It's not a matter of public announcement (note this is a state senator leaking a private conversation) nor is it a matter of holding the city up. If the Superdome can't be salvaged (or can only be salvaged at tremendous cost), then New Orleans will have much bigger priorities than building a new NFL stadium. Old New Orleans had trouble supporting a team (I'm talking financially, contractual payments to the team, not fan support); New New Orleans will have no possibility of doing so in the short-to-medium run.

The Tuesday Morning Quarterback parodies are particularly well done if you have a few hours to kill.

If you're looking at the Steelers, you can make just as much of a case for Stallworth over Swann. The Montana point bugged me a bit--he wasn't like Unitas in San Diego or Namath mopping up in L.A. Montana was still a starter leading come-from-behind wins and taking his team to the playoffs in K.C. And if we just take the talent of the 3 guys and remove them from the other 42 guys around them, the current Colts trio may be as good as it gets.

Saints to LA?
Both L.A. teams left for sweetheart deals elsewhere--not because they were supportedly all that badly. And remember this: if 90% of people in L.A. County couldn't care less about the NFL, that would still leave more people caring than the entire population of San Antonio or New Orleans.
