  1. How easy do you think it is to be an NFL kicker? I think about it all the time.

    Back in New Orleans we had a guy on our team who apprenticed at Arsenal. His right leg was super powerful. He was coaching a local high school team and saw the FG kicker practicing, so he jumped in. Hit a 65 yarder with no problem. The coach was impressed and put both lines out there.. and once the whistle blew and the line was coming at him, he couldn't make anything.

    Now if you are already kicking and are used to the pressure of the line, make or break, then it would be great.... except the pressure would be intense.

    ;)

  2. start in New York and finish in Los Angeles with stops in DC, Miami, Orlando, New Orleans, Texas, Vegas, San Diego amongst others.

    WOW! I'm jealous.

    New York - great place. Loved it when I lived two hours away.

    DC- Spy Museum - I really loved this place. Underrated, but lots of cool stuff. You may not be a baseball fan, but check out the Nationals if you can. Team of the FUTURE!

    Miami - I assume South Beach is on the agenda. Nuff said.

    Orlando - bit touristy for me, but should be fun.

    NOLA - Party capital of the world. Of course hit Pat O'Briens, but Cats Meow is a local hangout in the Quarter that is a lot of fun.

    Houston or Dallas or both?

    San Diego - Always on my list of places to go.

    LA - Never been, but should be awesome.

    If you have time Nashville is a pretty nice place, and more than just country music.

    Chicago - haven't been, but would like to.

    Seattle - very pretty.

  3. What's the rest of the trip?

    One thing about New Orleans, stay on the beaten path, especially in the French Quarter. If you think you see a short cut on a dark alley, go another way. Stay with the crowds.

    if someone, street urchin says "Betcha I can tell you where you got your shoes at." The proper answer is "On my feet."

    If you like to tip Live street music, keep some change/ small bills in your pocket. Do not go for your wallet. Or just put a sign on your back "Pickpockets Here I am"

    Restaurants - so many great places to go, but Drago's a place the locals love. The owners are friends of mine, and we used to have our fantasy football draft at his original location in Metairie. He would serve us fries, onion rings, soft drinks, and CALAMARI for $5.00 per person. It was amazing.

    if you need any tips, feel free to ask.

  4. Iv never seen him play so I can't comment on him. But they say he is faster and stringer thsn JPP.

    I was hoping for Mingo or Sam Montgomery who are both from LSU but both will be gone by 19

    I hope Mingo is drafted by the Saints at #15, but I've heard he could be gone closer to #12.

  5. probably go with the saints and see how it goes

    September seems to be an awfull long time away to start a season, was hoping to see a game when iam over there in May. No chance of that happening

    Welcome to the team.

    Are you going to NOLA in May?

    Well just eat like you have never eaten before... make sure you hit Drago's Restaurant.

  6. Saints needs - pass rush. Cam Jordan looks like he will be very good, but we need a serious pass rush.

    Linebackers - moving to the 3-4, we'll need to upgrade the LB's.

    Corners - I love Jabari Greer, but I think he's back as a nickel, would like a big corner

    safeties - Malcolm Jenkins is hit or miss, with mostly miss. Maybe he should go back to corner where he did so well. Roman Harper - have to keep him around, but hope new DC can use him better.

    Probably need to drop an OL, WR, and maybe another TE.

    Would love to get Ed Reed as a free agent signing, come home Ed, come home.

    Jacoby Jones - yeah, same thing. Come home Jacoby, come home...

  7. I'm curious, does the sport get much exposure in places like Alabama and Louisiana? I know it's quite big in Nashville, do the surrounding areas back the Predators a lot? I was also quite disappointed when the Thrashers left purely because I hate seeing teams relocate.

    New Orleans had an ECHL team back in the 90's. I was PA announcer for 9 games. Team drew well, and then they got the Hornets NBA team and that hurt attendance. Lafayette's Ice Gators were one of the top attendance teams in the league for a long time, averaged about 9,000 a game.

    I'm just outside of Huntsville, Hockey Capital of the South. University of Huntsville has been playing hockey for 30 years or more, We get Preds games on Fox TN. A lot of hockey fans in the area.

  8. Growing up in New Orleans, I started watching hockey when we got cable tv in the early 80's. I started watching the Islanders when I came home from working for Wendy's. They would replay the games around midnight or 2 AM, which was when I was getting home.

    They ended up winning 3 or 4 Stanley Cups in a row, but I then added the Washington Capitals .. and when we stopped getting Isles games, and I stopped working late nights I just went Caps all the way.

    Got to see the Caps play in DC 3 or 4 times, plus in Nashville, NJ, and Boston. Was upset with the Thrashers moving, because now that I live in Alabama, it was an easy 4 hour drive

    ;)

    But now the Predators are 90 minutes away, so they are the new 2nd team.

    Columbus is where my son goes to school, so I can catch them too if I visit.

  9. As some of you may already have seen Falkirk TV have produced a short video of just some of the highlights from last season, which will remind viewers of how good it can feel to be a Falkirk fan.

    The video is hosted on YouTube so please share the link with friends and family and help spread the word...

    Click here to watch

    THAT was so cool. Wish I lived in Falkirk to experience that support.

  10. This is what Scottish football has come to, a half empty stadium watching a bunch of girls doing an experimental dance routines. Christ on a bike.

    That was quite sad.

    Should have given them all red cards for removing their shirts and having a t-shirt underneath.

    I hope the music at the stadium was better, but it was just awful.
