Keith Esparros

THE PUTRID PELICANS: This team doesn’t just lose. They get blown out night after night. They’re never even in a game after the first 2 minutes. Just awful.

THE PELICAN PROBLEM: By my count, the team is 1-7 in games decided by 3 points or less. They were 2-10 in their last 12 home games. They were up by 5 in the 4th qtr tonight and again, no one steps up to get the win. When they need a clutch play, who delivers?

STILL BLIND: The NFL officials must hate the Baltimore Ravens as much as they hate the Saints.

FAN FEELINGS: This sums it up well.

Absolutely My Burner Account @blacketernals

Attn: @GregBensel @ShaneikaDabney @DLauscha and the rest of @Saints brass… What the fans, media, and Saints players are telling you is that they don’t believe in Dennis Allen or Derek Carr, collectively or individually. Former players are even calling out the failures.

HALLOWEEN HORSEPLAY: NOPD mounted patrol makes its way through uptown New Orleans https://t.co/Qa6SUOfL1B

BY THE NUMBERS: Dennis Allen’s record as a head coach is 18 wins against 42 losses. His teams have never finished higher than 3rd in their divisions. I think that says it all.

NO ABSENCE OF FANS: The line for the Los Angeles premiere of Case Esparros’ new movie stretched around the block. Keep an eye for the movie coming to your town. The title is: The Absence of Milk in the Mouths of the Lost. https://t.co/KBS0X2vS31

FEST FAVES: Some may claim a bias, but the two acts that blew away the crowd on the first two days of the Newport Jazz Fest were Jon Batiste and Big Freeda, both New Orleans products. https://t.co/W2C3uP3jTo

FREEDIA FEST: New Orleans own Big Freedia absolutely killing it at the Newport Jazz Festival. https://t.co/YHC9gs1cfc

SNOW-MYSTERY: One of the two magic Sno-Bliz machines is no longer in its appointed place. I’m told it’s safe, and in use at an “event”. https://t.co/X4Lb45QwcL

BOTTOM LINE: Just got to Hansen’s. Only 16 people ahead of me. THAT’S a win at Hansen’s. I should get my snowball in about 45 minutes! https://t.co/CoJKKJFRGT

REALLY? NOLA crime still out of hand, streets look worse than those in Eastern Ukraine, Mayor Cantell gets busted for flying first class on taxpayer money, and she does it again? This time for a conference no other US Mayor felt compelled to attend? She's leaving quite a legacy.

BOIL WATER ADVISORY LIFTED: Councilperson Patricia McCarty says the boil water advisory for the Fort St. Leon Neighborhood HAS BEEN LIFTED.
