Thank God They're Back Home! 
He was a very savvy and successful Atlanta businessman, as well as a great father and human being.
What did I do the first night alone in NOLA my freshman year at Tulane after my Mom got on the plane to ATL? I went to see the Saints vs the 'Coons. What else? There is a special place in my heart for the Saints, especially after Katrina.
I grew up with a family having season tickets to the Atlanta Falcons games. My dad actally brought pro football to Atlanta -- he organized the initial AFC games in Atlanta that were held at Grady Stadium. That led to an NFL franchise in Atlanta. I still have the pennants from the exhibition games. I so loved my Daddy.
I would love to be in the Dome this Monday night. I got so spoiled....nothing compares to being in the Super Dome. When those Saints come busting out onto the field I get chill bumps all over my body!
Actually I really miss having the Saints playing at the old Sugar Bowl on Tulane campus. Big D and I have some great memories from those days.That is just too cool Beach Runner!
