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.

With Reggie Bush's all but complete move to the Miami Dolphins, a great Tweet, fired off in haste during the NFL Draft, has acheived prophetic status. Beating Around the Bush When rising waters are causing some concern down at NoDef HQ, we turn to New Orleans' favorite Heisman Trophy winner (& loser,) Reggie Bush to offer some relaxation. As you may remember, in our last episode, Bush had begun to alienate himself with fans through a series of tweets implying that his time in NOLA was at an end, not to mention professing his joy that the labor situation had allowed him to skip practice. Today, we turned again to his twitter to discover that RB spent much of yesterday bickering with ESPN's Skip Bayless,
