"G" to my grandkids. "Pops" to my sons. Who Dat for Life. Lunatic optimist.

This #MemorialDay, I invite all Louisianans to honor those brave individuals who have given the ultimate sacrifice. 11,000 flags, representing LA men and women who gave their lives in service to our country, have been placed in front of the Capitol to honor the fallen. #lagov

When did NBA refs start officiating NFL games?

[Mark Lorando @MarkLorando]

It’s my annual thank you to @TPrice504 and @BrettEats for convincing me that a one-hour wait on a Monday night for a $32 blackened grouper sandwich is totally worth it.

[Mark Lorando @MarkLorando]

@BootKreweMedia 💯 … and I don’t blame the refs, who have an impossible job. I blame the league for refusing to make a video official part of every crew. Booth-initiated reviews of blown calls should have been in place a decade ago. At least.

[Mark Lorando @MarkLorando]

For the record … Vikings offense gained 8 yards on their 75-yard winning “drive.”

[Mark Lorando @MarkLorando]

Officiating is ruining the #NFL for me. These games have basically become unwatchable.

[Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov]

Today marks 2 years since Hurricane Laura made landfall in SW Louisiana. Lake Charles is still enduring the road to recovery that is all too familiar for Louisiana families. But every day we are making progress, and we won’t stop until all our communities are whole again. #lagov

[Mark Lorando @MarkLorando]

That sure didn’t look like a first drive of preseason drive. Wowza.

[Mark Lorando @MarkLorando]

Oh, man. A real gentle giant. This hurts. 💔

How bout a TED Talk preparing boy dads for their granddaughter’s first dance recital? 🤯🤯🤯

[Mark Lorando @MarkLorando]

@psaundersdp Patrick, so sorry for your loss. Your dad was a legend on the beat, but it’s his kindness I’ll remember. A tough journalist and a true gentleman. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

No wait for a table at Sammy’s on Saturday night … thanks Garth!

[Mark Lorando @MarkLorando]

Next time you hear New Orleans referred to as "the gateway to the Gulf of Mexico" ... picture this. Great shot @keziaasetyawan!

Thanks, y’all. @PelicansNBA
