Happy New Year, friends. Lots to cover today, so let's get started. Sweet drama:Did you make it to the end of the Sugar Bowl late last night? Drama! Here’s Jeff Duncan's take if you’re still in catch-up mode. And something from Rod Walker, too. And the drama wasn't just inside the Superdome. ESPN issued an apology for something its cameras caught during a commercial break on Bourbon Street. You see where this going, don't you? Warning if you click.
Big business: Some development news to catch up with to start the new year. Drew Broach has this look at a stretch of Airline Drive in Metairie that could be transformed. And Stephanie Riegel tells us about the sale of a high-profile high-rise in downtown New Orleans.
Big accomplishments: Some people are just doers, right? Take identical twins Jagan and Neel Gupta, for instance. They made headlines 20 years ago as Tulane students and are back at it, Joni Hess reports.
New year, new laws: Some new laws took effect with the new year. State politics writer James Finn has this look at some of them.
