Bayou Buzz, Op-Ed: New Orleans Saints Superdome Win: An American Dream, Steve Sabludowsky, September 25, 2006 NATIONAL NEWS An Emotional Recovery The New York Times September 26, 2006 By Lee Jenkins NEW ORLEANS -- When Jimmy and Marilyn Felder walked into the Superdome at 5 p.m. on Monday, they were like anyone else trying to find their seats. But the Felders were not simply looking for the seats where they would watch the football game. They were also looking for the seats where they lived last August. On the morning of Aug. 29, 2005, as Hurricane Katrina peeled back the Superdome's 9.7- acre roof, the Felders were curled up in the field level, trying to sleep with little success. They could not block out the stench or the noise in the stadium. They could not stay dry with the rainwater dripping through the roof. They returned Monday, as new Saints season-ticket holders. The Felders, who fled the Superdome one day after the hurricane, wading through knee-high water to escape, were among the first fans rushing into the stadium when it reopened. ''A lot of people who were here are going to be afraid to come back,'' Jimmy Felder said. ''But we wanted to be here.'' Ninety seconds into Monday's game, the Saints rediscovered the meaning of home-field advantage. A reserve cornerback named Curtis Deloatch picked up a blocked punt in the end zone, and a year's worth of pent-up noise came pouring out. The Saints' victory over the Atlanta Falcons, 23-3, set off a Mardi Gras in September. Tom Benson, the owner who threatened to move the team to San Antonio last fall, danced under a parasol with the cheerleaders. The game ball was initially given to Avery Johnson, the Dallas Mavericks' coach, who grew up six blocks from the Superdome. But Johnson, who instructed the Saints before the game to ''seize the second,'' thought Benson deserved it more. The crowd of 70,003 was perhaps louder than U2 and Green Day combined. The two bands, which performed together before the game, tested the strength of the Superdome's new roof when they belted out a remake of the song ''The Saints Are Coming.'' As if on cue, the Saints came charging out of their tunnel, and the rock concert gave way to pure heavy metal. The crowd quieted only for a brief video presentation that included footage from Hurricane Katrina. The Felders were hoping to see the Saints beat the Falcons, but they also hoped to replace the image of the Superdome they had been carrying for more than a year. Back then, the stadium was a shelter that smelled of sewage. Now, it smells like a new car. Back then, two out of every three lights were out. Now, every bulb is new. Back then, chaos ruled. Now, chaos is limited mostly to the football field. On Atlanta's first possession, the Superdome sounded the way it did in the days of Pat Swilling and Rickey Jackson, when the Saints were famous for their defense. The Falcons ran three plays, then failed to get off a punt. ''It was like an explosion,'' said Deloatch, who recovered the blocked punt. ''It was like I just gave New Orleans a brand-new city.'' Each New Orleans touchdown was jammed with significance. The Saints scored on a double reverse in which the most devastating block was thrown by Drew Brees, a quarterback who is coming off shoulder surgery. Devery Henderson, who scored the touchdown, was knocked to the ground in the celebration. That block by Brees, surprising and defiant, may come to symbolize this season in New Orleans. With a 3-0 record, the Saints have already won as many games as they did all of last season, staking an early claim to first place in the National Football Conference South. Standing on the Saints' sideline Monday evening was Will Howland, an Army medic who was among 150 first-responders to be honored. Howland still has nightmares about the six days he spent in the Superdome. He said that some of his colleagues were still ''unable to function in real life.'' Then Howland pointed to the plaza section behind one end zone. That is where he treated a man who jumped 50 feet to his death. ''I dreaded this at first when they asked me to come back,'' Howland said. ''But I realized, having seen so much negative here, I had to see some positive.'' When the stadium doors opened, fans charged into the concourses, hollering as if their team had already won. Some wore construction helmets with Saints logos. Others carried parasols. One dressed as a nun. The most common sign: ''No Place Like Dome.'' Locals lined up Poydras Street on Monday afternoon, waiting to get into the Superdome, just as they had before the hurricane. They stood outside Gate A, just as they had before the hurricane. In the distance, the Hyatt Hotel was still missing windows. This time, no one was seeking refuge. They were heading to see the Goo Goo Dolls. The concert was held on a stadium ramp where evacuees stood last August, watching helicopters take off and land, transporting the sick and the elderly. ''The word homecoming will be redefined tonight,'' said Paul Tagliabue, a former National Football League commissioner. But only six miles from the Superdome, the Lower Ninth Ward was quiet. Besides a few construction workers, a couple of homeowners and a group from the Red Cross, no one seemed to be outside. The juxtaposition between the gleaming Superdome and the ravaged Lower Ninth Ward is evidence of two different New Orleans. Asked about the evacuees who had been in the Superdome during the hurricane and decided to come back to the stadium, receiver Joe Horn said: ''I was feeling their emotion. That's where my tears came from.'' The Felders are from New Orleans East, and when they could not bear the conditions at the Superdome, they walked through a parking lot, found dry land on Loyola Street, and were picked up by friends who drove them down to Baton Rouge. It took a football game Monday night for them to find their way back. With All Due Respect, ESPN Shows Its Softer Side The New York Times September 26, 2006 By Richard Sandomir One test of ESPN's many hours of pre-''Monday Night Football'' coverage of the Saints' return to New Orleans last night had to do with its level of sensitivity. Would the hype-driven ESPN show up at the Superdome or would it demonstrate a grasp of the dichotomy between the signs of French Quarter revival seen by tourists and what remains devastated as if Hurricane Katrina had struck a week ago? The need to show respect was stressed by Chris Rose, a columnist for The Times- Picayune, in an open letter on Sunday to the ESPN analyst Joe Theismann. ''We've got bigger issues than the Falcons to deal with,'' he wrote. ''We've got life.

