Cvitanovich says if Shough can play football as well as he can charm people, he'll be a winner in no time.

The French Quarter trash contract saga is so wild. Nobody has done more to make sense of it than Newell!

ICYMI: Kelvin went through some stuff last night 👶🏽💦

The Saints have drafted a QB in Round 2 for the first time in history - are you excited about the pick?

Kelvin Banks give his first WHO DAT as a New Orleans Saint, as per WWL Draft Fest tradition… hard to hear, but it was a good one. Welcome to NOLA, Kelvin!

The Cajun Cannon is “All in on Aaron Rodgers”… you heard it here first, folks…although he went onto say “but just for 2025.” You want Aaron Rodgers under center for the Saints?

A quarter million people are in Green Bay for the NFL Draft this year. Can New Orleans handle that on top of the first weekend of Jazz Fest?

Another big OT! What do you think of the pick, Who Dats?

A star wide receiver? A do-it-all tight end? How about a quarterback of the future? Maybe an edge rusher to help the transition on the defensive side of the ball? It's all on the table. From @jeffnowak.bsky.social

New from @ianhoch.bsky.social: "All patriotic Americans left, right and center should see this situation for what it is using ideas we all understand. Here’s eight reasons why Mr. Abrego Garcia needs to come back to the US immediately."

Our friend and colleague David Blake was the voice of WWL news in the mornings for 30 years before his retirement in 2019, on the 30th anniversary of his first day at the Big 870. He passed away over the weekend at 71.

The timing is fascinating, with the Saints set to pick at No. 9 overall in the NFL draft later this month and widely believed to be in the quarterback market.

New from @ianhoch.bsky.social on cuts to Meals on Wheels: "These programs aren’t “waste.” They are not “fraud.” They are harm reduction. They are crisis prevention. They prevent us from having to pay five dollars tomorrow for what we could cover with one dollar today."

"Is he the future of this team? No," WWL's Mike Detillier said on Monday, noting that Carr's record as a Saint hangs around the .500 mark. "You know what you have with Derek Carr. It's not going to be any better."

"I think it’s a lot of people’s first go-around with [a full-blown coaching search] in the building," Jahri Evans said, "and I’m here now, representing the Saints and my job is to, you know, get my notes on these guys, help these guys be better.”

17 members of the Louisiana State Legislature are threatening to pull funding for the Superdome if the Super Bowl halftime show is not "family friendly" despite the fact that no one affiliated with the Superdome has anything to do with the production of the halftime show.

Everywhere else, it was just Tuesday

If Endymion were this weekend, would the Krewe of Chad be out here?

Delayed because of the New Year's Day Bourbon St. attack, a federal judge today hears the joint motion by the Department of Justice and city of New Orleans to begin the end of the consent decree.

Bobby Hebert: "The more I look at it ... we’re at the bottom of the totem pole. We’re not gonna be able to pick who we want, because the ones we might want, they might pick another team."

"I was very impressed with what I was exposed to in the last couple of hours in terms of what has been done up to now for the Super Bowl and for Mardi Gras."

"I predict this will be the safest one ever," Mardi Gras Guide founder Arthur Hardy said. "There will be so much attention put over us."

“Substantial things are going to have to change with how we deal with the French Quarter,” JP Morrell said

Tommy Tucker: "You're a U.S. senator for the love of God. Act like it because it seems contradictory: calling for unity while making cheap political points at a press conference."

"The Saints are right now swimming with the league’s bottomfeeders, that’s just being honest," Bobby Hebert said on WWL Radio this week. "It's pro football. It's not PE class, you've got to hold the organization accountable."

Here's a look at the Islamic State group, its current status, and some of the offshoot armed groups and so-called lone wolves that have killed under the Islamic State flag.

President Biden: "There is no justification for violence of any kind, and we will not tolerate any attack on any of our nation’s communities."

"It was intentional," NOPD chief Anne Kirkpatrick said, adding that the suspect was "hellbent on creating the carnage" that she says he created. "This man was trying to run over as many people as he could. It was not a DUI situation."

"I’m just appreciative of all the fans. ... The city of New Orleans has always rocked with us," Saints defensive lineman Cam Jordan said, "even in a piss poor season like this one."

"I think I’m being honest with this, when people say 'Oh, we just need to tweak this, tweak that.' ... Yea, tweak nothing," Bobby Hebert said after the Saints loss. "We need an overhaul, a rebuild, however you want to describe it."

Bobby Hebert: “Why would they put the Saints on primetime next year? If I’m an executive -- now, maybe they might be forced to put you on Thursday Night Football, but why would they put the Saints on Sunday or Monday Night Football?"

The cold is almost here

Good news for the 2025 crawfish season

New Orleans police are looking for clues after three people were shot Sunday night in a triple shooting that left one victim dead.

"We talked during the drive if we liked our 2-point plays and all that, so when we scored there was no doubt in my mind we were going to go for 2 and go for the win,” Saints coach Darren Rizzi said.
