So long, Jim Henderson
Posted by Kevin Allman on Tue, Jan 31, 2012 at 4:43 PM
Today's the last day at work for WWL-TV sports director Jim Henderson, and his appearance on the 10 p.m. edition of Eyewitness News will be his last before he retires after 33 years at the station. Co-worker Tom Planchet has written a great essay about his many years working with Henderson, and the WWL-TV webpage is largely given over to farewells ... including this blooper reel. Good luck, Jim.

WWL-TV: The year in restaurants, with Ian McNulty
Posted by Kevin Allman on Thu, Dec 29, 2011 at 10:23 AM
Gambit food critic Ian McNulty appeared on WWL-TV last night to discuss the state of the restaurant community at year's end. It was prompted by an article by Tom Fitzmorris in New Orleans CityBusiness (behind a pay wall, unfortunately) that also carried a few tart/cranky comments about the spate of "gourmet" burger and pizza eateries that opened in 2011. Can't link you to everything Fitzmorris had to say about pumped-up burgers and tricked-out pizzas, but the dean of New Orleans dining wrote a poem about it on his New Orleans Menu website. An excerpt:
Here's a gold mine! say chefs
Who once made us say "Wow!"
Now ask for ten dollars
For a bun and ground cow.
And don't get me started
On gourmet pizza pie!
Anyway, here's Ian in an interesting report by Scott Satchfield:
And here's Ian's take on the topic from this week's paper.

Who should get naming rights to the Superdome?
Posted by Kevin Allman on Thu, Sep 22, 2011 at 10:49 PM
Thursday night, Saints Vice President of Communications Greg Bensel confirmed the banner, saying the team has been pitching the naming-rights idea to several different companies.Bensel said they have been placing different brands on banners and then taking pictures of them to show potential companies what the ‘Dome would look like with their logo on it.
OK, but ... Mercedes-Benz? Has anyone given Ronnie Lamarque rights of first refusal? He could project his commercials on the side of the Dome during game days.
What about Chip Forstall (at least he'd probably put on some good concerts, and that bald head would make a nice visual pun with the shape of the Dome)?
Or ... Da Rocky & Carlo's Superdome ("Ladies Welcome")?
Twitter was immediately abuzz with ideas, with people using the hashtag #SuperdomeNamingRights.
Who do you think should get the naming rights to the Superdome?
