00:00So, one last NHL story, the league recently met with a group interested in bringing an
00:07expansion team to New Orleans.
00:10And I have gone on record this week as saying, you know, we were just there, SportsGrid,
00:14setting the bar at the Super Bowl Radio Row for SB59 with the Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs.
00:23And I said when we got back, not when I was there, but I said when we got back, I said,
00:29I just, I can't even believe they have an NBA team there because it's really, it's an
00:36awful team.
00:39I think it's an awful franchise.
00:41I think they've screwed everything up.
00:43They've screwed up Zion Williamson.
00:45They've screwed up Anthony Davis.
00:47What haven't they screwed up?
00:49And secondly, let's just face facts.
00:52It's a, it's a very dangerous place.
00:56I think Bourbon Street, like it's, you know, it is what it is, but it's, it's actually
01:00hell on earth.
01:02It's you know, I walked outside my hotel in 30 seconds.
01:06I saw fentanyl, cocaine, prostitution, heroin.
01:10I saw people going to the bathroom right in the middle of the street.
01:14I saw giant horses crapping all over the street.
01:18I saw them dragging people by handcuffs, by the ends of horses and ropes.
01:24Like I thought I was in a, like a bad movie.
01:27I just do not believe that it's a safe place.
01:31And I know people love the Crescent City.
01:34I know they love the jazz and the food is absolutely remarkable.
01:38The restaurants there are second to none.
01:40It's just fantastic food.
01:41But when it comes to sports, I have to be honest.
01:44I believe that the saints should be there and nothing else.
01:49Couldn't agree more.
01:50You said it perfectly.
01:52New Orleans, beautiful cafes, great people, but you know, murder capital, very dangerous.
01:56You don't want to get off the main areas.
01:58You're a dead man.
02:00It's just that simple.
02:01It really sucks because it has the history and Gabe brought up a great point.
02:03Very similar to the French Quarter, like Montreal, the old cobblestone and stuff.
02:07It's beautiful.
02:08But the violence and the problems down there, it's unbelievable.
02:11And by the way, NHL, you're talking about New Orleans as one of the worst ideas I've
02:15ever heard.
02:16Like literally, Kansas City, Cleveland, if you weren't going to do the States.
02:19And what about Quebec City?
02:20Like, are you going to spit in these guys' faces some more?
02:23Like really?
02:24That was great.
02:25Yeah, you take away the Nordiques, you're talking about getting a hockey team in New
02:28Orleans.
02:29You can't even get a basketball team to work.
02:30Like, who the hell?
02:31What is this expansion?
02:32Oh, we got to go down here and there and there.
02:35Like, it's just, man, that idea sucks.
02:37If I was in the boardroom, Scott, I'd throw like water on the guy, coffee.
02:40So you're fired.
02:41They've already expanded so many times, I feel like a Band-Aid.
02:46I don't even need any more teams in the NHL.
