City Park - November 29, 2007 Issue

It was another gorgeous day in City Park yesterday. Couldn't resist taking out the camera.

City Park - New Orleans, LA - November 28, 2007Reminds me of long division problems from my school days.


Tad Gormley Stadium - City Park - New Orleans, LA - November 28, 2007Saw my first NFL game here. It was 1965 or 1966 and I believe it was just called City Park Stadium then. It was an exhibition game featuring the St Louis Cardinals versus the Baltimore Colts. Both teams have moved since. Dad took me and he was a big LSU Tiger fan. Former Tiger, Jerry Stovall, played cornerback for the Cardinals so we were cheering for them. That Unitas fellow for the Colts had other ideas. I don't remember much except that the Colts wore blue. I had always seen them in white on TV. Johnny Unitas wore his high top cleats and I'm not sure he missed a pass. The Cardinals intercepted a pass near the Colts goal line late in the game and ran it in for a touchdown. The Colts won, 22-10. I can't find any box scores or accounts of that game. Wonder if they exist somewhere.

Did anyone notice that Ted on How I Met Your Mother was wearing a New Orleans Saints t-shirt in one scene on Monday night's episode (The Yips)? You can watch the episode on their website if you like. Good on you, Ted.

Quote of the Day

Is it going to be a Jeff Garcia game plan? Well, if Garcia plays, then it will be. But if Jeff doesn't play, then what do you prepare for? I think keeping it a little unsure can be a good thing strategically from our standpoint.
