Peyton Manning and Eli ?, two sports stars, came to visit the Astrodome. Looks like people were cheered up by their visit. (WLL)
(Can you tell I don't follow sports much?)
They are Native Loosianans that play Pro Football (Qbacks) for the Colts and Giants I think. They are brothers and are the Sons of former Saints QB Archie Manning.
Yes. Their dad used to play for the Saints. Just talked to a friend of mine in Houma. Apparently Archie Manning is on the ground in NO and the Manning family is involved in helping people coming out of NO -- all of them. My friend is PO'd at the Saints and says many there feel the same way. After they have supported the losing franchise through thick and thin owner Benson took them to San Antonio and didn't cancel the pre-season game when all the players and organization could have been helping with the disaster.
My friend also thinks Blanco screwed everything up and Bush is furious with the whole debacle. Bush took command and put the general in charge. Word is he told Blanco and Nagin to shut up.
