Katrina actually helped out the superdome.

It was old and needed to be updated. The NO Saints owner wanted a new stadium. The dome has now been updated and it was probably paid for by our tax dollars.

I bet you can't wait until he moves to San Antonio eh? Hence my reference earlier to the Superdome being permanent housing later on.

I don't really care where the Saints play. I like to go to NO every other year for the Tulane vs MS State college football game played in the superdome.

Bourbon St. is a good time every couple of years.

Yep, I saw it. Too bad she didn't show off her pole skills.

I just love how much attention they give towards Katrina. A hurricane hits a city built below sea level and no attention paid so far to the towns and communities in Mississippi and Alabama tonight that I've seen. Not to mention Rita which came almost a month (and was stronger than Katrina) afterwards that hit the eastern border of Texas and the western border of Louisiana.

But because it's New Orleans....

A telethon. Wow. $5000 from Dunn. Hell, he should win a Nobel prize or something.

Dunn probably contributes more to charity than any other NFL player. That much from many NFL players is a lot.

that's like me giving $200. whoopeedeedooda

ESPN, this crossed WAY over the line.

I guess they thought we were all going to be holding candles or something. I wonder how many of them live in the Houston area? ROFLMAO

I could tell them about Katrina refugees as could most people in the Houston area. It's not as pleasant as they want it to be.

rally the troops!

ESPN isn't listed in the toll free directory. Anybody have a number/e-mail so we can slam them on this?

i tried 800 directory assistance. No listing. No way can they not be hammered for this crap.
