When are Hurricane Katrina jokes going to be acceptable?

As the NFL season kicks off this Thursday in New Orleans, football pundits are weighing in on whether the Saints can repeat as Super Bowl Champs.

One such analyst, Hall of Famer Dan Hampton, doesn't think the Saints will fare well in their season opener against Minnesota - and he used a questionable analogy to make his point.

"The Vikings need to go down there and hit that town like Katrina," the former Chicago Bears lineman proclaimed on Pro Football Weekly's television show.

Hampton issued an apology Monday night on profootballweekly.com

"It was a spur-of-the-moment comment intended strictly as a metaphor for the storm-like intensity I believe the Vikings will bring to their rematch with the Saints, and it simply never occurred to me that anyone could read anything more than that into it.

5 minutes after it was over would be ok with me.

Nawlins was a walking, talking hurricane Katrina joke days before the storm hit.
