Governor Jeff Landry has been in Greenland this week to make as many friends as possible, according to what he told a Danish media outlet. Jeff Palermo has the story.
Cut 1 (34) “…I’m Jeff Palermo.”
Well, five months ago, we didn’t get a White Christmas, so a wet Memorial Day may have to do. The National Weather Service says much of Louisiana could get an entire month’s worth of rainfall over the next five to seven days. Furthermore, it says all the rainfall will not come with any threat of severe weather.
LSU men’s basketball coach Will Wade is taking heat for reportedly signing a player who previously signed an NBA contract. R.J. Luis (“Louis”) signed a two-way contract with the Utah Jazz after going undrafted. Tiger Rag Editor Glenn Guilbeau says there’s a good chance the NCAA will say Luis is ineligible, but LSU can challenge that ruling in court.
If Congressman Cleo Fields has any say, he would urge Luis to stay away. That’s because he and the rest of the Congressional Black Caucus are urging athletes to avoid playing for schools in states which are diluting the power of Black voters through redistricting. Fields says Black athletes being recruited by SEC schools, including LSU, need to think twice.
