You know what I find most curious about this?

The story was uploaded by the T-P/Nola.com at a time when most folks are asleep - Posted Jul 26, 11:54 PM...

And apparently none of the staff writers have the cojones to take credit but rather gave it to The Associated Press...

Greg Bensel must be one intimidating man to the Saints press corps as the T-P also included this caveat - The Advocate newspaper first reported the ruling.

By the way the judgement includes attorney fees of $190k - 49.4% of the judgement...

(excerpt) ...Henry's initial lawsuit in November 2015 accused the Saints not only of failing to pay overtime, but also of firing him for complaining that Benson's wife, Gayle, made racially insensitive comments about him. Henry, who is black, has not been awarded any damages for claims of racism...

This is the first time since the family struggle for control of the team that a local news agency has published something about Gayle Benson in a negative light...

Again, at about five minutes to midnight...

I'm not sure this is all that unusual in a small media market. You don't want to make any enemies, especially with the largest news maker in the area.
