I may be rash in this statement. But this game was not about you. It wasn't about Ashey. It wasn't about Dom, or anyone here. It wasn't even about me, and I was affected by both Katrina and Rita. This was a celebration for those that were affected heavily by the storms. So that they can have something to be excited about, to cheer for, to have hope in.

Now, I may be wrong. However, from the people that I know from New Orleans, this is a good thing. This is good for the people and for the city. What do the people that you know from New Orleans think?

My friend moved from Kenner to Houma to Austin after the storms. He's elated about the Saints win last night and told me my Cowboys better watch out come November.

Due to my promotion, New Orleans has found itself on the list of possible future assignments.

I have no idea how to feel about that.

I hope you have bulletproof clothing.

I was hoping you'd chime in. You're the only other person I know of that knows people from these parts.

I got a call from my BIL last night from Georgetown (just north of Austin). He and my wife's sister were at a local sports bar enjoying the hell out of the game. He's a Chriopractor and Katrina ran him out of Kenner and completely destroyed the Chrio office he worked at in Metarie. After almost a year in Houma with his folks, he and his wife decided to leave his lifelong roots of Louisiana and move to the Austin area to open his own Chrio office.

He misses home and the Cajun ways but sees a much better business opportunity in Texas and is just plum tired of hurricane evacuations and all the crap that goes with it. And all truth be told, his wife would rather live in Texas than Louisiana.

He's much more of an LSU Tiger fan but he was on cloud nine with the Saints performance last night.

I love New Orleans. I've loved every minute I've spent there, even the hungover-drunk-puking time spent in hotel bathrooms. But I'd never live there.

He loves New Orleans as well but he's very tired of the trash, problems and pitiful mentality that is all part of New Orleans.

Houma is his home but he spent the last few years in Kenner.

yeah, I wouldn't mind living around NOLA. BR isn't too bad, but the schools suck here, and my job prospects aren't great. LSU would probably be my best shot at employment here, so I have to start getting ready for the move on to somewhere else...meaning one of these weekends, I'm going to have to go to NOLA and get completely shitfaced.

SIL and her boyfriend are coming down between Xmas and New Year's, and he wants to go to NOLA for new year's eve. That might be the night.

I'm so glad I had the pleasure of partying in the French Qtr for three or four visits before Katrina made her impact. My wife, friends and I have had some of our best times there.

We were down there drinking in March. Used to be you'd walk down the street and could have your fill of people tossing beads off balconies and chicks flashing. Not even during Mardi Gras...anytime of year. But in March, there was 1 girl. One. That's it. Something changed. I hope it has changed back by New Years. Cuz I've got a lot of beads I need to get rid of.

Nah I moved away when I was 18. What happened?

[shemadagaswer]

Nah I moved away when I was 18. What happened?

First this...... http://www.savecrazyray.com/articles.asp?id=297

What happened? Contrary to popular belief, Crazy Ray was never paid by the Cowboys. Even when he shows up at the games now, he gets a special place to park and all access to the stadium – but those don’t pay the bills.

The biggest hit on their income and finances came when their only child began using them to support a drug habit. She would purchase things in their name – then hock them to buy drugs. Despite their pleas for her to get help, she took Ray and Mattie down with her. She convinced Ray and Mattie to file bankruptcy telling them that “everything would turn out fine”. Matters couldn’t have gotten any worse when their daughter was found dead from an overdose.

Financially and emotionally bankrupt, Ray and Mattie then went through bouts of health problems including Ray’s diabetes, leg amputation, glaucoma, 5 bypasses and multiple stints. Mattie has had her share of bypasses, stints and heart surgery as well.

Up until 6 weeks ago, Ray would drive his scooter across Interstate 30 to the local Wal-Mart. He would fold balloons for tips – and those tips covered some of their bills. One day, while driving his scooter back from Wal-Mart, Ray suffered a stoke. He was instantly confused as he lost his sight and had to be driven home by a stranger. The doctors are vague about the prognosis of his eyes. Without his eyes, he can no longer fold balloons - so he feels that he can no longer entertain.

And then this just recently....... http://www.wfaa.com/sharedcontent/dw...1.3e7a7dd.html

Wilford "Crazy Ray" Jones, the man who entertained decades of football fans as the Dallas Cowboys' chaps-and-boots-clad mascot, has suffered another in a string of recent setbacks: Someone stole his car with his motorized scooter lift inside.
