Just heard a PR guy for the NO Saints that is here in the Dallas area...
He is going to San Antonio for a meeting tomorrow with all of the Saints people, in order to figure out what they will do...supposedly James Carville pleaded with them NOT to stop the season, and told them that the people of NO needed the games...
Also, they don't know yet where they will play their games...
The same station (sports) said that the Hornets are considering not having their team play at all this next season.(rumor)
The SAINTS are playing the Raiders tonight...they chartered two jets to leave town last week, and tooks all their computers and pertinent files, knowing they would not be back. I know a Saints coach.
And they took all the families with them...forgot to add that.
I read somewhere that they had considered playing in TX, Tiger Stadium and Legion Field.
Football season? Trucks are being rationed gas at $50 a stop. Some trunking companies are not going down south to pick up loads. Looting taking place now in Baton Rouge. Million refugees across the land. This ain't Bud Lite time believe me. No sir.
I agree with Carville, the people of LA and that general vicinity need the Saints to play this year. They should try to get some of the games in a stadium closer to home also, so there can be home crowd influence. Houston is good because a lot of the Saints fans will be there in Shelters still. They need something positive in their lives. I know how I felt last year when the Dolphins could not play.