  • Ron Jaworski
    WORLDWIDE SPEAKERS GROUP LLC YOUR GLOBAL PARTNER IN THOUGHT LEADERSHIP RON JAWORSKI After a 17-year distinguished career as an NFL quarterback, today Jaworski is coaching football fans on TV with a multiplatform NFL analyst role that includes appearances on Sunday NFL Countdown, Monday Night Countdown, NFL Matchup, NFL-branded specials, Mike & Mike in the Morning, Pardon the Interruption, and other platforms and shows throughout the year. ESPN’S Mike Tirico said, “If you made a list of 10 guys on TV in any sport as an analyst who you'd want to have a beverage with and watch a game, he’s [Ron Jaworski] high on that list.” Before switching to his current multiplatform analyst role with ESPN, Ron spent five seasons in the booth with Mike Tirico and Jon Gruden as the color commentator for Monday Night Football. Jaworski’s passion for football can be traced back to his days as a kid growing up in the gritty steel town of Lackawanna, NY. A three-sport stand out in high school (football, basketball and baseball), Jaworski was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals out of high school. He wanted to go play baseball immediately, but his father pushed for college first, and Jaworski’s football talents brought him to Youngstown State where he excelled as the quarterback for the Penguins. The Los Angeles Rams drafted Jaworski in the second round of the 1973 NFL Draft. After four years with the Rams, Jaworski joined the Philadelphia Eagles in 1977. Under head coach Dick Vermeil and behind Jaworski’s ability and field leadership, the Eagles advanced to their first-ever berth in a Super Bowl vs.

    Case 2:15-cv-00782-JTM-JCW Document 99 Filed 03/16/16 Page 1 of 36 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA THOMAS MILTON BENSON, JR. CIVIL ACTION VERSUS NO. 15-782 ROBERT A. ROSENTHAL ET AL. SECTION “H” (2) ORDER AND REASONS ON MOTIONS The plaintiff in this case is Thomas M. Benson, Jr., (“Benson”) in his capacity as grantor of the 2009 and 2012 Irrevocable Trusts of Renee Benson, Rita Benson LeBlanc and Ryan LeBlanc, and of the Tom Benson 2012 and 2014 Grantor Retained Annuity Trusts. Benson seeks declaratory and injunctive relief to establish the validity of his proposed substitution of assets from and into the subject trusts. The defendants are (1) Robert A. Rosenthal, in his capacity as trustee of the 2009 and 2012 Irrevocable Trusts of Renee Benson, Rita Benson LeBlanc and Ryan LeBlanc, and of the Tom Benson 2012 and 2014 Grantor Retained Annuity Trusts and (2) Mary R. Rowe, in her capacity as Trustee of the Renee Benson 2012 Irrevocable Trust, the Rita Benson LeBlanc 2012 Irrevocable Trust, and the Ryan LeBlanc 2012 Irrevocable Trust. The trusts were formed and granted and the trustees were appointed under Texas law. The named beneficiaries of the trusts are Benson’s daughter and grandchildren. It is undisputed that Benson has the authority to substitute trust assets. The principal issue around which all claims and defenses revolve in this case is whether the property Benson proposes to substitute for trust assets is equivalent in value to the Case 2:15-cv-00782-JTM-JCW Document 99 Filed 03/16/16 Page 2 of 36 previously granted trust assets, which include the New Orleans Saints football club and the New Orleans Pelicans basketball organization, among other things.
