I'm In 2.0 There's no new name yet, but that's not stopping the Hornets from swarming the city with more advertising. In the first Tom Benson edition of New Orleanians you may or may not recognize saying that they're "in," we find ourselves looking for clues about the next name. Look, there's an alligator. Oh, a local McDonald's owner...so much for the Seafood Dome. Susan Spicer. The Jimmy Graham. Bag of Donuts!? Will we see any of these likenesses on the court? Only time will tell. Until then, get in like it was the first time, and watch the video here. NoDef Nods: In, Out, and What's NextHot and Not in 2011, and Who to Watch in 2012 In 2011, a lot of the old maxims about New Orleans' resistance to change got thrown out the window. From Freret Street to Mayor Mitch's office to the Krewe of Chewbacchus, the City showed us that changing with the times, if not desired, is at the very least inevitable and therefore necessary. Waters around us have grown and all that. To be sure, many of the old vanguards of the city will live on past this period. But there are a few who came later that didn't live up to the hype. That doesn't mean they won't be back around again. As EWE taught us, you can always come back and marry someone who makes you look good. So, without further rambling, here's a list of who's in and who's out in 2011, and what to look out for in 2012. Haters DeniedWhy Two New Offensive Weapons Make the Saints Even Easier to Love The successful Saints look much the same this year as they have in the last two campaigns, but two new pieces of the winning formula are not like their predecessors. NoDef Guest Writer Grandmaster Wang of moosedenied explains why that's good a thing. Sean Payton Coaching Hurt Saints tight end, Jimmy Graham, has been filling up the stat sheet this year. But it's tough to earn points with the coach when you drill him on the sideline. In a first half play during Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Bucaneers, Graham caught a short pass and turned it into an 11-yard gain. But as Graham muscled the defender into the sideline, he was pushed into head coach Sean Payton. The Saints report the head coach suffered a knee injury on the play, suffering a torn MCL and tibial plateau fracture. For the rest of the game, he will coach and call plays from the booth.
