Cut 26 (12) “…themselves for sleep”

A night of celebration in the Superdome went sour quickly as the Falcons spoiled the 20th anniversary of the Domecoming with a 45-24 thrashing of the Saints. New Orleans trailed by two scores for much of the game, and quarterback Tyler Shough says there’s no way to sugarcoat it.

The Department of Energy awards Entergy almost 14-million dollars in federal grants to strengthen its power grid in Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas. Kristen Granier (GRAHN-yay), the director of federal infrastructure policy at Entergy, says part of that money will be used to deploy a dynamic line rating sensor.

DCFS says 90 babies in Louisiana die in their sleep every year, with most deaths being preventable.

The pregame ceremony was a tear-jerker; the game itself brought fans to tears in a different way. The Falcons embarrassed the Saints on national television last night, 45-24. Quarterback Tyler Shough said he was hoping for a better performance under the circumstances.

Cut 12 (09) “…get that win.”

The National Hurricane Center says a tropical depression or storm could form in the Gulf later this week and threaten the northern Gulf coast.

The National Hurricane Center is now giving Invest 92 in the southwestern Gulf of America a 90-percent chance of developing into a tropical depression over the next 48 hours. National Weather Service meteorologist Donald Jones says we could see a tropical storm make landfall somewhere between Louisiana and Florida this week. Jones says the potential storm will have to battle with wind shear left over from last week’s cold front as it gets closer to the coast…

Cut 6 (11) “….through the Gulf”

If it becomes a tropical storm, it would be called Isaias (ees-ah-EE-ahs).

Disappointing night for the Saints last night as they started slow again and were never able to catch up with the Falcons and Atlanta came away with a dominating 45-24 win over New Orleans on a night the city celebrated the 20^th anniversary of the reopening of the Superdome following Katrina New Orleans is 1-and-3 and host the 4-and-0 Vikings this Sunday.

Governor Jeff Landry is calling it the next American Renaissance. That’s how he described the construction of data centers being built in Louisiana and around the country during an appearance on Fox Business.  Of course data centers can hold massive amounts of digital files, handle corporate databases and back up the cloud. Landry says this type of technology is needed in today’s world.

Cut 14 (14) “…subscribe to it.”

Not a great night for the Saints last night as the Falcons dominated the black and gold in Monday night football. It took the Falcons just three plays to take the crowd right out of the game, with Bijan Robinson scoring on a 59-yard run.

DCFS is urging parents of infants to create a safe sleep environment for their babies. According to statistics, about 90 babies die in their sleep each year in Louisiana, with most deaths being preventable. Secretary Rebecca Harris says there are several basic rules that parents always need to follow.

Cut 7 (13) “…obstruct their breathing.”

Harris says adults should never share a bed with a baby under any circumstances.

Cut 8 (12) “…themselves for sleep.”

Also, it may seem counterintuitive for adults, but you should never place pillows or blankets inside a baby’s crib. Harris says the same goes for teddy bears and other stuffed animals.

Cut 9 (13)  “…very tragic situation.”

Harris says once a baby is old enough to move into a toddler bed, then you can add pillows and stuffed animals.

The Saints make their return to national television for the first time in two years and proceed to stink up the field. On a night when they observed the 20th anniversary of the reopening of the Superdome following Hurricane Katrina, the Falcons dominated the Saints, 45-24. Head Coach Kellen Moore says it was not the performance he was looking for in front of a national TV audience.

Cut 10 (11) “…and move forward.”

There was certainly a lot of excitement before the game, with a stirring National Anthem performance by Irma Thomas, who also performed the national anthem at the Domecoming game 20 years earlier. That was followed by Steve Gleason leading the sellout crowd in the “Who Dat” chant. It took the Falcons three plays to take the crowd right out of the game, with Bijan Robinson scoring on a 59-yard run. Moore says the fact that his team laid an egg under those circumstances was especially frustrating.

Cut 11 (14) “…to catch up.”

Tyler Shough completed 30 out of 48 passes for 286 yards and a touchdown, with that touchdown pass coming late in the fourth quarter with the game well out of reach. Shough said he was hoping for a better performance under the circumstances.

Cut 12 (09) “…get that win.”

The Saints fall to 1-and-3 on the season and will try again Sunday against the Vikings in the Superdome.

LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt had his highest completion percentage of the season in the Tigers’ 63-14 win over McNeese, despite still dealing with a hamstring injury. Leavitt threw for 176 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception, and coach Lane Kiffin says his injury actually helped him stay in the pocket and deliver. He says the biggest help for his improved accuracy was better protection.

Cut 16 (16) “…play really consistent.”

Kiffin says he would be really happy about where his team is at, if it weren’t for some major injuries. He says he still feels good about the program’s future after showing the success a transfer-heavy roster put together in one offseason can have. He says the team has come together quickly.

Cut 17 (18) “…a year ago.”

The big win over McNeese let a lot of backups see extended reps. Third-string quarterback Husan Longstreet saw some action under center and at punt returner. Kiffin says he and his staff think outside the box as much as anyone.

Cut 18 (17)  “…things like that.”

Louisiana Tech makes its Sun Belt debut this week against UL Lafayette. The Bulldogs improved to 2-and-2 after a 31-29 win over Army, but the Cajuns are 4-and-1 for the first time since 2021. Tech coach Sonny Cumbie says he expects a great home atmosphere for the rivalry game.

Cut 19 (15) “…lost one game.”

Tech quarterback Trey Kukuk threw for 185 yards and ran for 40 yards and a touchdown against Army but injured his ankle near the end of the fourth quarter. Cumbie says Blake Baker, who was the starter before fracturing his hand against LSU, will start against the Cajuns.

Cut 20 (19) “…gets this week.”

The Bulldogs and Cajuns first met in 1910 but have not played since 2015. Tech has won the last eight in a row.
