Firstly, I wanted to explain this cartoon. I might have missed the joke and laughed at the wrong thing. I laughed at Lucy saying, “His superior — a woman.” Maybe that is not what the joke is about. Did I miss the point? Sorry, ladies!
Maybe women look at men as dogs. Anyway…
Four Now Replaced By Whites
Since I wrote this article⬇️ four of those QB’s have been replaced by white QB’s:
New Orleans (Sept. 12, 2025) — Half of teams in the NFL have black starting QB’s. My thoughts include surprise. I knew that there were a number of black starting QB’s in the league, but I did not realize that number is now 16. That means that one-half of the league is led by black QB’s. Yes, I was surprised to hear that.
⬇️I rank the current tops⬇️
1. Lamar Jackson 2. Patrick Mahomes 3. Jalen Hurts 4. Jordan Love 5. Jayden Daniels. That’s enough for now. I will watch them as the season progresses to see if anything changes.
UPDATE: As of this writing (Nov. 4, 2025), five of these QB’s have been replaced because of injury or otherwise. Four of them by white QB’s.
Jayden’s Brutal Arm Injury
Gazette (Nov. 4, 2025) — Look at how QB Jayden Daniels’ left arm is bent backwards. Everyone was waiting for Jayden to have a great 2025 season. Sorrow is felt everywhere.
This thing is BRUTAL looking! Jayden Daniels arm shouldn’t bend THAT way! “Dislocated Elbow” – uhhhhh yeah. pic.twitter.com/HNTAqAenRD
Tampa Bay QB Baker Mayfield does not like the New Orleans Saints. He proved it by beating the Saints 34-10 on Sunday, Oct. 26, 2025.
The Saints play Tampa Bay next⬇️ in Tampa on Dec. 7, 2025. I am praying that the Saints can get some revenge then for the Oct. 26th loss. Baker Mayfield laid some real pain on the Who Dats in the Superdome, for which Saints fans want retribution.
Tampa Bay QB Baker Mayfield said about his game this week vs. the Saints, "Not much else to say besides the fact I don't like them (the Saints)."
While I was meditating in my Zen hypnotic state, I saw these words: “The Lord of Hosts is not blind to the oppression that we are facing or to the injustices being committed by our oppressors. He will shatter and bring turmoil to our oppressors.The Lord of Hosts (the Lord of Armies) is your hammer and weapon of war. With Him you will break nations into pieces; you will destroy kingdoms. He is Sovereign over all armies. Abba, Our Father, is always the hammer of war for us believers.”
Pray for peace in the United States or prepare for its collapse. The Lord of Hosts is not blind to the oppression that you are facing or to the injustices being committed by your oppressors. Yahweh will shatter and bring turmoil to your oppressors.
If Donald Ttump can ignore the term limits rule, surely can the Dems.
Here is a thought to think about⬇️. I just now saw this on the Internet. What a heavy-weight bout that would be? Stupid (L) vs. gravitas (R)! What do you think about them apples? pic.twitter.com/rfseWwe6ZS

I have to fact check with my brother at what age he started shooting pool in the back of our cousin’s bar room. At the corner of St. Anthony St. and Claiborne Ave. in New Orleans was a bar room (Fat’s Bar) owned by a cousin of my Grandfather Sidney Cates. I, unlike my brother, was spending my time at other parts unknown. To this day, Carl can run circles around me on a pool table even though I had a pool tournament trophy on my living room shelf until Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans.
That is Louis Armstrong playing his horn if you click the arrow in the video⬇️ below. That is just a picture of my horn. I play songs of thanksgiving on my horn often about things.
GAZETTE 👀 (Feb. 7, 2025) — These are memories from 2015. I accidentally erased all of the pictures in this story. I will work on finding them again. Woe is me! Oooh! I found one picture if you click the GAZETTE at Oct 31, 2024 by the eyes. 👆🏽👆🏽 Note: See bottom for the winner of our Biggest Loser Contest, and for a picture of my safety award jacket.
Meanwhile
Now, here is a lovely picture that my daughter took on Halloween of her niece (my granddaughter).
My daughters were dressing my grandchildren in their costumes for the festivities. We all had a fun time. If you want to see even more pictures of us from Halloween, you can click here: More Pictures At My Daughter’s Site.
Prepping for Halloween night. My granddaughter, Halfa’-Pint.
They came back with bags of candy. I ate plenty candy too.

The next day we got 4 boats and took the kiddos boating on Lake Yogi.

