Just thought of something, will the Saints be playing? They have a game
scheduled in just over a week at Caroline then a "home" game on the 18th. Anybody know where their HQ is physically located & can they even operate? Don't take this wrong, I'm not minimizing the obvious ongoing tragedy but I'm an NFL fan and was just wondering.

1. I heard somewhere today that they'd be playing out of
San Antonio until they can get back to NO.

3. Don't know about the Saints, but...
I heard that Tulane University has transfered their F-ball games to SMU in Dallas as well as many students.

4. they dont know yet

Displaced by the fury of Hurricane Katrina, the New Orleans Saints will set up shop, at least temporarily, in San Antonio for a second straight year. Where the franchise will play what now appears likely to be a home-away-from-home regular-season schedule, though, has yet to be determined.

"All options are under consideration," Saints director of media relations Greg Bensel said about where New Orleans might play its home games. "It's all on the table and there will continue to be discussions. But, for now, nothing is decided."

What the team does know is that it will practice in San Antonio for the foreseeable future. The Saints will fly to San Antonio following Thursday night's preseason finale against the Oakland Raiders, will be reunited there with their families, and begin preparations for the Sept. 11 season opener at Carolina. The Saints have spent this week practicing in San Jose, Calif.

5. Could they play water polo with a football?
Maybe a game against the Dolphins. OK, a little dark humor there. Sorry about that.

7. San Antonio is furiously trying to pull off a Coup and land the team.
Got ourselves a new Mayor that does these covert little things.
