The Front Page: The return of Drew Brees, the reason two kids were killed and the future of Louisiana energy

By Drew Broach | Deputy metro editor

G.O.A.T. RETURNS: Considering how poorly the New Orleans Saints have been playing lately, the most satisfying part of Thursday night's home game against the Buffalo Bills might come at halftime. We have a one-on-one interview with Drew Brees as he returns to New Orleans to be honored midway through the game (and to help broadcast it on NBC television). 

INATTENTION: The most detailed explanation to date for the Oct. 11 car wreck that killed two children on Interstate 510 in New Orleans East comes from newly obtained police records: One of the drivers was speeding and took his eyes off the road to change radio stations before he crashed into the victims' disabled car. 

SECOND WIND: The metamorphosis of Louisiana's oil and gas industry, into one that supports wind energy, is the subject of our five-part series this week. The lineup ...

• Part 1 - Louisiana oil workers built first U.S. offshore wind farm on East Coast. Can they do it on Gulf Coast? 
• Part 2 - The Gulf of Mexico is poised for a wind energy boom. 'The only question is when.'
• Part 3 - Louisiana sent a 'strong signal' to offshore wind developers, but is it enough?
• Part 4 - Coming Friday
• Part 5 - Coming Saturday.
