Falcons’ Star White Regrets Tweet About Katrina

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) — Atlanta star Roddy White says he regrets sending a Tweet referring to Hurricane Katrina as the Falcons prepare for a big game against the defending Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints.

White went on Twitter this week to complain about comments made by former quarterback-turned-TV analyst Trent Dilfer and wound up stirring the ire of fans in the Big Easy.

When White's account was peppered with harsh replies, he wrote back, "The grace of god gave them tht championship so tht city wouldn fall apart now and now they think they hot (obscenity)."

White says he's sorry for making any reference to the hurricane that ravaged New Orleans in 2005. But Saints defensive lineman Anthony Hargrove says the team is "definitely upset."
