I had the honor of being selected by New Orleans in the 2002 NFL draft, but when my telephone rang and former Saints coach Jim Haslett notified me I was their next selection, I was anything but honored. Considering I had just taken team visits to Miami, Dallas and San Diego, I was far from excited about being drafted by a city that was the poorest and most dangerous in America.

It didn't take me very long to realize statistics were not the sum of what the Crescent City represented. *Full story here: LeCharles Bentley's love letter to the city of New Orleans | New Orleans Saints Central - - NOLA.com

Re: LeCharles Bentley's love letter to the city of New Orleans
I was sad when he left as he was becoming a dominant interior lineman. Was sad to see his troubles in Cleveland and his career spiral downward. He'll always be a Saint. Root hard for us tomorrow LeCharles.

Re: LeCharles Bentley's love letter to the city of New Orleans
yea, i could'nt put a finger on it but now i remember he wanted to go home to the slums of cleveland
its not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight, its the size of fight in the dog. says the GEN. DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER and CAPT. DREW BREES backs it up.
