Superdome - Sports News, Headlines & Highlights
The Lights Went Out In The Superdome
What a weird Super Bowl this has been. The Ravens are all over the 49ers, but it's been a handful of big plays rather than methodical domination so it almost feels like San Francisco is still in it. A fake field goal, a kickoff return, a 56-yard tumbling bomb of a touchdown, an exploding guitar an...
Was This Former Saints Electrician The Source For ESPN's Wiretapping Story?
FOX8 in New Orleans claims to have identified ESPN's source for the Mickey Loomis wiretapping story, and if they're right, it wasn't anyone intimately connected with football operations. Instead, FOX8 (a station owned by Saints owner Tom Benson) claims it was Tim Landry, a sound and electrical worke...
Watch An All-Male Dance Troupe Take The Field At Halftime Of The Saints/Titans Game
When it came to the Saints getting throttled by the Titans in the final preseason game of the year the other night, here's what one guy wrote:...
Why Take A Home Game Away From The Saints?
The NFL announced yesterday that next year's Wembley Stadium in London game will be between the New Orleans Saints and the San Diego Chargers. This makes sense — perhaps we'll get a Reggie Bush giant robot — but we don't quite understand: Why are the Saints the home team?...
Another Reason To Descend On The Superdome
If you still haven't gotten that icky racist-LSU-fans taste out of your mouth after reading that story earlier today, here's a New Orleans story that might cheer you up: In April, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of The Vagina Monologues, they're turning the entrance to the Superdome into a giant v...
Saints: America's Guilty Conscience Team
Like most of you who decided that NFL Sunday Ticket isn't quite valuable enough to make up for the utter uselessness of DirectTV, we spent yesterday at a sports bar, looking past the impromptu games of beer pong to watch hundreds of television screens full of football. And we saw what we're sure y...
The Monstrosity of Leaving The Big Easy
Currently, the New Orleans Saints — we have to keep reminding ourselves that New Orleans had a football team, and that they still exist right now — are denying CNN's reports that the Superdome will have to be torn down, but whether CNN is right or not, the team still needs someplace to play right ...
NFL To New Orleans: Let Them Eat Cake
We live in New York City, which inexplicably does not carry the NFL Network — write your Congressmen! — so we missed a pretty huge faux pas from the league. Fortunately, those intrepid souls at Football Outsiders watched it for us....
Shots Fired Outside Superdome
It's beginning to turn crazy and chaotic outside the Superdome; people are actually shooting at the rescue helicopters, which is totally counterproductive. They're trying to get the refugees out of there so they can ship them to the Reliant Astrodome — to remind you, Reliant sponsors a dead dome —...
Saints Searching For a Home
As New Orleans seemingly turns into more of a swamp by the day, it is beginning to occur to sports people that New Orleans has a football team, and that team is going to need somewhere to play. The Saints' home opener was scheduled for September 18, but not only won't be able to play in the Super...
The Waste Of The Superdome
A look at the Superdome from the inside up. Those who were in the Dome during the hurricane say the bathrooms were overrun with trash and the heat was "unbearable." Which makes it pretty much like every football Sunday, actually....
We'll Avoid Any "Let's Blow The Roof Off This Place!" Comments
This is the home of the New Orleans Saints, first game September 18 against the New York Giants. In other words, we hope the fine folks at Tulane have some free space that Sunday....
