Please Settle OUR Score

- Not because Reggie Bush is buddies with CP3.
- Not because Mr. Benson was kind enough to attend a game with Mr. Shinn.
- Not because Our New Orleans Hornets passed out gold shirts with Fleur de BEES on them for all to wear last night at the playoff game so they would look (and feel) like Saints fans.
- Not because Aaron Neville sang the National Anthem and sat with the same Mr. Shinn last night.

Mayor, Saints owner to negotiate at season's endOctober 17, 2005
SAN ANTONIO
-- Mayor Phil Hardberger reiterated his resolve to bring the Saints to San Antonio permanently, saying he wanted to close the deal before next season begins.
Hardberger, while part of a sellout crowd to watch the Saints-Falcons game Sunday in San Antonio, said Saints owner Tom Benson agreed to serious talks with him, probably at the end of this season.
Benson "understands that we will sit down and talk," Hardberger said in a story in Monday's San Antonio Express-News.
"That is his desire as well. I'm pretty comfortable in saying he wants to be here." Attempts to reach Benson by telephone Monday were not successful. Greg Bensel, team spokesman, declined comment.
The Saints are under contract to play at the Louisiana Superdome through 2010 but certain provisions allow them to opt out before a Nov. 29 deadline.
Gov. Rick Perry watched Sunday's game with Hardberger from Benson's suite and said he agrees the Saints should relocate to the Alamo City and is open to the state offering some type of financial assistance.
Hurricane Katrina damage to the Superdome prompted the Saints to practice in San Antonio and play three games in the city's 65,000-seat
Alamodome. Four other games were moved to Baton Rouge, La., where ticket sales have been sluggish.

Beautiful Noise
Many New Orleanians will be at the JazzFest on the historic Fairgrounds, the home of horse racing in Our Country dating back almost 200 years.
Saturday, late afternoon, the horses will make the run for the Kentucky Derby. It has been raining in Lexington. The track will be sloppy. This rules out some of the outside horses because they will have to run exponentially harder to make up ground on the horses with the inside route.
The favorite most praised over the past week is way, way out there.
Some have been questioning the horse most local folk like, Pyro, due to the poor showing last time out. Well, do not count Pyro out so easily as Pyro is running as the number 9 horse.
As for me, I like a certain local jockey on a certain local trainer's horse in Z-number 6 position.
Look for a reasonable surprise for tomorrow.
No Big Brown.
Z Fortune has a shot to give Robby Albarado his first Kentucky Derby.
Picks................................................................................................
Win: 6 Z Fortune 15-1
Place: 10 Colonel John 4-1
Show: 9 Pyro 6-1
Super: 18 Recapturetheglory 20-1

Ill be what I am
A solitary man
Solitary man"

Post Draft Hype
I can't understand the use of a draft choice on a kicker.
A KICKER.
Why not draft a LunchLady?
Okay, okay. Look at what the draft brought us last year. Only Usama.
Let's get beyond the draft....
beyond what we hope for....
How about an awesome reality?
