Pro Football Weekly on TV is in its 22nd season in syndication. The Chicago-based show airs weekly throughout the NFL season and features analysis from PFW publisher/editor Hub Arkush, NFL Hall of Famer Dan Hampton and former Bears receiver Tom Waddle.
(Thank to Glenn Davis at Sports Grid for the tip)
During the show close this week, the panelists were supposed to give their prediction for the NFL’s Week 1 Minnesota Vikings-New Orleans Saints game.
Hampton though, never got to the Saints.
“If you watched that playoff game last year the Vikings need to hit that town like Katrina. I think the Vikings go down there and get it down.”
Hit that town? Everyone screws up and if you read this site, you know I’m anything but politically correct.
But that’s beyond an innocent slip of the tongue.
Don’t know what’s worse: Hampton saying what he said or the show’s producers not re-shooting that segment before the show was sent out to affiliates. (Or re-sent if it was fed live - to prevent Hampton’s comments from airing.)
This is the second time Hampton has said something really inappropriate on the show, but I don’t expect anything will be done unless the stations taking the show squawk about it.
Arkush can do what he wants with his show but with Hampton’s track record, he may not have a show before too long if Hampton keeps this up.

Dude had a daily radio show for a year or so, can hardly get a coherent sentence out, stutters more than Stuttering John. No surprise, Hub is real loyal, that’s the only reason he’s still on the show.

I remember seeing a sign in the crowd during Bears/Saints NFC title game 3 seasons ago which said “The Bears will finish what Katrina started”. As a native New Orleanian, I was truly appalled at that statement. Stay classy Chicago…no wonder the Cubs & Sox (until the last 5 years) have sucked so badly for so long!! Pitiful excuse for human beings.
5:55 pm on September 5th, 2010
A sign however inappropriate didn’t do any damage. Reserve your irritation for the corrupt and awful local leaders who sat by for decades while the liberal policies plunged people into poverty and ignored evidence that the area was seriously unsafe. The idiots in your area elected a new mayor whose family has presided over the corruption and poverty for a long time. One of your senators is his brother. The Landrieau family. Wake up.
6:22 pm on September 5th, 2010
Fucking Danimal. The guy is a breath of fresh air in an industry packed with toadies and ass-kissers.
6:30 pm on September 5th, 2010
Maybe he has said worse but they never aired it.
8:36 pm on September 5th, 2010
why do scrubs gotta make everything a political thing. U prolly don’t get laid much do u? @back off
8:40 pm on September 5th, 2010
The Saints will not be so lucky this time around like in the NFC Championship game they had no business winning. That pissed off Vikings team & starting defense will again be to much for the Saints!
8:42 pm on September 5th, 2010
That sess pool of a city needs to be gone, maybe next time
8:55 pm on September 5th, 2010
Also, to all you fishbowl dwellers.. Quit your crying ya little baby’s! You had a Super Bowl handed to you on a silver platter and didn’t deserve it! The way the Vikings dominated those Saints, the best team in football was not the superbowl champions! Also, I don’t feel one bit sorry for Katrina, what do you expect living in a city below sea level fools…
9:12 pm on September 5th, 2010
All those dark complected degenerates in New Orleans wanna cry about Katrina and play the race card. Get OFF your lazy asses and do something for YOURSELFS!!!!! Now about the game, Brees had the nerve to say the hits on Farve were good hits! Really? So the 25000 in fines from the NFL were wrong? I hope Allen and Co. cripple Brees and I hope the hit is so late that the Aints defence is already on the field when it happens you beotch.
9:15 pm on September 5th, 2010
We need some more politically incorrect speech, let it happen, be a corrective influence in the pc craziness we’re under in America.
9:20 pm on September 5th, 2010
Hes taken way too many shots to the head during his playing days and now it shows.
9:26 pm on September 5th, 2010
For the total trash talking jerks who think New Orleans deserves to drown…particularly the idiots from the Northern U.S….if it weren’t for New Orleans & Louisiana your sorry behinds would be freezing in the winter…it’s called natural gas & if you think you will be just fine without it , then by all means let us know so we can cut you off. Oh, let us not forget…If Los Angeles or New York or Chicago have a massive earthquake….which they all are overdue for….we’re not talking about rescueing 1.5 million on the Gulf coast like in “Katrina”…we’re talking “9.5 million in Los Angeles County….3-4 million in Chicago, 10-11 million in New York and surrounding areas which should clearly tell even the greatest ignorant dumbass….that our government response is going to make “Katrina” look like an overwhelming success by comparison. Nearly, 1,400 people died between New Orleans & Miss. Gulf coast and “hundreds” are still missing. Perhaps, hundreds of thousands would be more to your liking…stayed tuned Chicago, Los Angeles, New York and any other city who believes they are immuned from Mother Natures wrath.
9:27 pm on September 5th, 2010
u people need to learn how to spell. its also funny how Jay is telling us not to cry, yet he still is. WaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaH!!!!!!!
9:41 pm on September 5th, 2010
To f$&@ Chicago
Thanks for the generalization of Chicagoans. I guess if I did the same then it would mean that all people from New Orleans are fat, uneducated, lazy and all they do is drink and yell “Who Dat?!?” all day long.
9:43 pm on September 5th, 2010
S.t Charles, are you serious?! Natural gas?! Who the hell uses natural gas?! A lot of Northerners use Electric and oil heaters. So, you can keep your sorry a** natural gas. I don’t agree with the ignorant people saying New Orleans deserves to drown. But, reading your dumb a** comment makes you sound just as bad as them.
9:43 pm on September 5th, 2010
I’m glad new orleans is doing better. It’s a shame that a natural disaster supported by the poverty and ass backward socially liberal policies and obama type of attitude were made to attempt to paint it as a minority rights issue. All that misplaced spike lee and al sharpton radical race mongering was a foreshadowing of the pelosi Obama agenda and blame game. The people - no matter the color - deserved and hugely received emotional and $$$$ support. Note that the left tried to cover up the horrible poverty they’d presided over after the storm and flood. It’s why ACORN and others were allowed loot taxpayer dollars for zero public good and private gain. Mississippi and recently Nashville recovered twice to three times as fast.
9:46 pm on September 5th, 2010
funny thing is that even after katrina, NO is still a much nicer place then that hellhole chicago is. traffic jams everywhere, crappy weather, gangs out of control as usual.
9:58 pm on September 5th, 2010
You people are too hard core. Calm down, that kind of talk is what keeps the USA tops on the most hated country in the world list. It also keeps the people from having any power over the government. United we stand divided we fall!!!!!!
