Joe Burrow's headed to the Super Bowl

with Matthew Albright | Assistant metro editor

Good morning! Here are some of our top reads from Sunday.


Burreaux to the Super Bowl

Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase, beloved by LSU football fans for leading LSU to a national championship two years ago, are headed to the Super Bowl after their Cincinnati Bengals stunned the Kansas City Chiefs yesterday.


Louisiana and climate change

One of the legacies Gov. John Bel Edwards is hoping to leave Louisiana is a plan to get the state to net zero carbon emissions by 2050. He argues climate change is making the severe weather that hammers our state worse and more frequent.

But that plan faces enormous hurdles, both political and practical. This story asks the question: For a state whose economy has long depended on the petrochemical industry, is "net zero" really anywhere on the horizon? 


5 massage parlors busted

The East Baton Rouge Sheriff's office arrested three people this weekend, accusing them of running a prostitution ring out of five Baton Rouge massage parlors. 

This story explains where the alleged ring operated and how deputies say they tracked it down. 


Thanks for reading, and have a great day!
