Joe Horn is the man!

There was a Saint in New Orleans during the wrath of Hurricane Katrina and his name is Joe Horn, pro-football player for the New Orleans Saints. As I sat in my room at the Hilton Riverside, New Orleans, on Saturday two days before Katrina was scheduled to directly hit New Orleans, I weeped while I phoned home to North Carolina, to speak with my mother and my children. It had been confirmed that my flight was cancelled along with that of my husband and 50 others. We all were frantically trying to evacuate. I sobbed as I was told by each rental car company that there were no cars available. I thought I was trapped. But, unbeknownst to me my mother had placed a call to Joe Horn to see if he could help. I hadn't spoken to him in over 20 years. Joe was a friend of my sister's in high school and had always kept in touch with my mother. This wonderful man personally came to pick up my husband and I and arranged for his driver to drive us from New Orleans to Atlanta, Georgia, at his expense, at which point we could fly on to Fayetteville, North Carolina. I'm still amazed at his generosity and I will always be grateful to him. There is truly a saint in New Orleans!! Thank you, Joe Horn. You're my hero!!

Man thats bad a$$. Good stuff

Wow I like Joe Horn alot more now.. That is a great thing he did.. Good for him.. Atleast we still have some wonderful people in the NFL

He's on my fantasy team. Hope he tears it up this year (except against us)

joe horn...stand up guy and a great WR!

That was very nice of him, he now has another supporter in me. Good job man.

He probably went back because he forgot his cellphone under the goalpost padding again. That guy. j/k

Good for him; just shows that for every media attention seeking player in the NFL- similarity to a certain WR in Philly purely coincidental - there is another that does things for others without publicity.

That is a good-man, I tip my hat to Horn!!!!

I could not picture T-Ho doing that, he would probably want to charge her money for bothering him!

wow joe horn is a hero the nfl, and the united states needs more of those
