Among the many great storylines surrounding Super Bowl XLIV — New Orleans native Peyton Manning against his dad's former team, the top seeds from each conference squaring off for the first time since 1993, the Saints' first appearance in a Super Bowl — none resonates more than a hurricane-ravaged city embracing its once star-crossed team.
That much of America will be pulling for the sentimental-favorite Saints on Feb. 7 in Miami isn't lost on Colts Nation. Indianapolis Star sports columnist Bob Kravitz, in his weekly podcast, "Bob's 2Minute Blitz," warns Colts fans to "start bracing themselves right now: Your Colts are the supporting actors in this thing ... I can promise you most of America is gonna root for New Orleans, and frankly I can't blame 'em."

Yeah, EXCEPT for the national media (most specifically, ESPN) who still aren't finished with Favre and have just added Manning to the coverage mix. Go Saints! Bless You Boys!

Wow. I'm kind of caught off guard that the Indy media would say that. Most of the media has hopped on the "Saints as America's New Team" bandwagon (http://bit.ly/b3pESN), but I figured the folks at the Indy Star might be more resistant.

David Calhoun and Elizabeth “EB” Brooks are the first two employees of Lafayette Central Park Inc., the nonprofit charged with turning Lafayette Consolidated Government’s 100-acre Johnston Street Horse Farm property into a passive public park. Calhoun was named executive director, and Brooks is director of planning and design.
At Thursday's State of the Economy luncheon, LEDA President and CEO Gregg Gothreaux said PXP has already quietly hired 180 people for its Broussard expansion.
There will soon be a whole lot of shakin’ going on at Benny’s Sportshack Supplement Depot, a new concept by Opelousas native Benny Nele. Located at 2002 Johnston St., the supplement shop, smoothie bar and café, featuring hot off the press paninis and wraps, plans to open in late May.
This year’s Cool Town issue is all about people who are not native to South Louisiana but made a conscious decision to be here, to be among us, to participate in our culture and contribute to it.
A shelved ordinance transferring $200,000 from a northside drainage project to a south Lafayette development may not break any laws, but it stinks to high heaven.
An effort to restore a shuttered dancehall and document other vacant or razed honky-tonks could serve as a model for saving an endangered species of entertainment.
Lafayette’s gene pool has been host to a long line of eccentric characters who have blurred the lines between crazy, genius, disturbed and curiously entertaining.
