I agree with you on that part, I absolutely disagree with many of Sloan’s play calls.

Personally I think he does. I believe Underwood is probably a lot more rational than many of our fans who are overreacting. Has anyone thought that maybe most of the current roster cannot be coached to perform better than they are right now? Like another poster said, this coaching staff together is yet to have its own class come in yet, and we are set to get a lot of talent this off-season (certainly in part because Underwood is committed here).

You want to fire Sloan and Underwood to decommit?

Did you just put Lil' Wayne ahead of Satchmo and Fats?

I just copied what the AI said, but if we are talking about the most famous right now, Lil Wayne has 37.5 million monthly streamers on Spotify, whereas Fats and Armstrong have 1.2 and 11.4 million streamers per month respectively. So by that metric it isn't even close, but personally I like all three very much.

I asked ChatGPT to rank who it thinks are the top 10 most famous people from New Orleans and this is what it gave me:

Tier 1: Extremely Famous and Culturally Relevant
Lil Wayne – Widely recognized as one of the most influential rappers of the 21st century. He remains relevant through both music and pop culture appearances.
Peyton Manning – A legendary NFL quarterback with a comedic media persona post-retirement. His TV commercials, NFL broadcasts, and general charisma make him universally known.
Ellen DeGeneres (Metairie) – Despite her controversies, Ellen remains well-known. Her career as a talk show host and comedian solidifies her place in public consciousness.

Tier 2: Well-Known but Not Always Top of Mind
Louis Armstrong – While Armstrong is arguably one of the greatest musicians of all time, general knowledge about him has faded slightly, especially among younger generations.
Lee Harvey Oswald – Infamously tied to the JFK assassination, he is known more for the event than his New Orleans roots, though conspiracy theorists and history buffs ensure his name remains alive.
Tyler Perry – While more synonymous with Atlanta, Perry’s ties to New Orleans make him worth mentioning. His cultural impact through films, shows, and media ventures is enormous.
Anthony Mackie – As the actor behind Falcon in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Mackie has become quite recognizable, particularly among younger fans.

Tier 3: Influential but Niche Audiences
Harry Connick Jr. – Known for his music and acting career, Connick remains beloved but appeals more to an older demographic and jazz enthusiasts.
Fats Domino – Like Armstrong, his contributions to music are monumental, but he may not be as well known among younger audiences.

Honorable Mentions
Reese Witherspoon – She has New Orleans connections through family, though she isn’t typically thought of in that context.
Eli Manning – Famous but overshadowed by Peyton in terms of public persona and post-NFL life.

I know that this storm will likely not be as bad, but does anyone know what the strength of Ida was this many hours out from landfall?

re: Is Beverly Hills worth seeing?

Posted by BugaNaish on 8/13/24 at 12:23 pm

I personally prefer Malibu more, but you should definitely check out Beverly Hills. If you're willing to splurge on a nice meal, I recommend CUT in the Beverly Wilshire or Matsuhisa. Take a stroll down Rodeo Dr. or drive through the hills in Bel Air near the UCLA area in Holmby Hills/Westwood very close by. Maybe check out the Getty in Brentwood as well if you have time.

BTW, most people in 90210 voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020

FOX8 — Supplying a High: Louisiana becomes first state to ban retail sale of nitrous oxide

quote:
Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry on Tuesday (May 28) signed into law a new measure to regulate the sale of nitrous oxide, following a series of Fox 8 reports.

quote:
The new law prohibits the sale of nitrous oxide in stores, increases penalties and fines for violators, and grants the Alcohol and Tobacco Control (ATC) greater authority to enforce these regulations. The measure seeks to address the growing use of nitrous oxide, particularly among young people. It will go into effect Aug. 1.

quote:
Nitrous oxide, intended for use in dental offices and in making whipped cream, is increasingly being misused as a recreational drug.

quote:
“This is a public safety bill that we hope further protects kids, so parents aren’t affected by this. One way to help them is to make sure the ability to get these substances is limited,” Gov. Landry said.

Well, we are finally first at something :nana:
