Now, Jeff Adelson from the New Orleans Advocate reports on New Orleans City Councilman Jay Banks rushing to defend the home team.
On Tuesday, New Orleans City Councilman Jay Banks rushed to the defense of his home team, implying that the mayor is just sore because the Falcons blew a 25-point lead and lost to the New England Patriots in the 2017 Super Bowl.

“It’s not our fault that they choked.”

“That’s got to be hard for them either way,” Banks said.
