Jackson Square Live Cam Super Bowl

Posted in News, Sports by

NEW ORLEANS (Gazette) — Dang!! Looks like they shut down the Jackson Square Live Cam for this Super Bowl. So sorry!! Maybe, someone sued for privacy rights violations for being filmed on the Live Cam. Possibly, also, crimes were being caught on the Live Cam which the city did not want to be shown world wide.

Anyway, here is another story that caught my attention. Before the Super Bopwl there were reports that Floyd Mayweather had wagered $10.4 Million on the Denver Broncos to win the Super Bowl. Well, post Super Bowl, Mayweather has subsequently posted on Instagram that he did not wager $10.4 M on the Broncos. He said that those were just false rumors.

Here is a view of the action on Super Bowl weekend from the Jackson Square Live Cam. Wow! The cam is still up there and active. How long? Forever? UPDATE: No!!! The Jackson Square Live Cam was not active forever. LOL! In fact, the Live Cam is presently inactvie. HaHaHa!

Hawking #Pelican Tickets

Posted in Sports by

NEW ORLEANS (Gazette) — The ink has not even dried yet on the #Pelicans 110 to 90 debacle vs. Orlando. Already, they are hawking tickets for tomorrow night’s game vs. Charlotte in the New Orleans Arena. They should be ashamed of themselves. When is the owner going to fire this Pelicans’ horrible coach, Monty Williams. They brought in a ton of new players, changed the team name, redid the Arena, etc. Are they going to enjoy another whole year of being in last place in their division with the same dumb coach? DUMBBB!!!

In other news, some people’s wishes may soon be answered from Washington D.C. In fact, many people across the country might consider this welcomed news. It sure would keep thousands of individuals from crowding U.S. jails for such minor offenses. Jails are already overcrowded with real criminals.

Too bad that I will not be able to go to the Songwriters Festival this week. I have previous engagements which preclude my visit.

UPDATE: I just read that the storm in the Philippines caused flooding up to 50 ft. high. That is unbelievable.

A Cajun Joke, #WhoDat

Posted in Sports by

Since our #WhoDatNation is in such a grand funk this awful Monday, I have decided to put a little smile on your faces. I hope that you enjoy my little joke. I am hurting badly too because the game was stolen from the 5-1 New Orleans Saints. We need a little bit of humor today. The agony of the feet is just too much to bear.

I am hurting badly too because the referees were definitely cheating for the New England Patriots. Those hoes! We should be 6-0 instead of 5-1. I believe in stringing up referees. The REFS from yesterday’s New Orleans Saints vs. Patriots game need to be hung from the nearest Magnolia tree. Those refs definitely stole the game from the Saints.

WHO DAT Fever

Posted in History, Sports by

NEW ORLEANS (Gazette) — I am too happy going into Monday morning. Yes, I am in ecstasy. The New Orleans Saints are 3-0, baby. Next Monday on Monday Night Football, the Saints meet the Miami Dolphins who are also undefeated at 3-0. I cannot wait for the game. FIREWORKS, baby!!

Yes, this should be a nice long week of WHO DAT happiness. Next week, either the Saints or the Dolphins will be closing out Monday Night Football at 4-0. Hold onto your hats, Who Dat fans. Geaux Saints!

Never Take Points Off The Board

Posted in Sports by

NEW ORLEANS (Gazette) — Football Rule #1:  Never take points off the board. Once the #Saints scored the early field goal on Sunday, Coach Sean Payton should not have decided to erase the points and go for the touchdown after the penalty (especially running with Mark Ingram). Keep those 3 points on the board, and come back to fight another day. It was those 3 points which almost cost the Saints the game.  However, the #WhoDats were good enough on Sunday to overcome that early mistake.

Here below is a movie clip from TERROR NIGHTS based on my book THE TERROR SCROLLS.

Looking at the below picture might make up my mind to buy season tickets for the basketball New Orleans Pelicans.


Below is a clip of the movie Meet the Girls that I am promoting from my book Drive Women Crazy.