10:01 pm on September 5th, 2010
Oh come on now! This is being taken totally out of context. Whats wrong with people. This is football, apparently everyone is so PC, its really unfortunate this has become an issue! Damn folks!
10:02 pm on September 5th, 2010
Gonna kick ass Thursday night. Good night lucky S-AINTS!
10:06 pm on September 5th, 2010
What is the biggest statistic in football that determines what team wins 95% of the time? TURNOVERS
That is what the Vikings did they turned the ball over and the Saints took advantage, scored points and won the game. Hey thanks for setting us up in great field position. You ca move the ball all you want but it means nothing if you don’t score. Hell the Saints two years ago threw for over 500 yards passing and over 100 yards rushing against the Racens defence but lost the game WHY? TURNOVER seven in the game. Were the Saints the best team that day NO They lost that all that matters.
As for Thursday night you’ll see a much better Saints team then you did last year.
10:09 pm on September 5th, 2010
BIG DEAL!
10:12 pm on September 5th, 2010
Really, with all thats going on in this country, we really need to focus on what Dan Hampton says. The people in this country have turned into hypersensitive P@##y’s.
10:13 pm on September 5th, 2010
as someone w/ white skin, all you despicable pieces of dog$h!t will one day pay for the scum $h!t in your pathetic “souls” & only embarrass REAL Americans who aren’t motherf**king retards like you bags of douche. too bad none of you gutless punks have found at least one nut to say this disgusting bull$h!t to anyones’ face ’cause if you said it to mine, i’d wipe you off the face of MY country and MY planet in a minute flat.
this dip$h!t retard Hampton shouldn’t be in the HOF. what; we did ok as a d-lineman for a team that won ONE championship? f**k the bears and f**k the Vikings. that crybaby B***H Favre will go cry home empty handed this year as well, regardless of what Minnesota does early in the regular season. that team has done nothing but be chokers of the highest caliber for the last DECADE, even more than the Indy Dolts, the overrated team they are (yeah, the Vikes wouldn’t have beaten them, BUT THE SAINTS DID, and i’m not even from NO!), because at least the Dolts have ONE SB title in recent yrs!
i liked the Vikes, but grew tired of being embarrassed by them, the chokers they are, so f**k that team and f**k that city.
oh, yeah, “f**k all you brainless, nutless scum as well”.
10:13 pm on September 5th, 2010
You guys are a disgrace to the human race. Ignorant bigoted and hateful. You spew hatred for 1.5 million humans for ignorant misconceptions and then try paint yourself as superior. Disgusting. You need to do some praying. I feel sorry for you.
10:16 pm on September 5th, 2010
Enough with the politically correct crap. There was nothing wrong with what he said. People need to get over themselves and stop crying to mommy.
10:18 pm on September 5th, 2010
Hey St. Charles…You Discovery Channel Fanatic,,,Dont you know that its Impossible for New York and Chicago to have earthquakes. The movie ‘2012″ punked you out didnt it? How
come no one has mentioned that the “BP Disaster” was caused by a crazed football fan Oil Reg worker who wanted to get revenge on New Orleans Saints for Winning the Super Bowl… At least this statement has merit. GO Breeze,,,,from
San Diego,…Once a charger…always a charger….
10:21 pm on September 5th, 2010
LOL Josh Josh Josh… Ya killing me.. Where do you think the electricity comes from??? Lightning bolts??? Obama’s wind farms??? LOL no. no it comes from power plants that burn either Natural gas, or coal… So to steal a phrase from your comments “But, reading your dumb a** comment makes you sound just as bad as them.”
10:24 pm on September 5th, 2010
…oh, yeah, and anyone who makes fun of how a disaster & crap planning by city management, the cheap f**ks they usually are, destroyed peoples’ lives should suffer even worse than those people did.
how shameful the disgust from you despicable people. you better pray you don’t f**k up and say some $h!t like this in front of me, like i said, ’cause i’ll laugh the whole time i’m making you suffer by my hand.
did i mention that Dip$h!t Ham-ton-of dung should be kissing the hairy @$$ of his defensive teammates for making him look better than he is? if they hadn’t won that SB, no one would give a f**k about any of them other than Singletary & Peyton, despite that retard coach spitting on Walter’s career and all he did for that team by allowing the Fridge to score. f**k Chicago, they don’t even know how to treat their own people, except for MJ.
what a punk old b***h, and that’s exactly what i’d say to your old @$$ face. that and, “STFU, retard”.
10:24 pm on September 5th, 2010
as for the classless comments made by dan, this station needs aface lift and aattitude change, sad ..sad… as for minn chances they will fade after first game and the bears will get a taste of our defense. dan you can eat your words then boy! …and as for your katrina remark,,, sad sad ,,,saaad you child wanna be grow up i wont listen to this program again !!!!
10:25 pm on September 5th, 2010
Honestly, I don’t find anything offensive about what he said. He was articulating how the games would turn out, in his own opinion, in ways that people who do not watch the games, but end up reading this article, would understand.
10:26 pm on September 5th, 2010
So what exactly did he say that was inappropriate? “Hit that town like Katrina?” Big deal. It is called a figure of speech and Katrina is widely known to refer to utter destruction. Would it be better to go down there and kill them? The Vikings are going to turn the Saints into martyrs? Slaughter the Saints?
In this world where we have to change the names of teams like the Bullets into Wizards and Rebels into whatever and people are suing because of the Redskins’ name - all in the name of political correctness - we cannot even use the name of a devastating hurricane to describe the destruction that a team is going to bring to another.
Get a job and report some real news!!
10:28 pm on September 5th, 2010
jesus f**k. i’m just amazed at how easily the laughable ignorance spews out your $h!t-eating mouths because your stupid @$$ brain & mouth don’t have a filter. if you were smarter, which is a f**king pipe dream for most of you IDIOTS (no; nominal mastery of English does not make you smart, you idiots), you’d be embarrassed.
too bad for your families, and Ham-ton-of-dung’s, that you aren’t that smart and will just continue being embarrassments.
10:34 pm on September 5th, 2010
it’s only a big deal because he’s white……. Katrina is thought of as a black disaster……..who doesn’t know that
10:42 pm on September 5th, 2010
Funny to me is that these same people that defend Hampton would be the same fuckers bitching if he said “blow up like the World Trade Center!” Multitudes of people dying is something not to play with. I never hear Colombine references, OKC bombing references, nor WTC references when people are talking about sports. Why not since its ok with y’all?
