A serious woman with seriously un-television-like hair appeared on the flat screen above the lobby bar at the New Orleans hotel Sunday night, and all the customers stopped talking. The subject was not the Saints, who a few hours earlier had rallied to beat the Carolina Panthers. It was Hurricane Ida.
Although Ida was heading into the Gulf, the storm was expected to veer east and miss New Orleans. But after Katrina, many visitors, as well as the residents working in the bar, are predictably wary.
In the concierge lounge at the same hotel Monday morning, patrons were transfixed by the televised weather reports.
Some worried aloud about the status of their flights.
Some of us did not.
Tom" In my opinion Jake suffers from the right rear mirror syndrome (objects in mirror are closed than they appear) causing him to overthrow receivers. P.S. I am not an ophthalmologist.

If Jake is the leader he claims to be and cares about the team he would ask Coach Fox to bench him. The panthers cannot continue with 10 vs 11. Jake is a liability, the whole league knows they can stack the line and stop the run. The panthers don't pass because they know Jake will probably make the errant pass or fumble. We cannot develop any receivers when you have a QB that cannot get them the ball.
