The Bucs signed Chandler Catanzaro and I don't know how good/bad he actually is but whenever I hear Bucs and Kicker in the same sentence my balls shrivel up.

He's no Robert Aguayo.

He's also no Matt Bryant.

Tom Benson wasn't kidding around. He wrote out those who challenged him on his will.

http://www.wwltv.com/mobile/article/news/local/tom-bensons-will-reveals-daughter-grandchildren-will-get-nothing/529419341

NEW ORLEANS -- Tom Benson literally wrote his daughter and grandchildren out of his will after a feud splintered what once seemed to be a tight-knit family at the helm of the city’s two major sports franchises.

Benson died Thursday at the age of 90. His will, which was filed in Orleans Parish Civil Court Friday evening, was signed in July 2015, just more than a month after a judge found him mentally competent to handle his own affairs.

Among the witnesses to that signing was New Orleans Archbishop Gregory Aymond, a close confidant of Benson and his wife, Gayle.

The document solidifies who Tom Benson considered closest among his inner circle and reiterated that his daughter, Rene Benson, and grandchildren Rita LeBlanc and Ryan LeBlanc would not get another cent of his money.

The will at one point notes, "I specifically provide that Renee Benson, Rita LeBlanc, Ryan LeBlanc, and all of their descendants shall have no interest in my succession whatsoever, and no legacy or other inheritance or benefit of any kind shall be paid to any of them under this will or otherwise."

Benson, however, said after he removed them from his business leadership team that the three would be “very well taken care of after I die.”

The document spells out that he would leave his property to a trust and that he wanted Gayle Benson to have sole power over the New Orleans Saints and Pelicans. That was an expected move, given the nature of the legal battle the family went through three years ago after Benson ousted his relatives from the family business.

The family feud partially stemmed from an argument between Gayle Benson and Rita LeBlanc during a Saints game in 2014. Rene Benson, Rita LeBlanc and Ryan LeBlanc later described Tom Benson as being mentally unfit to remove them as heirs so he could leave his fortune and sports empire to his wife.

According to the will, if the trust formed the same day the document was signed ceases to exist, all of his property would go into another trust run by Gayle and his trusted lieutenant, Saints and Pelicans President Dennis Lauscha, with Gayle having exclusive voting power in matters concerning the sports franchises.

The will also singles out Saints General Manager Mickey Loomis and longtime Benson spokesman Greg Bensel for potential roles. Both men would serve as co-executors of Benson's estate if both Lauscha and Gayle Benson become "unwilling or unable" to serve in their capacities for any reason, with Loomis having the final say on any matters on which the two men disagree.

Louisiana law empowers relatives to contest wills on various grounds, including that the deceased was mentally incapacitated or subject to undue influence in making it. The attorney for Benson's jilted relatives, Randy Smith, has not indicated whether his clients intend to pursue that option, The New Orleans Advocate reported.

Benson's visitation is set for Wednesday and Thursday at Notre Dame Seminary. A funeral Mass will be said Friday at St. Louis Cathedral. Attendance is by invitation only.

The more I read about the Bensons, the gladder I am that the team went to his wife rather than his daughter and her kids. They seem like bigger assholes the more I read.

This is very good and we signed Ryan Jensen to play center so Ali Marpet gets to go back to guard. I like the extensions we did and the two big FA pickups of Allen and Jensen so maybe the Bucs will look good this year.

Donald is certainly a better player than Jordan, but Jordan had 13 sacks last year playing next to a much less talented interior line than Suh.

Oh, it's no slight against Jordan. Jordan is a great player. Donald is the best defensive player in the league though. That was not intended to be a knock on Jordan as much as pointing out how amazing Donald is. Also the Rams, at least on paper right now, are pretty scary. It probably won't all work, but man if it does...look out.

All that said, go to the Titans Suh!

True. I am thinking big picture though...which...granted if you don't get our of your own division is pointless unless you get a wildcard which I kinda expect the NFCS to send 2 again this year and 2 from the North perhaps...still very early.

It doesn't change the fact that I am with our South cousin, Metapod, on this one.

Yep. I missed WM30 because I was sick. When WM34 came back to New Orleans, I bought tickets the first day they were available for all five of us. It'll be the first wrestling show my kids have ever seen. And from the looks of it, it's going to be a hell of a show.

That's going to be an incredible experience for you and them. I can't imagine how wild a WM would be in person. They seem to get crazier with the set each year.