10:44 pm on September 5th, 2010
I don’t see what’s so wrong about the comment. Yeah, it’s edgey, provocative, but come on. Are we really so sensitive that it is unacceptable rather than risque?
For those of you who do not understand the importance of NO to the nation… Huge amounts of frieght move up and down the MS River and it’s tributaries (the MO, OH, TN, AR…). Large freight moving ships cannot operate on the MS so almost all the freight going up and down the MS is off loaded and reloaded on different ships at NO. NO is vital to the commerce of the US.
10:45 pm on September 5th, 2010
I completely agree, Extinct, that New Orleans is vitally important to our economy. I also understand the pleas of those ravaged by Hurricane Katrina. But, I do not understand how the comments made by the actual newsman (NOT by the previous posters) reflect the hate for, political party of, or ignorance of an American. Yes, we each have different beliefs as unique as each indivual DNA, but can’t we agree that we all here in this beautiful country have the freedom of speech? Those who reject others are destroying our country by denying our Bill of Rights. Flame me if you will, but I agree (not on the the political grounds that have abounded, but on the bounds of the article) that Hampton was not morally incorrect making the comments that he has, based on our freedom of speech. (Wow, I haven’t spent this much time on a sports new article in a long time, but the comments are ridiculous.)
10:48 pm on September 5th, 2010
…yeah, retards like Larry. f**k the Redskins; that has got to be the lamest mascot in the history of professional sports, and only partly because of the offensive nature! comparing apples to freakin’ oranges is stupid, and you look like an @$$hat. wait; are you that old fart Dan’s older brother?
there’s a huge difference between talking smack or giving an example and being a piece of $h!t; too bad most of you don’t have a CLUE where that line is. if this idiot commentator can’t figure out how to do his freakin’ job well and is only as “good” as THAT comment, than anone who listens to a word he says is really just dumb. idk why he’s even on, it’s not like defensive lineman are known for their intellect and quick wit anyway; that show he is on must be really full of stupid people if this douche is their representative.
how about, say, some dip$h!t commmentator saying, “yeah, that CB covered that WR like oil on a crane in the Gulf”, or, “yeah, that offensive line got ran through quicker than cum through a Palin”? it’s called TACKY, you morons, figure it out; despite the fact that these examples are more realistic and better than this dumbf**k’s.
it wasn’t even Katrina that “destroyed” NO, you idiots, it was the levee.
10:55 pm on September 5th, 2010
who cares what they said they are just talking trash, aww what did your feelings get hurt… suck it up, and get over it
10:59 pm on September 5th, 2010
who cares what they said.. they are just talking trash. im sure all of you people have talked plenty of that. awww did your feelings get hurt… suck it up! jesus people are such cry babys now a days
11:01 pm on September 5th, 2010
IF THAT HURTS UR A WEAK BITCH
11:03 pm on September 5th, 2010
Ya know betrdanu u are the ignorant one… do u eat with that mouth… can u not make a point without being so foul mouthed… are u that uneducated? Really?
11:07 pm on September 5th, 2010
my god people get over it, too many people are too sensitive about things that don’t concern them or are ancient history. the only reason this is in the news is because some media person saw chance to get their name showcased a little (as usual).yes it was bad what happened but many of the victims caused alot of their own problems…remember the looters? hell they had 4 to 5 days warning,many decided to go back after the media declared new orleans would not suffer a direct hit,so stupid.those got what they deserved. this comment is nothing more than a way to emphasize how bad a beating a footballt team is going to get…big friggin whooop.get a life …get over it and keep your nose tending to your own problems. by the way i feel new orleans should have been leveled and rebuilt and lock up the thugs and hoodlums that crawl the streets and run the city. then maybe they’ll ahve something to be proud of. the looters should have been shot and left in the street as an example to the vermin stealing tv’s computers and cars and such. GET OVER IT
11:08 pm on September 5th, 2010
Darren is 100% correct! Has all of America become a bunch of Wussies(Wussy, when you cross a wimp and a #@sy)? Everyone is so OOOfended by everything. We said worse things about the opposing teams in Pop Warner and High School! You should get upset with the federal government still paying for over 230 Katrina refugees still living at the Scottsdale TPC, Dove Mountain, Vetana Canyon and El Conquistidor Resorts in Arizona at over $400 a day per person with all meals paid and free golf!
11:33 pm on September 5th, 2010
It was half a Democrat cesspool failure of poverty and third world conditions before the flood. Everyone knows it. It’s not a race issue. It’s a political issue. Obama has adopted EXACTLY the same policies that plunged Poverty Orleans into its readymade disaster state.
11:36 pm on September 5th, 2010
The real reason the Saints won last year was because the refs had their whistles up their ass.The Saints were going to win regardless.How many late hits were made on Farve that were”nt called?I hope they have a different crew this time around.
11:38 pm on September 5th, 2010
When it comes to New Orleans, it was about time God finally flushed the toilet.People knew several days in advance that Katrina was coming and they were too lazy to leave or they were waiting for the government to come lead them out of town like the pied piper of Hamlin. Oh yeah, I forgot, it was Bush and the white people’s fault it happened in the first place.
11:43 pm on September 5th, 2010
this is truly an example of utter stupidity! football is certainly a brutal and taxing sport, i know i played. however it is not the the be-all, end all in life; only the wanna-be never could and has bens talk so much shit! hampton and all the other idiots are wrong! people that believe the propaganga that has been taught as true history are cowards afraid to look at themselves for who they are. the world hates america for one reason -they are pretenous and try to rewrite history with lies. there is something to be said about civility and intelligence,when you think deeper you will get it, until then you will continue this useless and idiotic chatter. evolve please your boring!
11:49 pm on September 5th, 2010
Sure, there will be some fallout from this, but its will all blow(oops) over.
12:03 am on September 6th, 2010
Geez - will Katrina ever die? Five years later - for crying out loud - do something productive - Move on.
12:07 am on September 6th, 2010
It’s true, the whole rest of the world could be levelled with earthquakes and USA would still be talking only about Katrina.. navel gazers..
12:09 am on September 6th, 2010
The Sun could go supernova, and what you would hear in the US just before the Earth was burnt up is some cries about Katrina.
12:30 am on September 6th, 2010
What the people of New Orleans need to do is to quit spending the money the taxpayers gave them and the millions that the government handed to them without making sure they repaired their homes,on the casinos.After the hurricain the casinos said they doubled their take from 10million to 20million.
12:33 am on September 6th, 2010
get over it; how long is NO going to play the sympathy card.The people of Mn and other states kicked in pleanty for Katrenia. Move on, bend over and grab your ankles Saints. Your backside is going to bleed purple.
