NFL stars tee off in Pro-Am Golf Tournament in South Mississippi
SUMMARY: Super Bowl weekend kicked off at Hollywood Casino in Bay St. Louis with a pro-am golf tournament featuring 17 professional football players, including Saints legend Ricky Jackson and 12 Hall of Famers. This event sparked a long-standing debate about which team had the better linebacking corps: the Giants’ “Big Blue Wrecking Crew” or the Saints’ “Dome Patrol.” Jackson jokingly noted the Giants’ Super Bowl wins as the differentiator. The tournament also included football icons like Jerome Bettis, Marshall Faulk, Bruce Smith, and Joe Horn. Excitement for Super Bowl weekend permeated both New Orleans and the Mississippi Coast.
