Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Orleans has long been a city fixated on its own history and culture. Founded in 1718 by the French, transferred to the Spanish in the 1763 Treaty of Paris, and sold to the United States in 1803, the city’s culture, law, architecture, food, music, and language share the influence of all three countries. This cultural mélange also manifests in the city’s approach to sport, where each game is steeped in the city’s history. Tracing that history from the early nineteenth century to the present, while also surveying the state of the city’s sports historiography, New Orleans Sports places sport in the context of race relations, politics, and civic and business development to expand that historiography—currently dominated by a text that stops at 1900—into the twentieth century, offering a modern examination of sports in the city.

Book excerpt: "Perfect for football fans of all stripes, this dual-focus portrait celebrates the winning power of strong bonds between coach and player." —Publishers Weekly A rare, behind the scenes? look at the New Orleans Saints over more than 14 seasons In 2006, Sean Payton arrived in New Orleans as a relatively unknown first time NFL head coach. His task was daunting: resurrect a Saints team that had just finished 3–13 and had won only one playoff game in the previous four decades. Meanwhile, the city was undergoing its own staggering rebuild following the devastation of Hurricane Katrina five months earlier. Payton knew that to turn around the Saints' fortunes, he needed to turn around their dreadful quarterback legacy. The Saints targeted a San Diego Chargers castoff they hoped would become the new face of their franchise: Drew Brees. Every team in the NFL had passed on Brees at least once because of his surgically repaired right shoulder or his lack of prototypical size. But for the Saints, Brees was worth the risk. Together, these two underdogs rolled up their sleeves and got to work, helping rebuild the city as they transformed the franchise from laughingstock to Super Bowl Champions. What they have done since, including building the most productive offense the NFL has ever seen and setting multiple passing and scoring records, has only deepened their legacy in New Orleans and throughout the league. Based on more than 14 years of firsthand reporting and dozens of interviews with players, coaches, and executives,?Payton and Brees is the definitive account of how Sean Payton and Drew Brees transformed a team, a city, and the game of football.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just as their season was due to get underway. New Orleans' only college football team was forced by Katrina to evacuate and then relocate several times before settling in the northeast Louisiana town of Ruston for the balance of their season. For four months, the team battled doubt, fear, and uncertainty, playing "home" games on the road while they pondered if New Orleans would ever feel like home again. While each of Tulane's players dealt with a distinct sense of loss that season, several of the players native to New Orleans were hit the hardest as family homes were left uninhabitable and families were scattered across the South. Led by their strong-willed head coach, Chris Scelfo, the team learned the definition of perseverance as they struggled to stoke their competitive fires on the field while their lives remained in disarray off it. Benjamin Hochman, an award-winning journalist for The Times-Picayune, spent the 2005 Tulane season on the road with the team. Book jacket.