12:35 am on September 6th, 2010
For all of you idiots that think all of the people from New Orleans, Louisiana are loosers and think that Katrina should have wiped the city out, I would watch what you say because it will come back on you 100 times worse. I was born and raised in Louisiana and those people there will curse you, your family and generations to come. So be careful what you say. I think that those that talk about the saints and New Orleans are all jealous. No one from New Orleans , Louisiana said any thing about your sorry teams, but let the saints win one superbowl and everyone has to have a tantrum just like a little kid. I wish you would go there and say that to their faces and see what would happen to you, but you won’t cause your to scared, you all are a bunch of mama’s boys……go cry to mommie now and have mommy change your diapers for you. May god have mercy on all of your souls. Also, instead of talking about new orleans and worrying what is going on there, you all should worry about what shape your states are in. How about those illegal immigrants coming into this country and using up all of our resources and we as american citizens don’t get a damn thing but harrassment from the federal government. Let’s talk politics and get over your dumb selves and act more like adults than like kids. This old world is getting ready to end and you aren’t worried about making things right with god, what are you going to do when the time comes to answer to god? Act dumb and say I didn’t kow or are you going to ask for more time? Or are you going to let the devil take you over? Probably the latter of the three.
12:47 am on September 6th, 2010
I’m sick and tired of the “Katrina Crutch”. $ BILLIONS (with a “B”) have been poured into the rabbit hole and it’s still a dangerous THUGVILLE. New Orleans is/was a garbage dump in many areas and we all know WHY.
The Democrat Party Plantation has perpetuated a sense of entitlement and victimhood. Those morons IGNORED a mandatory EVACUATION ORDER. What part of “MANDATORY” says stick around town for the best looting opprotunities? Hmmm? I’ve talked to RATIONAL people who got their dog, packed their car and got the hell out and haven’t made EXPLOITING a hurricane for financial gain a FULL TIME JOB.
12:53 am on September 6th, 2010
Kudos to Mr Hampton for his comments.Likewise to those who agree with him and of course to those who disagree.The 1st ammendment folks. freedom of speech is a truly beautiful thing!! If you disagree move to North Korea..
12:56 am on September 6th, 2010
I was a child in Mandeville in the 1950’s.Most of my relatives lived in NO.
If you don’t know whereMandeville is you don’t know enough to be whining about a comment on New Orleans.If you do & you’re snivelling,GrowUp!
Katrina hit Mississipi and a lot of other places.They’re all better now,why aren’t you?
12:57 am on September 6th, 2010
lol, man you little purplepunks are still crying like little childresses. “yall dont play fair down there” lmao and i and anybody living in our little bowl would rather go down with our town than living the boring little lives you live up in minnysoda. what do you do all winter bsides play with yourselves while you get snow for what 6 mos out of the year. but i would be pissed to if i was o for 4 in superbowls and got ripped off for the opportunity to go again. hopefully this year!!! hahaha not!
1:22 am on September 6th, 2010
GEEZ boys. It’s a figure of speech. Dan LOVES Nawlins, won a Super Bowl there. Get freaking over it. Don’t make this out to be any more than it is.
1:43 am on September 6th, 2010
Get a Life…..it was just a comment. No anti-”n” word intent. Man, people just need to get a life and grow up. Me, I think half the people of New Orleans sit/sat on their butts and waited for others to take car of them. To those people, I could care less how you fare. To those that are trying hard to reclaim life and house, I will give my time and money.
So, don’t relate the NFL to New Orleans losers………..
2:30 am on September 6th, 2010
Dan is only telling the truth. The only reason the aints won the UNSUPERBOWL is besause of a town needing rebuilding. The NFL should be take the blame for the aints winning. There is no way in HELL they should of could of or what ever else of they could of been there any other way.
2:42 am on September 6th, 2010
That Idoit didn’t have to restart his life all over again after losing everything. At age 55 with failing health and the IRS on my Butt.
House Gone have to get a new loan, try to wear our shoes.
2:53 am on September 6th, 2010
That was an insensitive comment, which would bother me if it came from a politician, religious leader, etc. However, sensitivity isn’t what I’m looking for when I talk about the NFL. It’s a sport for grown men. If you can’t handle that, don’t watch or listen to it. This is just no big deal at all, and I’m a bleeding-heart liberal, for pete’s sake.
3:33 am on September 6th, 2010
We just added hurricanes to the list of politically incorrect speech topics. Perhaps we should outlaw all metaphors since someone, somewhere will be offended. Offending someone will carry 20 years with no parole. Murder will be reduced to 5 yrs with chance of earlier parole. Only certain groups of people however may claim that they were offended.
Trials for this felony will go to the top of the docket.
3:58 am on September 6th, 2010
These former athletes that fill our airways in the media with plushy retirement jobs are ruining the professional journalistic craft. Even the pundits like Schecter and Jim Gray add a stench to the profession with their unnamed sources reporting.
What I dislike the most is an awful football play by play analyst. If you see the replay of the Mississippi State-Memphis game, listen to Herm Edwards. I cannot believe a former player and NFL coach had not one expert thing to say about the plays run in that game. He was a joke. He was making comments that Joe the Plumber would make on his couch, and his command of the English language was Emmitt Smith and Keyshawn Johnson-like. Keyshawn is in good with Berman. Why he even has a job to criticize NFL players is beyond me because he was one of the mre disliked players in the league, getting booted out of Tampa because he was all about himself. ESPN really reduces the quality of their schtick using amateur retired athletes for professional journalistic jobs. The NFL Network could do better than Warren Sapp as well.
4:58 am on September 6th, 2010
Yo mama! There I said it. Who’s crying now?
5:10 am on September 6th, 2010
Wow! Them Southron folks can dish it out, but they sure can’t take it. Those backward cousin swappers have spent the last several years kicking Detroit while it’s down, while THEY expect Uncle Sugar to come a runnin’ every time their moronic insistence on building in hurricane zones leads to the inevitable. Fact is, of course, Detroit WISHES it looked half as good as the Ninth Ward the day after the water receded. Grow a pair, cornpones.
5:18 am on September 6th, 2010
tonY,
To be fair, Herm is at least as big a joke among the players, veteran and retired. I’d say that he and Matt Millen would make a great pair, only that might get me into trouble with Al Sharpton.
5:24 am on September 6th, 2010
Conrad,
Buy a vowel, dude. The difference between Katrina and the other disasters (WTC, OKC,…) is pretty simple…DELIBERATE HUMAN AGENCY. SOMEBODY did it.
