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

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      How about just don't draft project players in the first round? How about especially when you have arguably the worst roster in the NFL(we did all those years in question)? You don't even have to dig into those player debates specifically. Just don't grasp at straws early in the draft.

      Week 6 PFF grades vs. DAL

      By AU-panther · Posted

      I think there were 9, and since I haven't took time to watch each of them on each play individually Its impossible for me to say, which I doubt you have either.   It's not a stat driven grading system; it's a per play grading system.  Tommy Tremble making a great block to spring Rico for that 10-yard run might actually score higher on that play then Ricos run. The actual run might not be anything special; it might be a run that pretty much every back in the league would have made. Here again, I would guess, if you look at every RB in the league, he is towards the top in rushing grade for the year which is what most of us are seeing.  Whether you call that a 90/80/70, 50/40/30, A/B/C, Gold/Green/Red star, it doesn't really matter it's how he ranks relative to everybody else at his position.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By strato · Posted

      Well I will never knock a strong arm, in a vacuum, but it is a lot more than that to it.  Did we kill our roster building and our defense in particular to stick PJ out there?  No. We knew we sucked and he was really just a temporary thing too.  While with Bryce I see the up and down, mostly down, roller coaster on loop now in year three. It has been a Looooong time.    Back to strong arms, it is like having a powerful motor in a car. All the power in the world isn’t going to overcome a bad driver.   But at the same time, even a decent drive with a killer car will beat the best driver if you put him in a go kart   Exaggerating for effect, I know Bryce is not a go kart. Maybe closer to a 6 cylinder with not much displacement…..
