Tom Benson and his wife somehow secured a few minutes with the Pope Benedict XVI recently at his weekly general audience in Rome.
As custom dictates, Benson kissed the Pope’s famous Fisherman Ring. And then Benson offered up a ring of his own. “I said to him I’d like to show you my ring,” Benson told Bruce Nolan of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, with his wife by his side during the interview. ”I told him what it was, you know? It’s a Super Bowl ring. And he understood that, right, darling?” The picture is on Nola.com and is pretty priceless. “There’s this cardinal laughing too. He couldn’t believe I would do that,” Benson said. We also can’t believe Benson is really going to send Benedict a Saints jersey with “Holy Father” and the number one on the back. Maybe Benson wants Benedict to solve the team’s short-yardage woes. Tom Benson shows the pope his ring | ProFootballTalk

He does realize we have the most blasphemous name of any team.
