...takes all the heat off the quarterback,” offensive coordinator Dave Cecchini said. “The fact that when defenses prepare for us, they have to prepare first and foremost for Clifton, because he’s such a force running the football...
...FEMA and the Red Cross each announced plans to give evacuees cards worth up to $2000, the Reliant Center was overrun by storm victims from inside the facility and from shelters throughout the city. Fistfights erupted along the lines that quickly snaked around the complex, and people fainted from heat exhaustion, prompting officials from both agencies to evict the evacuees who had stormed in from outside facilities, and shut down the system for the day.

The masterless dogs are so hungry and delirious in the 92 heat that they drink this mix, at least a lap or two, and then stagger away. The city smells dead, and although the French Quarter and a few other areas were blessedly spared, whatever exists in many neighborhoods here a year from now will be vastly different...