That is truly something to be happy about. All I can do is spell a lot of stuff, and say some big words. So what if I questioned your spelling? Who is the winner if you ever get your hands on me?

A. Peterson vs. #GayMarriage

Posted in Politics, Sports by
NEW ORLEANS (Gazette) — Mixing sports with politics (the gay-marriage issue & the coming-out issue) is once again in the news. Top NFL #runningback voices opposition. Vikings’ Adrian Peterson is probably the best r/b in the league. He has now come out on the side of not liking gay-marriage. I looked up the definition of marriage. There are 2 definitions now in dictionary.com: a) union between a man & woman; b) gay marriage.

Adrian Peterson says he’s ‘not with’ gay marriage – NFL – SI.com

sportsillustrated.cnn.com

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – NFL MVP Adrian Peterson says he has family members who are gay whom he loves and respects. But on gay marriage, the Minnesota Vikings running back says “that’s not something I believe in.”Read More at Sport Illustrated: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2013/football/nfl/wires/05/27/2020.ap.fbn.vikings.peterson.gay.marriage.0158/index.html#ixzz2UVsBLJfK
My readers are probably looking for a clearer opinion from me. I must admit that I have to study the issue further. That is why I looked up the definition of marriage. I thought that looking up the definition would give me a clear-cut, black-and-white answer. However, now-a-days even vaunted institutions like our dictionary have changed to reflect modern mores/customs. Which, I must say, is actually the definition of a dictionary. Our dictionaries change, mend and bend with time.
The encyclopedia, however,  tells a different story. I subsequently looked up the word “marriage” in the encyclopedia. This definition is it my friends. This encyclopedia definition is how I roll! haha: MARRIAGE; socially sanctioned union that reproduces the family. END OF SUBJECT. CASE CLOSED! Adrian Peterson seems to be CORRECT.

NBA Playoff Bracket

(Delery Gazette) New Orleans — SORRY! There were errors in transposing the bracket to my website. I posted YAHOO’s bracket, but there must be some kind of lock or encryption on the HTML. So, meanwhile, I will leave here what survived the translation. If I can figure things out I will try again to post the bracket here. SORRY!!

My money tonight is on San Antonio. I predict that San Antonio will meet Miami Heat in the championship series. DUH!!!

Live in da Hive vs. Miami Heat

The fine Jennifer Hale ‏@JenHale504 on 25 March tweeted:
Hornets upset the Nuggets 110-86 with 7 Nola players in double digits. Next up: Clippers & Heat.
Details-Reply

My Reply to @JenHale504:

Ferdie Werdie‏ @ferdiewerdie tweeted,
@JenHale504 >>We couldn’t do it. #Clippers prevailed. #TGIF & let’s beat da #Heat as #Hornets are again live in da hive. Jennifer, I just have to say to you right here: Geaux, You Fine Thang …You are totally gorgeous; and you make me shake like a leaf every time you do an interview on TV. Like Elvis said, “I’M ALL SHOOK UP!!”

Fine Interviews: Jennifer Hale

NEW ORLEANS (by Ferdie) — I recently replied with a tweet to lovely Jennifer Hale, the gorgeous sandy-haired courtside reporter for the Hornets, about the Hornets’ fortunes. In the photo above she is showing her lovely smile. On Monday, March 25, I absolutely enjoyed watching the Hornets break the Denver Nuggets’ 15-game winning streak. The Bees scored the victory even without 1st-string play-makers Eric Gordan & Greivis Vasquez who were injured. It was an exciting game! I just had to put my two-cents in Re: Jennifer’s tweet. Between the action on the court and Jennifer’s fine interviews, I had a fun time. Subsequently, the high-flying Los Angeles Clippers dared to come to the Big Easy on Wednesday, March 27, and bury their foot in the Hornets’ buttockle area. TONIGHT in the hive: The Heat! The Heat! The Miami Heat! YES, I’M STUTTERING!

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Brian Roberts (back-up point guard for Greivis Vasquez) on Monday could not himself believe the outstanding performance which he delivered to help end Denver’s 15-game win streak.
