The Front Page: Saints blow a lead, tailgaters endure, and state GOP pushes 'complete nonsense'

By Chad Calder | Staff writer


GIVE IT AWAY NOW: The Saints squandered an 11-point, fourth-quarter lead to fall to the New York Giants in overtime Sunday, 28-21. Taysom Hill had a good day — and an ugly interception on an underthrown ball — and the defense kept the Giants out of the end zone for much of the game. But the team couldn't finish, and falls to 2-2. You'll find all our coverage here.

Outside the Superdome, fans did their best to navigate the tailgating landscape altered by time, commercial development and Hurricane Ida. 


MENDING FENCES: Top executives with the Saints and the Superdome have had a contentious relationship at times, but Jeff Duncan and WVUE-TV's Lee Zurik have an inside look at the moment 15 years ago when that relationship took a turn for the better. 


'COMPLETE NONSENSE': That's what a letter about coronavirus vaccines that a group of GOP lawmakers sent to the governor and state health department amounts to. Says who? Legal experts who reviewed the letter, which attempts to explain why the FDA's recent, full approval of the Pfizer vaccine isn't what it appears to be. Blake Patterson explains why Gov. John Bel Edwards' office and others say the letter is "rife with disinformation." 


AND MORE: We've also got a rundown of the race for the at-large Division 2 seat on the New Orleans City Council, a local hotel's about-face on throwing out people made homeless by Hurricane Ida and Kenner's post-Ida truck-buying spree.


Thanks for starting your Sunday with us. Keep up with news all day on NOLA.com.
