My wife's family lives in Naw'lins so we come twice a year. First off, the worst drivers I have ever seen and I have lived in both NY and Fla. I-10 is constant grid lock and accidents every mile or so....total cluster "F". Think another SB here would be laughable unless you repelled from a helicopter onto the Super Dome.Went to the French qtr for some food (which is great) and with the drunks,trannies, and freaks,it was pretty entertaining.Asheville has nothing on this place when we are talking bizarre people(to each his own...that's why I love Asheville).Saints flags every where and Brees's mug every where..even overheard tour guides saying "drew eats here and likes this restaurant" etc.Have my Panthers plate on my vehicle and love the stink eye's I get.Reporting from the huddle's favorite city and getting ready to fight my way out...the lone Panther fan here in town.

I-10 is only bad during the morning work hours and evening off hours. Between that there's not much traffic. You're using a bit of hyperbole with the accidents every mile though lol.

I have a love/hate relationship with the Quarter. The architecture and history down there is really something to see, but the drunks and smell around Bourbon is just awful. The funny thing is, NO gets the bad rep for it when it's the biggest tourist attraction in the city and they're the reason it is like it is.

Hope you enjoyed your stay! Hit me up sometime when you're in town an I'll buy you a beer!

god man i hate that shitty state. any time i want to recreate my drive through louisiana earlier this year i eat some shitty cajun food and shit all around my car and empty my trash can around the tires and sit in it idling with the windows shut while some shitty crab farmer shucks his crabs and sells them out of the back of a 1979 dodge pickup with an NRA sticker and a rack of shrimp nets

 

in other words i never want to recreate that twelve hour stretch of my life

DO NOT wear sandals out in the quarter. Horrible, horrible diseases await you.

Enjoy NOLA though. All saints hate aside it really is a unique city. Just don't go outside downtown or to Metarie.l

 

Jmac, if you do catch anything remember to take pictures and post them in

      Some love for Steve Wilks

      By PootieNunu · Posted

      Wilks is a nobody in the grand scheme of things.  He is right back out of the NFL, exactly where he was before Carolina dragged him back to the NFL.  I don't see what he has to be pissed or salty about. He got a shot with 2 teams and was just a average coach as he has always been.  He is a lesser Fox/Rivera

      Chris Long: Bryce Young Went Toe To Toe With Patrick Mahomes

      By shaka · Posted

      The way BY must play quarterback has a much higher degree of difficulty.  Coupled with his physical limitations his margin for error is small.    The guy evading the blitz and dropping a dime deep over double coverage is more exciting then a wobbling ball thrown into the blitz with good enough placement that gets 6 yards on a 3rd and 5.  It's been beat to death that he will never be the first guy.  He was the second guy vs the Chiefs.    The second guy is harder to do because it's mostly mental:  reading, reacting and processing the correct solution that the defense provided within a second or two.    It's harder to see on film, it's harder to evaluate.  That's why I think there's a divergence between fans yelling "noodle armed middle schooler!!" and analysts going "hold up, let's not write him off yet"    I personally need to see the Chiefs game be the start of growth before getting hopeful.  Ideally would like to see 1-2 300yd multi td games.  Then I'd expect the entire off season to fix his footwork.  With his physical limitations that footwork needs to be damn near perfect.  I would still bring in competition at the QB spot even in that scenario.
