... it's like putting lipstick on a pig.

I am surprised to see a city agree to financing a new stadium in this economy, Atlanta must be doing well. They'll be hosting the SuperBowl in a few years ... I said, "hosting", not "playing in",

This is exactly what it is. They saw all that hype the Saints got from the whole possibility of playing the Bowl in their home stadium, plus the economic boost, and now they want that too. They are like the perennial little brother to the Saints...Everything Atlanta does, is something the Saints already did a year or two previous. We come out with Duece, they come out with Turner. We get some media love off of Katrina, the city coming back and all, so they see that and invent this ridiculous "Rise Up" advertising campaign and try and BUY media storyline of overcoming adversity or make it look like the city supports their team or whatever. We come out with Brees, they come along a couple years later with Ryan and try and pass him off as "elite." It's ridiculous how many examples of this there are. We won a Super Bowl first, still waiting on them....

Yeah, I noticed that about Atlanta as a whole ... huge self-esteem issues,

. Seems like they're consumed with trying to one-up or be like New Orleans in almost every way on every level ... like "little brothers",

Well isn't that Special.

Well that actually makes me a little jealous of Atlanta. I hope this isn't far in our future.

After the renovations to the dome it will be in use for a looong time and it should. It is in great shape and fully comparable to newer stadiums around the world. And in saying that, I have visited great stadiums in Sweden, Germany, USA and Japan.
