A view from #Louisiana....never a dull moment.

@monti_mcnulty @BillSimmons @_CharlesBarkley Dude shinn was a horrifyingly bad owner: they saved team from moving. I like having pro basketball in New Orleans.

[Scott Sternberg @ScottLSternberg]

Ms. B saved the pelicans...so forever grateful...but the team has been run into the ground by a succession of unlucky and unlikely events--and a number of the human beings that need to go.

But @BillSimmons and @_CharlesBarkley aren't on to the real problem: the locals all know that.

I disagree. I want a team in New Orleans because I live here.

I bought the entire Timberwolves trading card set way back when, just because EWE said we might get them. She saved the team because she pushed her husband, who was not a particularly beloved guy, to be generous and buy the team.

@truthlafayette What a miserable life you must lead.

[Scott Sternberg @ScottLSternberg]

Obit by TB is perfect. I loved Mike and he loved Louisiana. His body was suffering so much that I know his soul is gleaming in paradise!

May his memory be a blessing. #lalege

@truthlafayette I realize that you are a social media character, but you and I both know that everything is shades of gray, and my friend was not a terrorist. You may be a very important keyboard warrior, but he was a good guy.

[Scott Sternberg @ScottLSternberg]

@RyanLea84722757 @BillSimmons @_CharlesBarkley I’ve been a fairly consistent critic. I just acknowledge that the team wouldn’t be here if they didn’t have gobs of money, and I appreciate that.

Remember, if you grew up here, you grew up thinking we had a terrible owner. Before it was cool to think that.

[Scott Sternberg @ScottLSternberg]

@kenPOPtweets @BillSimmons @_CharlesBarkley My point isn’t contrary to that. I’m pointing out the people that would be interested in going all know the organization is a joke. And that’s bad—I would really like them to stay here.

[Scott Sternberg @ScottLSternberg]

@TheNBAinsomniac @BillSimmons @_CharlesBarkley She and Tom benson saved the team. She had a huge role in the acquisition and keeping the team here in New Orleans. They got a steal and it was a great business deal, but they were willing to do it and so they saved the team. Tom doesn’t get all the credit.

This is why I can't ever stop with this website.

Absolutely hilarious

[Scott Sternberg @ScottLSternberg]

@truthlafayette And he'd implore you accept that people are not their politics, in that you're a human before you're a republican, and being a democrat or a republican doesn't help quantify the worth of your very life. Because that means someone died and that's bad. Prick.

[Scott Sternberg @ScottLSternberg]

That's a really shitty thing to say about a guy with family and friends and a mom and a next door neighbor that hopefully don't ever have to be upset by your horrible words.

That's an opinion you have but you're wrong. And MB would probably say "well, that's an opinion you can have but what did I ever do to you, screw you right back, man."

Here's what I would say: you're a piece of shit.

[Scott Sternberg @ScottLSternberg]

@stephgracela The most honest man in the legislature! They should name that title after him.

[Scott Sternberg @ScottLSternberg]

🙏

[Scott Sternberg @ScottLSternberg]

Mike cared for me when I was in my own purgatory last year.

I will never forget him telling me that he prayed the rosary for me in Israel while I was sick … or his abject joy of finding out about an American pope while arguing in a legislative anteroom about, well, him being too honest.

I’m glad he was my friend. I’m glad he got to feel all those people love him right back.

Wow — @ONA is cancelling its annual conference and laying off most staff

[Scott Sternberg @ScottLSternberg]

I work on possible one liners/puns/humor beforehand but you’ve gotta be able to read the room. Unless you’re writing the opinion, of course, @RMFifthCircuit

[Raffi Melkonian @RMFifthCircuit]

I’ve been recently criticizing judges for making jokes in serious cases. Often folks ask me: well when is it ok?

A case about a fight between two premium tequila brands is where it’s ok.

Mantra

[no context the west wing @LemonLymancom]

“You got a best friend? Is he smarter than you? Would you trust him with your life? That's your chief of staff.”

[Scott Sternberg @ScottLSternberg]

@jmart He’s a super smart guy, had a case with him years ago!
