WSJ’s Crisis News Tracker is keeping a comprehensive record of the scramble to keep up with the Katrina aftermath. How comprehensive?
The New Orleans Saints beat the Carolina Panthers for their deluged city and the displaced victims of the Gulf Coast region, getting two touchdowns from Deuce McAllister and a 47-yard field goal from John Carney with 3 seconds left in a 23-20 season-opening win. “In the back of our minds, we know we have to give them one tiny bit of hope,” said New Orleans quarterback Aaron Brooks. “We have complete faith in what we are doing because every time we go out there, it is our job to give them hope that every day will be a better day.”
