Saints' Tom Benson To Undergo Mental Exams To Determine Competency Amid Ownership Dispute

Tom Benson, the owner of the NFL's New Orleans Saints and the NBA's New Orleans Pelicans, must submit to mental examinations to determine whether he is competent to retain control over his business affairs, a judge ruled Tuesday. The decision was made as part of a lawsuit filed by the 87-year-old's daughter and grandchildren last month after he announced that his third wife Gayle Benson would assume sole control of the teams in the event of his death.
