The New Orleans Saints sent out a "Thank you New Orleans" video via email and social media Saturday to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. The video will also be shown on the video boards before Sunday’s preseason game against the Houston Texans in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
The video includes messages from Coach Sean Payton, general manager Mickey Loomis, former Saints running back Deuce McAllister and the four players who have been with the team since 2006 -- Drew Brees, Marques Colston, Zach Strief and Jahri Evans.
Among other things, they thanked the city "for giving us the greatest home-field advantage in the NFL, for refusing to give up and always believing in the city and in us."
