The Fox 8 Digital Desk hit the road again to check in on The Donut Hole in LaPlace! They’re back after the three years since Hurricane Ida. I caught up with the shop’s new owner Courtney Bahr and we talked about navigating a comeback. Check the interview out at fox8live.com/news/digital

I wish I could go to Cajun Mardi Gras one year.

I’m pretty high on what I’ve seen out of Karlo Matkovic in the last couple of Pels games.

Olynyk’s headspace to always look for an outlet pass immediately after a defensive rebound is so so valuable.

I really need to see Zion Williamson and Trey Murphy III become the NBA’s next interchangeable inside-out lethal duo.

No cap, Kelly Olynyk and Bruce Brown look like decent role players in the Pelicans’ rotation right now. Neither are ball stoppers. Bring those guys back next season and add that incoming Top 5 pick and this team could be fun again.

I still gotta get Karlo Matkovic’s name right

No more sending Karlo Matlovic to Birmingham. Let him get real NBA minutes and ride the tank. Olynyk, Missi, Karlo, and someone else might be a real big rotation next season.

The thing about the Pels trading out BI is that, no, it’s not a sexy trade but they got a real NBA vet big in Olynyk. And he plays a style that fits alongside Zion. And you got a future first. You see tonight why that’s useful.

Zion drives and lobs it to Karlo with 5 seconds left in the quarter

For most of three quarters, the Pelicans were playing terrible basketball tonight against the Spurs. I turned the game off. I just got a notification that they somehow won the game and held the Spurs under 100 points?

It’s been a whirlwind, but the Fox 8 Digital Desk is back! I interviewed John Miller, owner of The Café in Kentwood. They’re bouncing back from a devastating fire last fall. We talked about keeping culture alive and not being afraid to make mistakes. Full interview at fox8live.com/news/digital

Sources: As #Eagles OC Kellen Moore gets ready to coordinate the biggest game of his career, the expectation remains that he will accept the #Saints HC position after the Super Bowl. Moore has been focused on the Eagles, but prior to the week had already started making calls on a potential staff.
