Greg de'Ville Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 ...you thought the Buffalo sports scene was tough back in October (0-4 Bills start and no Swordsmen hockey with the NHL lockout), it must be hellish to be a New Orleans sports fan these days. The 'Aints "ain't" going anywhere (again), and Haslett's days as skipper may be numbered. Then there is their NBA team, the Hornets, off to a glittering 1-19 start. They had the ignominy of losing last night to the franchise that replaced them in Charlotte--the expansion Bobcats, a fledging enterprise with five wins in 19 outings (not bad for a first-year outfit). 1-19 x 4=you do the math over an 80-game slate (82 to be official). The ol' 9-73 '76ers mark for season-long ineptitude may be in jeopardy. Sheesh. There's poor, and then there is dirt poor. Nawlins is right now in the latter group.

ExiledInIllinois Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 Somebody say water?... Like I have said many times before... sh-- rolls down hill... When somebody reaches for a glass of water in NO, it has already passed through three people. Think of that "Chicagoians" next time you flush!

HopsGuy Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 The curse of Tim Floyd continues. 161655[/snapback] I'm thinking the it's more of the curse of Jan van Breda Kolff. The bastard destroyed the Bonnies and now the Hornets (he was an assistant on Floyd's staff). Hey JvBK :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: !!

Hey JvBK :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: !! 161672[/snapback] Hopper, You can throw Son of Wick (Kort) in there as well. Wick (Sr/Jr), VBK, Lane. The quartet from hell. The Bonnies winless and one of the dreg teams this season in college basketball. Not a pretty picture back home, is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again, there isn't anything wrong with Bonas that can't be fixed by what right at Bonas. The place is more than just a basketball team. I'll give Gothard a bit of a pass though. He was in a VERY difficult situation. I'm not sure what I would have done given those circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 Thats why the Saints are going to move to LA...honestly, ask an NFL fan if he gives a crap whether the Saints play in NO or LA...it doesnt matter. There is no history in NO, so its not that big of a deal if they leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CajunBillsBacker Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 Going out everyday is alot easier for me when the Bills are better than the Saints! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