To my brother, Carl: Below is the chart which we spoke about.
NEW ORLEANS (October 9, 2024) —
UPDATE for Week 6 >>I just read: When QB DEREK Carr left for the locker room against the Chiefs, he was replaced by Jake Haener, but rookie Spencer Rattler is a strong candidate to start against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 6, talking heads Garafolo and Rapoport reported.
This (below) is New Orleans SAINTS’ Demario Davis’ team speech several years ago before a Seattle SEAHAWKS game: “Listen up! It’s time to hunt. It’s time to hunt. The hunt’s got three parts. “First it’s the prowl. The prowl is where you study your prey and you creep in and figure out how you’re going to get that perfect strike. We done studied this opponent all week. We know the opponent. Now it’s time to strike, “The second part is the kill. The kill is what people don’t like. That’s that nasty (stuff.) It’s violent. It’s quick. It’s malicious. It’s violent. When you see your opponent today, look him in his eyes and take his soul. And don’t stop until it’s gone. Don’t stop until it’s gone. “And the last part is to eat. It’s to eat. That’s the whole reason why we are here. When one wolf eat, all the wolves eat. When one lion eats, all the lions eat. So if you want to take care of your brother, you eat. You eat by making plays. Every throw. Every catch. Every tackle. Every sack. Let’s go eat. Let’s go eat”!!
My dad used to tell me similar words to Abraham Lincoln’s words below. He advised me that Silence is Golden when he brought me as a youngster on house calls with him where he repaired TV’s (and such) as an electrical technician.
Silence is golden:
Later in life, some of the pretty young girls who saw me when I was on-call with my dad remembered me. They looked me up once they grew up so fine and lovely. Who knew that they noticed me when I sat silently in their living room or den? Thank God that my dad had taught me to SHUT UP.
When I was a youngster:
The link below also explains my nickname on another post. On Reply 2/2 at that post, I say to scroll down to see. NEVERMIND! Do not click the link “HOW DID I GET THE NICKNAME.” That is too much convoluted scrolling, etc. just to chase that rabbit down the rabbit hole. I just tried it again, and that is too hard tracking behind that rabbit. DON’T DO IT. I already explained it enough right here, thank you.
Did the Supreme Court tell LADY JUSTICE (as in, the scales of American justice are equally balanced and blind) to shut up when it handed Donald Trump an illegal/unjust victory in the New York Attorney General’s case that he lost? With this current Supreme Court, justice will never prevail when it comes to Trump. Justice does not prevail even when he loses in the lower courts.
Meanwhile, in the picture below, I am saying a Hail Mary for intercessory prayer ref: a pickup truck for myself which I need for roof work and other things. I am reminded of when quarterback Roger Staubach prayed a Hail Mary for what became known as the Hail Mary pass to defeat Minnesota with a long bomb in the last minutes of their playoff game in the 1970’s.
Hail Mary full of grace the Lord is with thee!
Arch Manning (Peyton's nephew) didn't start for Texas in 2024.
Reports had said that 2023 starter Quinn Ewers was not guaranteed the starting QB job in 2024 if he came back.
Quinn Ewers won't be guaranteed a starting job if he returns to Texas in 2024 with Arch Manning waiting in the wings. https://t.co/zKhTNco0CR
UPDATE: ⚜️ The Saints are confirmed to be sticking with Dennis Allen and Derek Carr (as expected) through at least next season, but all rumors point to New Orleans moving on from Pete Carmichael as the offensive play caller. Long overdue.
What I previously wrote: Am I the only one who sees it? It is not Derek Carr at all. It is the way the stupid coaches stick Taysom Hill in and out at QB totally disrupting Carr’s momentum. They should play Taysom like everyone else… in the conventional, professional football way. Carr (and #JameisWinston) are fine if you stop yanking them in and out for Taysom in the middle of their offensive series. It is juvenile and #bushleague.
Leave Carr alone.
How did I get my nickname Ferdie Werdie?
My grandfather Sidney Cates gave me the nickname Ferdie Werdie when I was about 5 yrs old and it has stuck ever since.
Ferdie Werdie
I also put the answer on Twitter about who gave me my nickname.
GAZETTE (Sept. 26) — I told y’all that it is dangerous playing around with hypnotism trying to reach the Cosmic Portal to get spiritual readings and such. I have been trying to get readings about the Saints games for y’all.
My trying to do self-hypnosis and readings with the limited tools that I have could be dangerous to me – could even kill me. That is what I have been picking up from the fast radio bursts in the Universe while trying to put myself under.
Two occurrences have happened with me over the last two weeks that have thrown my Cosmic “mojo” completely into a spin. I have been trying to work myself out of this. We have all heard that dealing with the spiritual realm in a laissez-faire manner can be very dangerous. It could kill you or send you into insanity (or worst).
Self-hypnosis and certain meditation methods might throw you into the wrong realm. I know that y’all have heard about the Bermuda Triangle (the Devil’s Triangle). What is it? I have “seen” from Fast intermittent radio Bursts that the Bermuda Triangle is a Portal on earth to another place or places. I know where, but I want to hold that close to my vest for now.
Meanwhile, what about Saints vs. Atlanta on Sept. 29:
MY TAKE on the Saints vs. Atlanta on Sept. 29 is relative to their NFL NETWORK Week 4 Power Ranking (still in the top 10) going into this game. On the Saint’s ranking going into Week 4: with their All Pro center out and w/o bruiser Taysom Hill available to make those all-important, tough yards for the valuable 1st downs, the Saints are a different team. They need those 2 tough guys in there to remain high in the rankings.
My dad used to tell me similar words to Abraham Lincoln’s below when he brought me as a youngster on house calls with him when he was a TV repairman.
Silence is golden!
Later in life, some of the pretty young girls who saw me when I was on-call with my dad remembered me. They looked me up once they grew up so fine and lovely. Who knew that they noticed me when I sat silently in their living room or den? Thank God that my dad had taught me to SHUT UP.
A Note About Shutting Up!
The guys below are referring to whom to shut up? De Niro or Trump?
New Orleans (2023) — Am I the only one who sees it? It is not Derek Carr at all. It is the way the coaches stick Taysom Hill in and out at QB totally disrupting Carr’s momentum. They should play Taysom like everyone else… in the conventional, professional football way. He is a wonderful bruiser for those tough yards and valuable first downs. Carr is fine if you stop yanking him in and out for Taysom in the middle of their offensive series. It is juvenile and #bushleague.
Gazette (May 2023) — See the link below where AI predicts that the SAINTS will have an 11-6 record. I predict a 6-11 record because the nincompoop offensive coordinator keeps sticking 4th string QB Tayson Hill in at QB every 3 or 4 plays, disrupting the starting QB’s mojo. Too stupid! Otherwise, the Saints would have made the playoffs last year.
AI predicts the 2023 records of all teams at this link:
With AI help, these predictions have the SAINTS in rarefied air at 11-6 this season. I personally still doubt the Saints’ offensive-coaching brain power. The team’s talent could win the Super Bowl, but the Saints’ offensive scheme is feeble-minded. I see a 6-11 record. Geaux #7 Taysom Hill at QB, TE, RB, punt-k/o returner, wide receiver, offensive in-and-outer who could help power-run the Saints to the Super Bowl if he were played correctly. SURELY NOT IN-AND-OUT AT QUARTERBACK! To keep putting Taysom (4th string QB) in-and-out last year when Andy Dalton and Jameis Winston were the field generals is as bone-headed as I have seen in professional football.
What do the experts say about the Saints' coaching?
Coach Dennis Allen of the Saints is ranked among the worst in the NFL, experts say.https://t.co/luVsf9pXdQ
I will cook a batch of my cajun boudin soon, and post a picture of a new addition to my recipe. Of course, I might also write a more in-depth recipe for y’all exposing some of my secret ingredients.
In Cajun cooking, particularly that of Acadiana parish in Louisiana, boudin refers to a mixture of meat, rice, and seasonings which are then stuffed in pork casings. Pork is the most traditional meat used, but you’ll also find boudin stuffed with crawfish, alligator, or shrimp. Boiled, smoked, or grilled, boudin can be consumed virtually anywhere which makes it an easy and satisfying on-the-go meal that fisherman and hunters are especially fond of.
Okay, the Saints are resting now since I wrote the below meme. However, I am beginning to read about the Saints again, but we all know that they are going to lose ignominiously this coming season if they continue their offense with the same juvenile game plan as last season… #woeisme!
…unless they play one QB at a time. Then, I will like them again.
NOTE: By the way, See below what I think about the New Orleans SAINTS’ game plan under the current coaches.
GAZETTE (April 14, 2023) — I cannot wait until I get to my refrigerator in order to see what holiday deliciousness is left.
UPDATE: I “eviscerated” the food into my stomach. So, that is why…The cat who ate the canary.
I said that they put me in “time out” because it looks like they punished me after I raided the fridge for some leftovers from Thanksgiving.
Then...
If you are wondering what my thoughts were when I studied the picture of this girl, I wrote out some words that explain a little bit about what was percolating in my cranial area at the time. Scroll down a little bit to see what I wrote.
I say something below.
More news...
Now that my stomach is filled up, I feel like watching some TV. I do not need any blankets or heat because it is very pleasant tonight.

