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.

He was a very savvy and successful Atlanta businessman, as well as a great father and human being.
