Former Saints receiver Joe Horn takes on new venture
 

During a 12-year career spent mostly with the New Orleans Saints, Joe Horn built a reputation as one of the flashiest and most productive wide receivers in the NFL.

Now, five years after his playing days ended, the 40-year-old Horn is remaking himself as a barbecue-sauce entrepreneur.
Horn recently launched Bayou87 BBQ Sauces, and will appear at two events this weekend on the Mississippi coast to meet with fans and promote the brand.

Horn will sign autographs from 3-6 p.m. today at Rouse's market in Diamondhead. He's also co-sponsoring a BBQ cook-off with Winn-Dixie Stores, and will appear at the D'Iberville location for final contest judging beginning at 9 a.m. Saturday.

Another pro player with a BBQ sauce? Yeah, he definitely hit his head one too many times...

Gotta meet the snake oil salesman that convinces these guys to buy food processing and bottling equipment; probably the same recipe too...

How about some "Joe Horn Anti-Sex with your team mates wife" sauce?

"Horn recently launched Bayou87 BBQ Sauces, and will appear at two events this weekend on the Mississippi coast to meet with fans and promote the brand."

or...

Horn recently launched Bayou87 Snow Plows, and will appear at two events this weekend on the Mississippi coast to meet with fans and promote the brand.

He'd get the same results.

Come on Joe do something different please BBQ sauce sell Joe Horn rubbers are something.

Shoulda sold cell phones...

I can see the slogan now:

"Joe Horn's Sauce: Willie's Wife Loves It!"

LMAO

Joe Horn Clothing - Have you ever seen some of the Mac-Daddy-Threads that my brother has sported?

He'd make Russel Simmons Jealous...

Dat ain't right...

next time I make it down to the south, Ill give it shot.

Are you talking about Willie's wife?;)

how bout selling JOE HORN-Y GOAT weed pills

Whoever talked him into starting this venture must have a serious gift of gab because as a business model, I can see several things that look very risky, one the whole incident we all know about which doesn't make him the model spokesperson for anything, then, he only appeals to a very small market. Very small. It would have to be an insanely good product to survive in this economy with a very long burn rate to even break even years from now. Then, as someone stated, the market is flooded. I think it could work with another player but not him. This would have been something the late Norman Hand probably could have pulled off. I would have bought any food related product from him. He looked like a man who knew about food.

Nah, not that risky, really. You don't have to invest on a plant and bottle your own stuff. You can contract with a wholesale outfit, that merely slaps a label to a product, and in the case of Joe, it may very well be a wholesaler threw a few bucks his way to let them put Joe's name on a label.

He is probably just the spokesman for some companies product as opposed to footing the entire operation himself. hes just helping an already existing sauce by putting his face on the lable of an already existing product and just getting royalties. i had a vineyard approach me and say they would put my logo on their wine so i could sell it as house wine. any person on here could get their name on a label. joe horns name just sells better. ever see Zeas beer? its just heinerbrough with a Zeas label.

Has anyone tried it ? The BBQ sauce. We know Joe tried Willie wife.

I'll actually try it as long as i can get him to deep fry a Falcon to taste it with.

That was Joe Johnson, as has been reported about 12 billion times.

Don't let the facts get in the way of good "sauce" jokes. I sure don't :)
