Saints and the
City
In this era it is hard to find players interested in bettering the team instead
of themselves (Marching In, Jan. 22). Drew Brees chose New Orleans because of
the chance to help rebuild. Deuce McAllister mentored Reggie Bush while seeing
his own playing time split. And Bush has done as much for the city off the
field as on. Thanks, Saints.

EDITOR'S NOTE:
Among Polonius's many pearls of wisdom from Hamlet: To thine own self be
true.
Correction
A caption in the Feb. 5 story The South Has Risen mistakenly referred to the
Panthers, rather than the Carolina Hurricanes, as winning last year's Stanley
Cup.
Flower Power
How fun to revisit the Great One's covers (PLAYERS, Jan. 22)! However, SPORTS
ILLUSTRATED's best Gretzky "coverage" had to be in the summer of 1988
when Janet Jones and Wayne graced your pages exiting the church after their
wedding. I took that picture to my florist to have the bouquet re-created for
my October 1988 wedding. "This is a first," she said. "No bride has
ever brought me SPORTS ILLUSTRATED before!"
