Weekend parade plans, a cajun 'Super Bowl shuffle' and players talk Sean Payton

By Jerry DiColo | Metro editor


PLENTY TO DO: Nefertiti kicked things off in New Orleans East last weekend, and if you haven't taken a look at your upcoming Carnival plans in awhile, it's time to start. Here's this weekend's best bets, which include a new foot parade in the French Quarter tonight and the (shortened) Chewbacchus parade Saturday.

Remember FUN? It's time to have fun, New Orleans.


BURREAUX GETS A SONG: Da Bears. 1985. You forgot the Super Bowl but you remember the song, right? Well, with adopted son of Louisiana Joe Burrow leading the Bengals into Super Bowl LVI, its time to replace the 'Shuffle with an accordion-driven ode to Burrow and his Bengals. Ok, it doesn't star Joe, but there's a gravelly "Go Tigahs" in there you'll recognize. Here's a preview.


SEAN PAYTON AND HIS PLAYERS: The people who know Sean Payton best when it comes to football are the men he spent years coaching. Amie Just finds out just what they think of the now-retired Saints coach in a story that takes readers into QB meetings and other behind-the-scenes spots.
