Pelicans and Saints owner Tom Benson ruled competent

Good news, but not resolution.

One piece of the wide ranging court battle over ownership of the New Orleans Pelicans and Saints found a bit of conclusion this afternoon. The petition for interdiction by estranged heirs, to file that Benson was no longer competent to handle his own affairs, was denied by judge Kern Reese.

Gayle and I wish to thank the entire community for the overwhelming support that we have received during this trying time. Through it all, our fans and our sponsors showed unwavering support for our Saints and Pelicans.
