After saying she hoped any team but New Orleans won their respective NFL conference championship games this weekend, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said she was joking.
For New Orleans City Councilmembers Jay Banks and Joe Giarrusso, however, it wasn't funny.
"At the end of the day, they shouldn't be mad at us because the suck," Banks said in The New Orleans Advocate. "It's not our fault they choked."
Giarrusso said during a Public Works Committee meeting that the Atlanta mayor should expect to see the Saints and the Who Dat Nation soon.
