roundtable

Here's what we have planned for tonight's Reporters Roundtable (6:30-8 p.m. CST, www.bizneworleans.com, 504-200-9476, reportersroundtable@hotmail.com.

In the first half hour I'll be joined by former Saints Director of Administration Arnold Fielkow to get his take on the new "Saints Business Council" and the team's and the NFL's plans for New Orleans for 2006 and beyond. I'll also ask him about his plans.

In the second half hour I'll be joined by Damon Darensburg of Fox 8 Sports and we'll talk about the NBA heading into All-Star weekend -- the Hornets' impending return for three games, the Hornets' turnaround this season, All-Star Weekend, what's happend across the league thus far, and what to look for after the All-Star Break.

And in the final half hour I'll be joined once again by Fletcher Mackel of Channel 6 News and we'll discuss the Saints and the Winter Olympics.

Please listen in and feel free to call in.

Thanks,

Les East
