~William Layton Roaf, bitches. For the second time in three years, it's gonna be one hell of a banner weekend down at the World's Biggest Juicer. In what's clearly become a full-blown biannual tradition at this point, another Saint is joining the pantheon of all-time NFL greats. Next up in 2014, Morten Andersen. Then in 2016, Aaron Brooks. But there will be plenty of time to bask in their greatness later. This weekend, it's all about Big Willie.

~There are a total of 14,500 levees included in the National Levee Database, according to an Army Corps spokesman. The levees are built and certified to Army Corps standards -- which require levees to withstand floods that occur once every 100 years. As much as 85 percent of the nation's levees are maintained by state and local governments, or the private sector, and the federal government is responsible for maintaining the remaining 15 percent. The Army Corps doesn't conduct flood modeling based upon the differences among periodic inspections of the levees in its Levee Safety Program, a spokesman for the Army Corps said.
