The slide guitarist wearing glasses is Louisiana treasure, Sonny Landreth. Below is a fun version of an old blues classic that I stumbled across while looking for a live version of Landreth's Creole Angel. Sonny is finally receiving a little recognition but he's still largely the best guitarist no one ever heard of. Enjoy.
Sorry, Saints -- you're the weekend's lone upset
Sports Illustrated's Don Banks has the Saints rated as the 8th best team of the 8 playoff teams:
8) New Orleans -- Any way you cut it, three straight losses to enter the playoffs is your textbook case of reverse momentum. Time to get it cranked back up in the Superdome, but can the Saints do it?
Not getting much love from CBS-Sportsline, either.
Unless there's a late comeback, it looks to me like the Saints are going to lose the opinion game. Damn. Maybe I'll go to the movies Saturday afternoon. Yeah, right.
