they just mentioned they'll replay them later. I think they mean at half, but I was typing and listening at the same time....that doesn't always work.

I liked Irma and Allen but after all of these years I still don't get U2 or Green Day I was thinking they'd have more homegrown talent.

WHO DAT? WHO DAT? WHO DAT SAY DEY GONNA BEAT DEM SAINTS?



Round trip airfare to New Orleans from Nashville: $225

Hotel room: $187

Ticket to the game: $175

Seeing the NEW ORLEANS SAINTS march back into the Superdome and destroy the Atlanta Falcons. . .

PRICELESS!!!

Words don't begin to describe how incredible the game was and how much energy was found in a city that is struggling.

When I arrived in New Orleans, the emptiness was overwhelming. The Riverwalk Mall was a ghost town as was the Jax Brewery Mall. There were parking places. Something unheard of in the New Orleans of my youth.

It took a couple miles of walking to find any activity other than construction. Bourbon Street was hopping and full of Saints fans gearing up for the big game. That was the only place in the French Quarter that was busy or had the true N'awlins smell. That brief walk down Bourban Street reminded me of the city I fell in love with as a child. The rest still has decades before it will ever be New Orleans again, if it ever truly is. The New Orleans I grew up in will eventually come back, I hope.

Tonight was a much needed step in that direction. It wasn't without its protesters, though. One lone woman held a sign proclaiming that Mercy Hospital could have been rebuilt with the $185 million spent on the rebuilding of the Superdome. That is true, but hospitals don't bring tourists back to town. Hospitals don't generate revenue for a city struggling for its very exsistance. I can see her point. Hospitals are very important, but so is tourism to a city built on it.

The Saints have marched triumphantly back into the Dome. Let the rebirth of New Orleans begin.

The pre-game festivities were great and the game was fantastic.
The Saints have a bunch of really BEAUTIFUL cheerleaders, and not a d*mn one of them knows I even exist.

I could have told them for you if I'd known.

Thanks. Maybe next year?
In the meantime, you can tell the Titan's cheerleaders if they're in the market for a dirty old man you know somebody in Iowa who's VERY dirty, sort of old, and every inch a man.

Now see, that would involve subjecting myself to the torture of a Titans' game. I'd rather come back down here and tell the Saintsations about you.

If it's any consolation, there are probably other cheerleading squads that have never heard of you either...

Maybe hospitals don't bring in tourists, but they do make the life for the folks who are there before and after the fans fly in before and out after a game more liveable. Mercy was the charity hospital if I remember right, and too if I remember right, the city is down to one operating hospital out of all the ones they had prior to Katrina.

Yes, the other hospitals were private owned and were suffering before Katrina due to all of the uninsured people. It will be a long time before a company decides to bring a private hospital into the city again. Having the tourists come back and hopefully encourage others to return to rebuild aids in that effort.

Aw, the Titans aren't that bad. At least they have some dynamite looking cheerleaders.
But if you're going back to NAWLINS to set me up with one of the Saint-ETTES, let me know if you need any money for a ticket to get you there.

Fixed it for you.
