Get ready for the Pelicans, and justice for Portia Pollock

By Jerry DiColo | Metro Editor


CHRIS AND WILLIE: In an exclusive interview, Phoenix Suns veteran guard (and former New Orleans Hornet) Chris Paul talks about his relationship with Pelicans head coach Willie Green. The two crossed paths in New Orleans before, and ahead of Friday's game in the Smoothie King Center, Paul looks back on a time when they were in the playoff hunt together. 


JUSTICE FOR PORTIA: The death of Portia Pollock during a 7th Ward robbery was a devastating blow for the neighborhood and her tight circle of fellow Congo Square musicians. On Friday, Bryan Andry pleaded guilty to manslaughter.


DREW BREES Q&A: Drew Brees took some time after his pro-am round ahead of the Zurick Classic to chat with local media. Here are his thoughts on the Saints quarterback options, the new offensive coordinator and the NFL draft.