MEANWHILE:
Music is the language of love. A song is what sparked off all of the love in the classic movie CASABLANCA.
Oh, what a love song!
I just watched the New Orleans SAINTS get rubbed out in a football game as usual. But anyway...
1/2 …If SAINTS GM Mickey Loomis keeps this crowd around for another year or much longer, he needs to be fired too. The #deplorable, supremacist element down here in this neck of the woods loves what's going on with the Saints' offense (if you get my drift)… pic.twitter.com/Nl9wHllugj
The Baton Rouge Advocate bought the New Orleans Times-Picayune and now we get LSU on the front page of the sports every day, and relegate Saints, Pels, Tulane to page four or further back in the newspaper. UPDATE: Word must have reached the Advocate because the newspaper has recently been fairer in its placement of stories about SAINTS, Pelicans, Tulane, etc.
#Tulane is having a good year. I am tired of seeing LSU take the whole front pg of the sports every day in New Orleans. Tulane, the #SAINTS and PELS are relegated to pg 4 or deeper. LSU is fine, but why smash the B.R. LSU in our New Orleans faces. 1/2 https://t.co/X04Xy01ELApic.twitter.com/QsiWhaZw3F
Even Jesus Christ held music “upon high” in his ministry, and sang hymns when he met with his followers. Jesus’ music tradition is still carried on today in most religions which hold music up in a high place. The Scriptures say that the Lord lives in our praises. Godly, spiritual music is praise.
This picture below is scientists’ rendition of how Jesus looked (using scientific and DNA methods). This is the picture of Jesus that they portray.

