This is tremendous.
The world needs more Ernie Johnsons. No hot takes. No yelling. Thoughtful, intelligent, and universally beloved.
Good evidence of how ridiculous concert ticket prices are these days. Inflation says this Michael Jackson ticket at its original price is worth $65 today. If he were still around, no chance tickets would be selling for anywhere close to that cheap.
All signs are pointing good rain chances arriving on Halloween in what could be our most widespread rainfall in weeks. The rain is needed, but obviously, the timing is less than ideal.
There is still some uncertainty on exact timing, particularly relating to how late in the evening/night rains may last.
Let's keep an eye on trends...details should start to come into better focus over the next couple of days as we get within range of our high-res models.
For now, start thinking about how you'll handle trick-or-treating or other Halloween evening plans if rain is in the mix. @WAFB

France Offers to Refund Louisiana Purchase After Watching Saints Play in Paris thesadvocate.com/2026/10/fea…
Look to the right of the sun...do you see the sun dog? We've had lots of cirrus clouds in the area over the last couple of days and those clouds are composed of ice crystals. The ice crystals bend (refract) the sunlight passing through, revealing the colors of the rainbow.

From ESPN Research: The Saints are the first team without a 10-yard rusher in a game since the Buccaneers against the Chiefs in 2022. It's the 3rd time in Saints history that the team has not had a 10-yard rusher in a game. Other times were in 1993 and 1980.
LSU implodes at the end of that drive...the upside? They possessed the ball for half of the 3rd quarter.

Someone unleash Cousin Eddie on the Knicks front office
The Knicks' assistant coaches did not receive their championship rings during Tuesday's ceremony, despite being handed ring boxes, according to league sources.
Many longtime employees at Madison Square Garden will not receive rings at all, per team sources.
Those employees got their hopes up in late September, when they were sent a fake championship ring offer as part of a phishing test.
