Times Picayune story about it, Saints announced it this morning, but they say the link didn't exist yet :( Hope the one above turns out to be right...

I thought BP would pay all of their lost income and if they don't Obama said he would kick some ass. That made me feel much better about the situation. CRR if you can find a better link let us know.

Try this one, no error on mine this time, but let me know if it works.

I check several companies that rank charity groups and none of them showed anything for celebrities for charity. Maybe I typed something in wrong but I could not even find them on their list of charities. I wonder whats up with that.

Guys, this has got to be the worst planning for an official announcement ever. Here is the New Orleans Saints official website announcement, and everything looks legit, but wow, it seems bogus when you poke into it...
Saints Gulf Coast Renewal Raffle Announced (http://www.neworleanssaints.com/news-and-events/article-1/Saints-Gulf-Coast-Renewal-Raffle-Announced/a9910f44-06ba-4797-8f8f-e8bc971ad7f9)

you can also go to nfl.com, pick the saints home page, and they have a link to this page.
