Hurricane threat forces Saints out of town

 
A hurricane has driven the Saints out of New Orleans again. They don't plan on being gone nearly as long this time. With Hurricane Gustav bearing down on the Gulf Coast three years after Katrina swamped New Orleans, the Saints left Saturday for Indianapolis, where they will spend the week preparing for the Sept. 7 opener against Tampa Bay. The Saints will practice at the Colts' new Lucas Oil Stadium. Their schedule wasn't immediately known, although meetings were set for Sunday at their hotel. (link)
