Saints had an 11 point lead with 5 minutes remaining in the third quarter. The team failed to execute and did not put the Raiders away. Horrendous 4th Q with 4 turnovers, allowing the Raiders to score 19 unanswered points.. Gotta learn how to close the deal when you’re leading by 2 scores

you know that how?
As a public institution , LSU releases salary information for ALL employees which are hired by the State of Louisiana. This was published in December 2025 by the LSU board of supervisors … Blake Baker salary $400,000 base salary + $2,600,000 supplemental compensation = $3,000,000 per year.
If you work for the State, your annual salary is public knowledge.

Where is Cajun Prairie located?
Pretty sure the poster is referencing the Cajun Prairie geographic region - orange circle below. Comprised of Evangeline , Acadia, and St. Landry Parishes.
The Acadian defendants who reside in that area know how to smoke meat, and make awesome sausage and Ponce.

I grew up with the Pettit’s as Robert was in my HS graduating class. His bday was during Basketball season as Mr Bob would take a suburban full of kids to an LSU game every year. A lifetime of memories from swim meets, HS sports, sleep overs, spending weekends at New Orleans CC, too many to list. Such a humble man and gentle giant. RIP Mr Bob, a true Tiger Legend

They are opening about 175 new stores in the US in 2026
Starbucks built a brand new coffee shop on Johnston St (Lafayette) last year. It never opened and sits unoccupied. Homeless people have started sleeping on the covered porch and using it as a home. Guess they want to be the first in-line whenever it opens :lol:

First timer! We are heading to New Orleans for a long weekend in mid-September.
Got here on Thursday and have had a great weekend so far.
Hoops, thank you and your wife for coming to N.O., spending your hard-earned money while having a great time taking in what the city has to offer. :cheers: Impossible to do everything in 3 days, but at least you got a taste of it. As you likely found out, N.O. is very laid back and moves at a slower pace. People are friendly (compared to Northern cities) and want you to have a great time. Alcohol, food, and music are the primary "things to do" amongst the locals and visitors.
I shared your same desire to explore a new city 15 years ago. Reached out to my second cousins who live in the Chicago suburbs (Irving Woods, Schiller Woods, Western Dunning area) and have visited the Windy City ten different times to enjoy the food, music, and museum scene. If you ask the locals about WTD, places to visit/eat, and use common sense, you won't become a statistic and get shot in the South Side of Chicago or New Orleans East. Thank you again for visiting, and come back again during one of the cooler months. Both cities are very similar sharing common theme of great music and food.
Rouses should carry it

Those news anchors in Lafayette don't make any money.
Lafayette and other small markets are merely a stepping stone for those wanting to get into the news media business for the long term. Get your degree, start out in Lafayette for 2 years, and then move on to a bigger market and better paying job at a different station.
Some even change careers to being a public spokesperson or public information officer. Few names the come to mind that moved on from Laf: Mike Steele & Lori Meaux Steele (KLKFY->WBRZ->Livingston Parish Sheriffs Office), Tracy Wirth (LPSB), Valeri Ponsetti (LPSO). David Begnaud made the big time working for CBS News
that's because KADN, KATC, and KLAF are all owned by the same parent company - Gray Media. Smart move to cut the fat and save money on broadcast journalists. No need to pay 9 meteorologists when you can pay 3 to do the same job. KLFY still is king in Lafayette since the other 3 stations went woke.

How did the Saints stop Derrick Henry?
as noted above, the Baltimore OC stopped Derrick Henry. Horrible play calling. In the 3Q: Henry had 4 carries for 15 yds. In the 4Q, 1 carry 2 yds. He needs 25 carries a game to wear out the defense, and bust a 40+ yd run. Crazy that his longest carry was 8 yds. He had 10 carries for 5 yds or less including a -2 yd carry.

You're 2 hours late :lol: .... Every parking spot was full at 7:15am when I drove by for work. Police directing traffic IN/OUT and the line of people in front of building was probably 100 people deep. INSANITY :crazy:

Is fhat a bolt action?
If I had to guess, the shooter is using an FX Impact MK III PCP .22 cal. air rifle which utilizes a Fortner style action like the Anschutz Olympic biathlon rifles. I've got an FX Impact Mk II .30 cal. that shoots 44.8 gr pellets at 900-925 fps for 35 shots. . Compact, very little noise since your shooting compressed air, and accurate for headshots out to 100 yds. Pics of what they look like

Arlington cemetery
final resting spot for my grandfather who served in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam.
I've never seen so many grown arse men obsessed with a "LOSER" sports media journalist, and then whine on social media how he hurt your feelings. That dude is living rent free in your head, and you continue to support his show/employment.

What a joke of a journalist.
The joke's on you for watching this babbling idiot. You watching the show increases his viewership ratings, thus giving him job security and a $5,000,000 per year salary.

Hopefully this brings some good to the towns of Franklin and Baldwin. I have heard though, that this place is poaching all of Metal Sharks fabricators...
The former Franklin Gulf Craft yard appeared to be struggling with very little activity in recent years before the Saronic Technologies acquisition in April 2025. Meanwhile Metal Shark/Gravois was booming and sold out to Magnet Defense in Jan. 2026. Proximity wise, you could throw a rock from the MS yard and hit the ST yard as they're only separated by the Hwy 90 bridge.
Both shipbuilding companies are direct competitors relying on Gov't contracts to build military and unmanned autonomous vessels. Just 2 years ago, Metal Shark secured a $300M Navy contract to build 75 patrol boats over 7 years.
Amazing story how Jimmy Gravois started out building custom aluminum fishing boats in the early 80's and now he's worth many millions. Always said if I ever win the PB and have stupid money I will buy a MS Fearless fishing boat