5:58 am on September 6th, 2010
ever learn in school what a metaphor is? the press will criticize anything if it can fill a page or time on the air! there are much more important things in the world. How in the hell can anyone, and i mean anyone, get their panties in a bind about that?

The pussification of over sensitive americans continues.Grow a sack America.Everything hurts someones feelings.I’m tired of it.
6:20 am on September 6th, 2010
bob is exactly right. STFU pussies.
6:28 am on September 6th, 2010
Mr. Hampton has a right to say what he wants….this is America. At the same time, he should think before he speaks.
It’s clear alot of people are sick of political correctness….but it is about more than that….it’s about remembering that we are all Americans. Of course there are those that uses and abuses the system….but for the most part social aid helps those in need. Lets inact a new law that takes away citizenship for anyone caught commiting fraud and make sure it only helps the truly needy.
Those of you opposing any social help, stop crying about the $20 in taxes taken out of your check for social programs…..you are the same brats that never shared your toys. Grow the f**k up.
And stop with the politics nonsense!! Guess what? None of them give a sh** about you morons! Read actual history ONCE just ONCE and you will find that welfare went to the lowest payout in history under Bill Clinton….a liberal democrat.
Why don’t Americans wise up and realize that politics, left, right, liberal, and conservative is just a game to divide us all?
Read something instead of running your mouth! I’m tired of all of you, because you make Americans look ignorant and heartless.
6:28 am on September 6th, 2010
No story here; the comment was fine. The PROBLEM was New Orleans residents choose to sit and cry, and demand sympathy, instead of getting off their *sses and actually fixing anything. Disagree? Then explain Roy Nagin’s reelection!
6:34 am on September 6th, 2010
The same people wondering why its so offensive would be pissed right now if someone made a joke about their team is going to have a harder time playing the Saints than a child fighting cancer. Or the Saints need to hit Favre like your dad used to beat your mom. Or Favre is going to the ground like a Minn. bridge. He could have easily said “hit them like a hurricane” and this wouldn’t even be a story, but he chose to take the extra steps to make it personal.
But unlike the anonymity of the internet, where ignorant, racist, scumbags can make comments without consequence. He chose to say it on TV and I think thats what has people so upset. Just thinking that their could be consequences for saying something stupid is a scary idea.
6:40 am on September 6th, 2010
Gee, every other city along the gulf coast and the Atlantic has managed to recover after a hurricane.
It’s not like it happened yesterday, last week, or even a year ago. Bunch of sensitve babies.
6:52 am on September 6th, 2010
Whats the big deal? Everyone quit being so sensitive. We’re becoming girly-men. Dan Hampton is no girlie man.
6:54 am on September 6th, 2010
Apparently Brooks never took English grammar classes. Ever hear of a simile, Buddy Boy? I think it was a great one that Danimal delivered.
6:55 am on September 6th, 2010
People are sensative in America now because of the growing divide between the “haves” and the “have nots”…..Those that have money feel the ones that don’t have money deserve that existance because they don’t work hard enough. ……Those that are poor are angry because they are penalized for being poor. Example: No money to pay car insurance and your license is suspended and you are fined close to $400 to get a car back on the road to get to work.
My father is republican and a millionaire, but he made it from being lucky in the right place at the right time and from screwing a few people over.
I was too nice to screw anyone over and have worked my way through college 7 years and worked two jobs all my life and I am poor. I worked twice as hard as he did and he barely had a hs education.
So people need to think a little bit and put themselves in other people’s shoes…..what would you do if your baby was crying and had not eat for two days….you would go steal the food if you could find no job. Stop judging everyone from a few bad apples and have some compassion in your heart for fellow Americans.
There is going to be a war in this country between the “haves” and “have nots”, because neither side stops for 5 mins to view the other’s situation.
Tragic, but inevitable i think now
6:58 am on September 6th, 2010
How about all the idiot Saints fans who sore paper bags over their heads with Aints printed on them? Tell me that’s politically correct.
7:16 am on September 6th, 2010
He could have said like huessein barrack obama ben salimi screwed white tax paying America. Has youall’s got’s your new obama free cell phone?
7:18 am on September 6th, 2010
I went through Katrina. There are too many thin skinned people. Get over it and move on. Must be a slow news day.
7:42 am on September 6th, 2010
I was born in New Orleans, love the Saints and if I’d heard the original comment I wouldn’t have raised an eyebrow. Anyone who takes offense so something so meaningless needs something else to occupy his time, including the writer. Have to agree that it was a super slow news day.
FWIW: The Mississippi Gulf Coast was the area actually “hit” (and far more devestated) by Katrina, not the New Orleans area which wouldn’t have flooded if the levees hadn’t broken. But New Orleans is way sexier than Biloxi, so it gets the press.
7:45 am on September 6th, 2010
Waaaaa!!! Booo Hoooo! Poor New Orleans! Someone made a joke! Waaaaaaaaa! Get over yourself you leftist A**WIPE! Mississippi was hit harder than New Orleans and handled it without fan fare, fema, or CNN. You wack jobs seriously need a life! While you are searching for it, please take PC and stick it where the sun doesn’t shine! If New Orleans used my tax dollars for recovery then I have paid for the right to crack a few or listen to a few jokes.
7:50 am on September 6th, 2010
You people who are crying over a simple statement like this need to get a life.
8:03 am on September 6th, 2010
FREEDOM OF SPEECH. WELL SAID!!!
8:07 am on September 6th, 2010
As one post deftly stated, where are we going with this elimination of euphemisms we use to describe sports? No more “destroy,” “kill,” “flatten,” “wipe-out,” etc.????????????? Without knowing Dan Hampton, I would guess that he is probably a kind and well-intentioned person. Where is the intent to excoriate the NO people or make some politically incorrect statement? The PC crowd has gone way too far and unfortunately the mainstream media is infected with them. Social commentary aside, NO is still part of OUR country and its vitality is important.
The trend is that football action will sound like this:
“Adrian Peterson was inadvertantly pushed over by a stray hand that came out of nowhere.” All his teammates hovered around offering up flufffy tissues to wipe away tears.” The alleged perpetrator directed the team manager to bring roses for an apology.
8:07 am on September 6th, 2010
And if someone had said the Saints defense will drop Favre like an interstate bridge, you would have to cancel Christmas
8:08 am on September 6th, 2010
Are you kidding me? This is football. Football is a violent sport and making references to what one team will do to another is very common and normal. Leave it alone and, more importantly, leave Dan Hampton alone. He’s a guy who played because he loved the game, not for the money. Personally I thought it was a great comment. Makes me want to watch the game even more now.
