Buying House in Dallas a Slap in face to NOLA......NOLA needs a slap in the face

Some commenters on NOLA and Saints fans think that Sean Payton buying a house in Dallas is a slap in the face of New Orleans and Louisana resident.

Well, New Orleans and Louisiana needs a SLAP in the FACE.
If you live in Mandeville, LA, it's somewhat boring. AND if you want avoid New Orleans because it's has the HIGHEST crime rate, anti-family French Quarter, and T-Shirt /  Daiquiri / Liquor Dump. And if you want to just stay alive and not get shot, life is even more BORING in Mandeville, Louisiana.  Ask former Saints coach Jim Mora (and Jim Finks) when there were HELD UP at GUN POINT in the coaches home!!!!

But people say New Orleans is exciting. Well, yes, it's different, but SHALLOW.
It's all about alcohol, alcohol, and more alcohol with drugs.

So what mom wants to raise their kids in an area where other kids only ambition in life is to get in to a bar and drink. Seriously!

Guess what NOLA residents? life does not revolve around alcohol and gambling.

But let's briefly delve into the  kind of conversations that take place in the Mandeville, LA community. It goes something like, "let's get a drink, goto a bar, where is the cheapest keg?"

Or, "We have a party this weekend, and guess what? We have BEER!!!!"

The topic of conversation is same old thing all over NOLA.
"Who got shot, who got killed driving drunk, what politician got indicted, or what short-sided mixed level housing thing had it's funds embezzled, or the token delay, excuse, delay, excuse in levee protection."


And if you add in gambling, it goes something like, "I was up 200 dollars on the video poker machine..." Or I had "so-and-so hand playing black jack..."

Basically, the same old alcohol or gambling conversation week in and week out in Mandeville when you hook up with the residents in Mandeville, LA.....regardless of the school you send you kids to.
