This is actually a pretty good stat all things considered
The form was simply giving the “no party” folks the ability to vote in the closed primary for either the Democrat or Republican candidate or simply stay no party and just vote for state amendments.

Very reasonable to me!

I would say it’s probably more because the administration has received a ton of complaints about parking.


Nah they just randomly target LV. My cousin got a ticket for parking their own car slightly on the grass over the curb in front of their house facing the correct direction.
We get it. Law Enforcement was alerted but it also sounds like Bishop may have also tried to tell someone not to go to police. There is also a claim that other protocols were not followed.

It obviously was reported. If you read the article is appears that BR diocese also did not follow protocol hence the review.
Did you read the Pillar article and not just the WBRZ Article? The Pillar article gives much more context.
The article in the OP is poorly written imo. The Pillar article the OP article mentions gives a lot more context.

Pillar Article
This is all a bit confusing. So they are investigating whether or not the Diocese pressured someone not to go to police but at the same time the Diocese shared what they knew with the police?

They are shutting down the parks with the biggest spaces/fields and consolidating the larger numbers of kids at the smaller parks.


If they were going to consolidate Cleary and Bright into 1 playground, Bright was the obvious choice and honestly cleary’s footprint probably would be good for tennis complex. My understanding is that JP couldn’t convert Cleary bc of legal reasons related to how the Cleary land was turned over to the parish.

When I grew up playing at Lakeshore, It was always between us, Girard or Bright...


My Miley banners say otherwise! Seriously though, Cleary would actually have made more sense to convert to something else and send everyone to Bright but my understanding is that the donation of land fo Cleary to exist prevents the land from being used for anything other than a JPRD park.

Imo, JPRD’s waiver decision and eliminating “districts” for in parish people exacerbated issues. Lakeshore and Girard who already had rather large #s got tons of waivers from Lakeview and Kenner. Then allowing people to make a one time choice of any available JPRD park led to even more movement. The parish could have directed waivers to parks with lower #s but large footprints (Jefferson, Bright, and Delta).
No. This decision outlaws race based gerrymandering.

Those pitchers are still playing travel ball, so how can you say the pitching in rec ball is more competitive when the kids who are pitching good all play travel ball?


He said why. The mound is at 46’. Most 12U travel ball throws from at least 50’. That’s a big difference.

That being said, OP is probably referring to the Eastbank LL who is allowed to pull an Allstar team from essentially all of Metairie and possibly even the River Parishes. It will always be an insanely good team that basically has a decent shot every year to make it to LLWS or at least the regional games which are also on ESPN.

We traded a coin flip roster spot for someone who was the 7th pick overall 3 years ago. Seems a worthwhile gamble to me


Who has also shown improvement. Seems like a no brainer to me.
Honestly I think Brown is more for return abilities than anything

That being said, our WR room outside of Olave was a bunch of journeymen at best level players.
Bc that’s a proven tactic to break up a group that would otherwise be aligned. Do y’all not remember Covid??

Being on the same weekend as Hogs for the Cause probably didn't help attendance.


Agree but more bc of the weather than Hogs (I think part of the big draw for Hogs is the great outdoor weather of early April in Nola). I think you should save this type of event for May, June, July, August when the heat is high and people will be looking to spend a day inside the Superdome’s AC.

Scheduling indoor events in Nola in March and April isn’t the best strategy.
I mean you also need to look where the highest concentrations of athletes reside. They will stay closer to home unless there is a reason (NIL $) to move farther from home.

Were SEC teams were doing shady things? Yeah probably But so were the Big 10 schools. The difference now I believe that since paying players is “legal” the payments are getting MUCH higher and much more spread out among all the players.

We’re fricking 4-5 in SEC, unranked, on the road. Don’t even care he was aggressive this team needs some type of momentum. If he’s safe by 1” everyone would be praising the aggressiveness


Ok. Still a dumb move.

Exactly! 2nd and 3rd with no outs. No reason to take that chance.

It’s really mind-boggling how that dumb bitch is on the Supreme Court


Is it though? The Biden Admin wanted someone who they could count on to always side their way. Also people keep saying how “dumb”she is. She seems like exactly who they wanted on the court. If she was dumb as people claim then she would make unbiased mistakes.
This was more of a bat throw than a bat flip. Personally I think he could have done a much more “taunting” style bat flip. He launched a kind of awkward top heavy object pretty much as hard as he could around a whole bunch of people.

Imo it was a dumb move not bc he was showboating but dumb bc he could have accidentally hurt someone.
