The court proceedings to determine the Competency of Saints/Pelicans owner Tom Benson concluded on Friday. Nbcsports.com reports he didn't take the witness stand. The media was banned from the courtroom, and judge Kern Reese ordered the records sealed. The proceedings lasted 8 days.

When the 87-year-old patriarch left the courthouse on Friday, he told reporters “It’s not fun, it’s not any fun to have your kids turn against you, it’s for the birds.”

A ruling is expected some time next week.