8:11 am on September 6th, 2010
Maybe greese them like BP would be better. get over your dead beat selfs already ya lazy basterds.
8:16 am on September 6th, 2010
Cant wait until we bring down the giants like al quida brought down the twin towers. Its been 9 years , get over it.
How about if we go to denver and take out those broncos like those columbine shooters.
How about we go to minnesota and take them like down like the hwy 35 bridge….
8:18 am on September 6th, 2010
Maybe somebody needs to HIT this JERK like Katrina and then place his sorry a– in the center of New Orleans and let the citizens get a go at him!!!
8:19 am on September 6th, 2010
Politically correct whiners need to stop worrying about the rough and tough world of football. Start watching soccer you f&^%ing wimps! Give me a break!
8:35 am on September 6th, 2010
I wouldn’t send those smart ass yankee pieces of filth one ounce of oil or gas; then we will see how long you house burning greedy degenerates can keep your dumps warm this winter. Your part of the country is crumbling under the weight of your own greed and are trying to bring the rest down with you.
8:49 am on September 6th, 2010
you guys all a bunch of idiots. New Orleans wore vikings ass out last year along with giants, patriots, and most other supposed champion teams. We will pick up where we left off last year. Favre wont finish game/.
8:55 am on September 6th, 2010
Please. Dan just says what everybody else thinks. I’ll go you one better:
I hope Drew Brees suffers a compound fracture of the femur and his career is OVER. Here’s another one:
I hope Reggie Bush tears his achilles and is done for the year and then retires.
We’re all so sick of the Saints and their city’s crying pity party. You got your damn Super Bowl now go away!
9:02 am on September 6th, 2010
Don’t get your panties in a bunch Brooks. Is this seriously news. I love when people take one little stupid sound byte from someone who talks all day for years and blows it up like their a racist, or the devil or something. Besides t thought the brokeback comment was funny.
9:04 am on September 6th, 2010
I see that classy and courteous are still just a myth. We continue to divide ourselves by pointing out negative differences. I am a die-hard Packer fan and I do believe the game was tough and at times full of mistakes - officials included. But, if the only way the Saints can win is by brutalizing and maiming the opposing quarterbacks ( Warner and Favre), then I will pull for whomever they play!!!!!!!!!
9:07 am on September 6th, 2010
Because the nobel citizens of NO would go after him, even if the never heard of the guy. Sounds like a great place. Whatever retards are hoping Bree’s gets hurt need to find a brain and a soul quick. He’s one of the nicer, more upstanding players in the league and the NFL would be worse off without him
9:07 am on September 6th, 2010
are folks really upset about that, gezz are we just alittle over sensitive. its not ment in a form of bad mouthing the city. or what happened for that matter.. i got his point..
9:23 am on September 6th, 2010
The most shocking thing about this article is that Dan Hampton is a HOF’er. Must of been a really bad year for nominees.
9:25 am on September 6th, 2010
To bustoff:
Hey Dan, you can’t write comments about yourself.
9:28 am on September 6th, 2010
Get over it Vi-queens fans. You were the lucky team last year. You will be 6 and 10 this year and Favre is old and feminine.
9:38 am on September 6th, 2010
I’m glad to see others agree that the rest of the Gulf coast has recovered much more quickly (and quietly) than NO. Biloxi caught the eye and little towns east of there were completely wiped out. They were not any less poor than the NO residents, just less numerous.
I love south LA (not L.A.) but wish they would get past this and move on.
9:41 am on September 6th, 2010
Seriously … if that is offensive, people need to grow thicker skin. Leave it in the context it is in. He was talking football.
9:52 am on September 6th, 2010
I bet none of you can fight,..bunch of E Thugs….Who wants some?
9:52 am on September 6th, 2010
If you are one of the people who complain about what somebody SAYS…you need to be reminded of this:
Sticks and stones can break my bones,but WORDS can never hurt me !!!
9:53 am on September 6th, 2010
I am sending this reply to all of those ignorant people
that don’t have a soul… Let alone intelligence.
I am a christian man and all that I can say is that I
shall pray for you. I grew up in New Orleans and have
had faith that they would someday achieve greatness.
Nothing is ever given to a professional football team
and the two best teams from each year play each other
for the trophy. There is no charity and no silver platters.
Let’s all show up for the game on thursday and see who deserves to win… My hopes and prayers are that
no one gets injured and that the best team wins.
I must say one thing about all of the ugly people and their stupid and hateful remarks…
It goes like this:
What do you and an unemployed teacher have in common???
NO CLASS
May God bless and keep you all,
T
9:57 am on September 6th, 2010
Fat FUCK!!!!! I HATE FAT PEOPLE.
10:00 am on September 6th, 2010
well lousiana is the arm pit of the world. so i can see where people would take offence to this comment. this guys is only talking about football. hes not talking about people dying and losing everything they own.
10:01 am on September 6th, 2010
stosh I’ll bet you are a fat mid western pig.
10:04 am on September 6th, 2010
go hampton …..people from n.o smell. its like a third world country …..fuck the saints
10:13 am on September 6th, 2010
Chicago isn’t much better. The Black Thug Capital of the WORLD!
10:31 am on September 6th, 2010
seriously the people of new orleans and the govenor and city officials had PLENTY of damn time to get out of louisana and New Orleans before Katrina hit…and dont hand me that well the roads were crowded what do you think a hurricane that size just pops up over night they had been tracking it for several days out..but no New Orleans thought they could ride it out and maybe put a vodoo curse on it and make it go away…thats how damn ignorant they are…so before another word is spoken about feeling sorry for them just keep that in mind they decided to stay and mess with mother nature so its on them to suffer what she did. as far as the comments made by dan…seriously dude took to many shots to the head they need to unplug his mic and just let him sit there talking into a closed mic until his contract expires.
10:39 am on September 6th, 2010
Forgive me enc. Where I come from, we have nuclear power. I forgot that half the country’s still in the stone age. For that I do apologize.
10:40 am on September 6th, 2010
I’m sure we can get a flight to NO for Dan HAmption … He can survey the damage of Katrina and help rebuild a home for some of the elderly affected by Katrina. NO is the reason FEMA was ready for the storm on the East Coast last weekj. They caused death and anger because they can get to Haiti sooner than they helped New Orleans.
Who’s for taking a donation for Dan’s Trip??????
