Sunday Into Sugar Bowl Monday

Greetings all!

Just rolled into New Orleans with Carson Clark and Alex Lynch. 400 plus miles and about 4 of those it wasn't raining.
Nothing like driving through three states in the rain with 18-wheelers on my a** wondering why I'm not driving 90 miles in a downpour.


When you tell people "I have to go New Orleans to work the Sugar Bowl"...they say "Poor Guy! Sorry you have to do that! Poor guy hanging in the French Quarter eating oysters and jambalaya and drinking the best of the best."

Here is what we're doing now.

Standing in the rain in a hotel parking lot doing SAT feeds for various stations and looking for a fast food place.


But I'm not going to complain. Yesterday I watched "Band of Brothers" on The History Channnel all day long.
Those guys had a reason to complain on the road trip they took. We're just covering football.
Granted to Alabama fans, this is life and death. But it isn't. It's a football game.

(Phone ringing-"Hi, Is this Mr. Screws? Do you plan on playing in the Texas Hold em tournament at the casino Tuesday night?
We are confirming your reservation." Greg-"Yes, I'm going to play and don't call me at work anymore.")

There is one thing that does get old. New Orleans is unique. It tries my patience to be the only sober person in a sea or humanity...or crimson. So working these games does present a challenge.

More on the challenge later in the trip. Stay tuned.
