"Twenty-five years into his ownership of the NFL franchise, Benson finally brought New Orleans something many critics and even some fans never thought he could deliver: a Super Bowl title.


Already considered one of the more powerful NFL owners, Benson, with his shiny new Lombardi Trophy, tops the TP's list of most powerful and influential people on the south Louisiana sports scene for the second straight year.

Brees was a good quarterback long before he arrived in N.O. in 2006. But the Super Bowl MVP has reached new levels of popularity following the Saints' magical season.