10:44 am on September 6th, 2010
I cant even believe this is newsworthy,,,,big deal…this is football, trash talking is part of the game…lighten up, toughen up and then shut up people….this is so not a big deal…
10:49 am on September 6th, 2010
I just want you all to know that I am not going to curse or blow up on you guys to start. I am from the New Orleans area, lost people in that storm, who weren’t poor, miserable citizens of the city, but successful, hard working Americans. And this comment isn’t about football. I am sick and tired of political correctness, but trust me, if a natural disaster of massive proportions happened to Minneapolis or Chicago or New York or Los Angeles and billions of dollars were needed to rebuild and thousands of people died, when a sportscaster said, “They will go (insert disastrous moment) to that (insert city or reference)” you people would freak out. As I said earlier, this comment wasn’t about football, he didn’t mention the gridiron, he didn’t mention defense, or offense, he mentioned something that involved human loss of life, whether black, white purple or orange. I know my comment will go unnoticed but not everyone in the Louisiana/Gulf Coast area are worthless human beings….a great deal of us have done better since Katrina…you just see what you want to see and what the news lets you see. And for those that think the Superbowl was just handed to the Saints…..say what you want, but we have the ring, and if you knew football and weren’t a conspiracy theorist….you’d know that the right team won. God Bless
10:51 am on September 6th, 2010
St. Charles First most of northern US gets there natural gas from canada, second any other part of the country would of recovered by now
10:51 am on September 6th, 2010
he said nothing wrong. To damn many thin skinned people in this country. N.O. is a pain in the ass. Other places have rebuilt and gone on with thier lives. there was no coverage or the terrible floods in Iowa recently, because there were no welfare people picketing there . Atlanta’s crime has gone up 5 fold since 1/2 of N.O. thugs moved here . We shouldnt have spent billions rebuilding a town 12 ft under sea level. Thats just plan dumb
10:53 am on September 6th, 2010
wp88 is an idiot you think people who are too poor to eat are gonna pick up and leave how were they gonna do so? were they gonna pay with air? all yall are stupid it was bush’s fault cause he took forever to send help the city had over 3 million people more than half left it was the people who had no means to leave that were forced to stay! i dont condone looting but wat would you expect when instinct kick in and you need to survive steal a tv and sell it to get food clothes or watever.Boittom line IF YOU DONT KNOW PERSONALLY WHAT HAPPENED DONT PASS JUDGEMENT OR MAKE COMMENTS CAUSE YOU MAKE YOURSELF LOOK STUPID!
10:55 am on September 6th, 2010
Chill out everybody—It just shows his ignorance
10:56 am on September 6th, 2010
Hold me somebody!
10:58 am on September 6th, 2010
What a waste of time. He just made an analogy, nothing more. Our polictically correct society is out of hand, disecting everyones comments and making an issue of it.
We should worry about the important things and not what everyone is saying.
10:58 am on September 6th, 2010
Bottom line is the Saints caused all those turnovers vs Vikings and the Colts, and won the game because of it. The Vikings dominated the stats, but the final score matters in the NFL. Stats only matter in Fantasy Football. This is not a race thing, this is a football thing. I’m from Texas and a Cowboy fan, but the Saints deserved to win because their defense out played the Vikings and the Colts. Some of you people bringing race, Katrina and other things should be ashame of yourselves.
11:07 am on September 6th, 2010
First, all those blaming New Orleans residents for Katrina are ignorant buffoons. Saints fans and New Orleans residents should not even argue with them. Their intelligence equate to that of a wet carrot. I am not even going to make an argument because doing so would justify their stupidity. But maybe you idiots flaming New Orleans should read a ****ing book on the subject before talking about what you neither KNOW nor EXPERIENCED.
Regarding you Vikings fans…you LOST. You LOST. Plain and simple. You don’t see packer fans whining all day about how we “lost” the NFC Championship against the Giants (as opposed to the Giants “winning”). We LOST and so did you. Here’s how the NFL works: The teams that PLAY better go on to win…otherwise, why even play? Get over yourselves and get a life if it means that much to you.
By the way, this is all from a packer fan from Portland, Oregon.
11:28 am on September 6th, 2010
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Get over it!
11:37 am on September 6th, 2010
I hope the Saint destroy the Vikings and kick Favre’s ass more than they did in January.
11:40 am on September 6th, 2010
Move along for God’s sake you hapless politically correct malingerers. Obsess on something that matters. Lord help me!
How deep do we need to consistently go in order to manifest some perverted version of being “offended”. Are we this pathetic really?
11:44 am on September 6th, 2010
It’s Football people! what sorry excuses for mankind you are for wishing any athlete to be injured and more so for bringing up the fact that American people died as a result of Katrina. You are the damnation of this nation you pathetic selfish bastards.
11:45 am on September 6th, 2010
… and news flash to whoever the NOBODY is that wrote this article. If this drivel even flashed through your mind as something topic-worhty, then you are irretrievably and sadly “politically correct”. You should be writing something for “Teen Beat” - or anything else little girls might like to read.
11:50 am on September 6th, 2010
gunny you stupid ass well all im gone say keep commenting and making a$@^es out of your selves no class!!!
shutupandplay we are recovered idiot our city is functioning just fine faggot!!
good point ELC these people are stupid and even though we might not know who you are, god do and he’s the one you need to be worried about!
11:57 am on September 6th, 2010
Big deal. I’m sick of hearing about Katrina. Do you hear Missippissi, Ababama, Texas crying? No, they rolled up their sleeves and went to work. They didn’t sit on their butts and wait for help. By the way, Texas has had two hurricane’s since katrina.
11:58 am on September 6th, 2010
saints 35 minn 14 and roger you are the man this suppose to be football go saints
12:01 pm on September 6th, 2010
People should be albe to say what they want, even though it’s not “politically correct”.
12:03 pm on September 6th, 2010
Not Good
12:15 pm on September 6th, 2010
It was bad enough the refs gave that game to the Saints…but…He was using it to a comparison…nothing wrong with what he said…you politically correct arse holes…besides … Orleans is pretty pathetic in its own right…Probably one of the most corrupt police forces, Gov. officials, Mob & gang influence…to say the least a welfare state & places in Mississippi was hit even harder and didn’t get nearly the press…and people were responsible for themselves instead of waiting for the government to come and rescue them. Hey let’s build another City in a swamp, next to the ocean, below sea level…yea…that makes alot of sense…
12:36 pm on September 6th, 2010
Saints kicked that ass…better team lossed, give me a f#@%ing break! The best team DID win ALL of it’s playoff games including the NFC Championship and the Superbowl! Saints are World Champs!!
