n'awlins saints & da fairgroun's (1 Viewer)

[BRAINFREEZE]

anyone hear the front office show on wwl radio, and wdsu sports on television tonight? seems our drew, sean, ben (hales, saints exec) mickey (loomis, saints exec), along with jaws and jimmy buffett own a piece of a racehorse running tomorrow at the fairgrounds. i didn't catch the horse's name. drew (presser) says he's seen pix of the horse. that's about all he knows. mickey (front office show on wwl) says he knows nothing about horse racing, either, but will check it out tomorrow at the fairgrounds t'giving day opening. the jockey/horse will wear #9. they didn't say what color silks, but black and gold wouldn't be too far off, i'd imagine.

is this a distraction? nothing? something? a "what were they thinking??!" i'd be interested to hear what others think of this.

trying to find a written link, but surely i'm not the only one who heard and saw this tonight?

Go here. Pics of the horse and Payton fishing with Jimmy Buffet, among others.

Pulaski County is the horse's name. FWIW.

what would suck is if that Saint horse loses to half the horses on the track, seems to be a tale-tale sign of things in black and gold.

Does that mean Polaski County came 3rd?

...Does that mean Polaski County came 3rd?

Yep. And paid $3.40 to show.

wdsu showed clips from the racetrack. loomis and drew were there with the jockey and some other guys.

 

[jazzjack]

They should stop horsing around and play some football. By the way, can this horse backpetal?

 

[jazzjack]

Is this the same jockey that showed up at training camp or the practice facility?
