowed last year -- argue the patriarch is in mental decline and being manipulated by his third wife, Gayle, and Saints executives. The estranged relatives filed a lawsuit last year seeking to take control of Benson's estimated $2.2 billion empire including the sports franchises.

After an eight-day, closed-door trial in June, Orleans Civil District Judge Kern Reese decided that Tom Benson is competent to make decisions about his personal and business affairs after hearing testimony from three psychiatrists, Saints president Dennis Lauscha and a former nurse to Benson, among others.

They just won't go away. I feel Benson might die soon because of this pressure.