12:59 pm on September 6th, 2010
Katrina was a storm that killed over 1,800 people. September 11th 2001 was a day when terrorist killed over 2000 people. Since the dawn of the 21st century America has suffered. Florida saw 4 hurricanes strike the state in 2004. Texas got hit by hurricane Ike in 2008. Billions of dollars of damage and thousands of lives lost by man attacking America and natural disasters. New York City won’t be the same, Arlington Virginia in the D.C area won’t think their Pentagon is so safe anymore. I was 6 miles from the Pentagon when that plane hit. I knew one person who died in the Pentagon. Yes we have freedom of speech but we got to watch what we say. All these locations have one thing in common. They all thought it wasn’t going to happen to them. Disaster can strike anytime anywhere either man made or natural. Try to have some compassion on those that are suffering. You never know when it will be your turn to suffer a similar fate. In the meanwhile let’s support our NFL teams while remembering our fallen American troops and citizens who have died trying to live the American dream.
1:10 pm on September 6th, 2010
I can’t wait until the hornets blow up oklahoma city thunder like Timothy Mcveigh did..well show Mcveigh how to do it right…

to all dissing new orleans, your mother is a whore and I hope dies a painful and horrible death….
Get over it, I’m just talking trash like I do at a football game… So its ok…..
2:22 pm on September 6th, 2010
Whats the big deal…not just N.O. had problems with Katrina but thats all we hear about…People need a bit thicker skin. What ever happened to sticks & stones will break your bones but names can never hurt you?Sure Katrina was F*&%ed up but to not be able to refrance it …come on gimme a break.
2:34 pm on September 6th, 2010
What’s the problem with the comment? I think folks need to loosen up and get a grip..the point, was that if the Vikings need to win the game, they need to overwhelm the Saints, like Katrina did an incompetant governor and mayor…
3:05 pm on September 6th, 2010
Katrina was not just a political disaster it was a human disaster. Katrina just emphasised that America learned nothing from 9/11. What are you going to say if Washington DC gets nuked? Are you people going to say that DC should grow thicker skin. What are you going to say if San Francisco gets another killer quake like 1906? Are you still going to insist on thicker skin? What if Chicago gets hit from an EF 5 tornado? Thicker skin won’t save those people or help the cost of human suffering. In any of these events our politicians are still not ready to deal with these problems. Have some sympathy people.
3:29 pm on September 6th, 2010
Dear Saints,
Destroy the Vikings.

Calm down people! Who cares what a big, dumb ex-Bear has ro say. He wouldn’t even be in the Hall Of Fame if he wern’t white. Just the facts. He was elected to balance out all the African-Americans get in the HOF! He never had HOF credentials. Big stuttering dummy.
5:29 pm on September 6th, 2010
You people are up to your elbows in BS. Let’s get off this Politically Correct Stuff. It was not a nice comment, but it does not warrant the crap some of you have thrown at Dan. His skin color had nothing to do with his awards as a white player has no right to claim prejudice in the fact that 85+ % of the NFL is black. I am sick of everyone with a chip on their shoulder and no brains complaining. Get a life. It was not what I would have said, but Dan is not me, so drop it.

8:17 pm on September 6th, 2010
To all the New Orleans haters… You do realize that you are just a very small portion of ignorance…. Not everyone thinks the way that you do.. All this talk about we’re using Katrina as a krutch… Get for real.. I go to work everyday just like every other American.. I pay my bills, take care of my kids,, live an honest living, don’t ask anyone for anything.. What do yall think we are down here.. Have you ever been here before you make those ignorant comments.. No just keep watching the news LOL.. Come have a great time in a beautiful city.. New Orleans that is.. &. Of course every city in this world has it’s bad parts.. That’s including the city you live in.. But let’s not just highlight the negative please.. & if it’s really just hatred because the Saints won the Superbowl.. Than some of yall really need to grow up…
8:44 pm on September 6th, 2010
Years back, after a spike in suicides at a particular Texas high school, opponents held up banners that read ” Kill &^%$#, before they kill themselves!!!”
So, let us all breathe deep.
Let us forget about our sports rivalries. let us forget about our regional rivalries… and let us forget about our politics.
Let us remember what our momma’s taught us - “If you have nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all.”
Good night!

It’s a metaphor people. About a football game. He wasn’t wishing any ill to the town or people of New Orleans. Sheesh…The collective skins of way too many people are getting much too thin. People are imagining slights that don’t even exist.
8:13 am on September 7th, 2010
People it is time to get over it! The comment was about football!! I am from MN and we plan on doing just what he said!
10:24 am on September 7th, 2010
Adrian fumbled because the Saints cause it , and farve was hit because the over rated and under talented ofensive line that knowone is talking about
10:43 am on September 7th, 2010
Dan Hampton is a cad & a buffoon… I live in Chicago & have had to endure his stupidity for too long. Dump the fool !!
11:55 am on September 7th, 2010
For the total trash talking jerks who think New Orleans deserves to drown…particularly the idiots from the Northern U.S….if it weren’t for New Orleans & Louisiana your sorry behinds would be freezing in the winter…it’s called natural gas & if you think you will be just fine without it , then by all means let us know so we can cut you off. Oh, let us not forget…If Los Angeles or New York or Chicago have a massive earthquake….which they all are overdue for….we’re not talking about rescueing 1.5 million on the Gulf coast like in “Katrina”…we’re talking “9.5 million in Los Angeles County….3-4 million in Chicago, 10-11 million in New York and surrounding areas which should clearly tell even the greatest ignorant dumbass….that our government response is going to make “Katrina” look like an overwhelming success by comparison. Nearly, 1,400 people died between New Orleans & Miss. Gulf coast and “hundreds” are still missing. Perhaps, hundreds of thousands would be more to your liking…stayed tuned Chicago, Los Angeles, New York and any other city who believes they are immuned from Mother Natures wrath.
Now who is the Dumb ass

I think I’m just one of millions of people across the country who don’t have anything against the people of New Orleans; we’re just sick and tired of hearing and seeing reporters on TV and in print who gush, “Oh, those poor Saints; they had a hurricane, so we hope they win the game!” Boo hoo! There are tragedies all over the U.S. and the world, and we dust ourselves off and get on with it. I don’t take offense to what Mr. Hamptom said, but he probably could have expressed himself a little better. What I DO take offense to is when the Saints target their opposing team and say they’re going after someone’s ankle or leg or shoulder or whatever. As far as I’m concerned, the Saints have no class; if there’s any justice in this world, they’ll end up 7-9 this year. Good riddance!
