Thoughts & Prayers are going out for all in the potential path of Irene. Living in New Orleans & going through Katrina has tought many of us in the Gulf Coast region some important lessons. If an evacuation is called please listen to authorities. Yes, traffic will be a nightmare, but much be...

That video was cute - how I wish I was shoveling sand! We may not have seen any of the snow or ice that is blanketing the rest of the country, but it is aweful cold down here in the south. Yesterday it was 68 degrees and Monday it even got up to the 70's. Currently it is 32 degrees and it feels like...

As I read these posts my blood is boiling. It is amazing that the rest of this country is just beginning to become interested in this oil leak that began on April 20th. We all know that hind sight is always 20/20 & there will be enough time to point fingers and play the blame game after. The gre...

Watching that video brings back such aweful memories. My heart goes out to all of the people in Nashville affected by that terrible flood. New Orleans knows all about those 100 year floods/storms. I can't say that I lost my own house in Katrina, but my Mom's single story home had water up to the cei...

Gotta love New Orleans - it's the only place in the world where you find people having a funeral for a nickname for a sports team! Wish I could have made it to the Jazz funeral for the "Aint's". Unfortunately after a two weeks of celebrating the super bowl & Mardi Gras I had to catch u...

BasUR - I will try to upload the pictures from the Saints parade this weekend. Can't find the USB cord for my camera. I'm hoping to have more pictures to upload of the Saints after the Mardi Gras parades this weekend. Nothintolose - I can only imagine how bad the traffic was from Lakeview. It was ba...

That was the craziest parade I have ever been to! I have been a Saints fan all my life & never thought I would see this day. I knew traffic would be bad, but had no idea it would take us an hour and a half to get downtown. I live outside of the city in Metairie and it usually takes about 15 minu...

WHO DAT!!!! This is amazing! Everyone thought that the Colts were so far superior to the Saints. I guess we showed them. The city is overflowing with joy. Fireworks are exploding, people are dancing in the street and Bourbon Street has more people on it than I have ever seen on Mardi Gras Day. The c...

nothintolose summed it up very nicely. As for the statistical data on the Saints - I'm not sure. What I can say is that the team isn't all about one star, but a team full of leaders and stars. The fate of the team isn't just resting on a quartback or reciever or the defense. This team has brought th...

Thanks cptnkirk - WHO DAT!

BasUR - I guess the NFL is just ticked off because they lost their attempt to claim the rights to "Who Dat"! No matter what the NFL tries to do the people of New Orleans will celebrate on Sunday. They are expecting crowds as large as those on Mardi Gras Day. Wakey - that was an awesome vid...

BasUR - Apparently finding a place to watch the game at other than a sports bar is becoming a difficult task. The NFL as we have seen over the past week is seeing dollars & wants their cut of everything. They are cracking down on public viewing of the game. There was an interesting article in th...

I am keeping a positive attitude about the game so with that being said i think it is safe to say that after the Saints win the city will pretty much shut down until Mardi Gras! All anyone is talking about & thinking about is the Superbowl and the Saints. We are all like a bunch of kids waiting ...

This is a link to some of the pictures that I took today at the march.

I actually went to Buddy & Bobby's Buncha Brawds March today. I took my two daughters - ages 12 & 7 - to see the march at the Superdome where it started from. It was amazing to see all of the people out there paying tribute to Buddy D & Bobby Hebert was quite a site in drag! There were t...