Scientific methods drew this picture of how they say that Jesus looked.

Many people wonder if Donald Trump will suffer any consequences for his insurrection crimes on January 6th. He wants to announce early for the 2024 Presidential race in order to protect himself from prosecution. His thinking is that no charges will be brought against him while he is campaigning.

Meanwhile, I would like to perform my act and music again.
by FERDIE (July 4) — My stand-up comedy and music career might be over. The Corona virus shut the doors of the coffee house at which I performed for a number of years. When it opened back up (they and Algiers Point Bar where I did some open mic nights) contacted me often to come back and perform. I was not ready to go into Corona crowds yet. They eventually stopped calling. I might start back, but I still avoid Corona crowds.

Inquiring minds want to know. Can we come up with the public’s opinion on the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard of their day (Brad&Angie)? I am now thinking that I should have given 2 more choices: 1. Neither one is wrong, or 2. Both of them are wrong.
These two Hollywood icons were sleeping with men undercover. Tell me it “ain’t” so. These here are Cary Grant and Gary Cooper. The article in the link below says they left “a legacy of bravery and perseverance.” Maybe, that is such concerning the roles they played in the movies; not so in their life as gays.
The link below might explain some of their gay lifestyles.

Then, firstly, a note: by Ferdie (Jan. 28, 2023) — I received some good news about my A1C and blood sugar levels on Thursday. My doctor said, “Excellent”! After that good news, this is what I said about my “staying afloat” health wise and how I wanted to celebrate:
Now, back to my article:
BOSCOVILLE (Gazette) — By the way, I wrote this section on Mardi Gras weekend 2014 in New Orleans: “The best of the parades and the best of the Balls are this weekend… culminating on Fat Tuesday. I am worn down tonight; but I am going to kick things back off in the morning.”
Yes, this picture ⬆️⬆️ is becoming one of my favorites. I need to find this poster and hang it on my wall. WHERE CAN I FIND THIS POSTER?? I want it.
New Orleans GAZETTE (February, 2014) — I just read something that reminded me that the OSCARS are tonight. I might come back online later and list my choices before the broadcast.
GAZETTE (Jan. 20, 2023) — True story! During a 2023 New Year’s celebration (at about 1220am), I sang a song for the crowd which I dedicated to a sweet someone which rendition made her swoon. I occasionally serenade her anyway; and many of the romance songs which I sang at the Coffee House were written by me for her. Very true! Plus, NEXT➡️ …this is another true story: https://x.com/Ferd3desk/status/1697301231784345833?t=PqpU7pYV0Q30YDzXGshTaA&s=19
GAZETTE (Jan. 28, 2023) — This following definition enhancement is for me because it tells me a success strategy. It might help me with reaching my goals: Ideation is not just a one-time idea generation or a brainstorming session. In fact, we can divide ideation into these three stages: generation, selection, and development.
A NOTE in 2014. (I have since changed my mind 180°): Coach Monty Williams of the New Orleans Pelicans needs to be fired. This team has been in last place of their division for the last three years. Does owner Tom Benson have his head stuck up his buttockal area?
