NATIONAL SMILE DAY | MAY 31
On May 31st, National Smile Day encourages everyone to wear their best smile!
The first recorded smile on record took place on 126 B.C. Okay, we made that up. But did you smile? Joking aside, we generate a smile when funny things happen or find pleasure in the things we do. Someone we love or enjoy spending time with may be the cause of a grin or beaming look of joy.
Smiles are powerful! They not only create engagement between two people but the more a person smiles, the healthier their brain can be. Smiling has a direct link to our brain and can help to reduce stress.
There is so much a smile can do. Just one smile can brighten someone's day. It can also improve your day. Smiles are infectious. A healthy smile can develop confidence and generate a new outlook on the world.

Saints legend Drew Brees to be inducted into team Hall of Fame: 'Once a Saint, always a Saint'
By Jeff Nowak, WWL Radio Sports
The New Orleans Saints made one of the most deserved announcements in team history this week: Drew Brees is headed into the team Hall of Fame.
The Saints QB legend was announced as the lone 2024 inductee on Thursday, eschewing the typical tradition of adding multiple names each year. Saints gameday press box announcer Doug Moreau will also be honored with the Joe Gemelli Fleur de Lis award.
“I’m so grateful for everybody here and always will be," Brees said, wearing a sports jacket over a Team Gleason shirt. "Once a Saint always a Saint."
The announcement was made in front of a crowd of media, team officials, friends and family, and even a few former teammates in current Saints center Erik McCoy, QB Taysom Hill, DE Cam Jordan and TE Josh Hill at the team facility. The scene was set with a documentary about the Saints super bowl title playing prior to Brees entering the room.
He accepted the honor just a few steps away from the Lombardi trophy, a signed helmet and his No. 9 jersey. The official induction will occur prior to a 2024 home game, with an official date yet to be determined.
The news was only surprising in the sense that it was such a quick turnaround from a career that ended in 2020. Brees spent time in the broadcast booth but ultimately stepped away to pursue other interests, which have included opening businesses in South Louisiana, as well as establishing an annual pickleball festival at the New Orleans convention center.
Brees' array of career accolades would be impossible to list fully here, but his greatest achievement in a Saints uniform came in early 2010 when he brought New Orleans its first and only Super Bowl victory. Brees retired as the NFL's all-time passing yardage leader, a mark that was surpassed by Tom Brady, who played 20 seasons compared to Brees' 15.
NFL records still held by Brees include:
- Most games with 120+ passer rating: 64
- Most games with 130+ passer rating: 42
- Most games with a 150+ passer rating: 3
- Most seasons with a 100+ passer rating: 9
- Most seasons leading NFL in completions: 6 (tied with Dan Marino)
- Most completions per game in a season: 29.4 (2016)
- Most seasons with 400+ completions: 9
- Most consecutive seasons with 400+ completions: 7
- Highest completion % in a single game: 96.67% (2019 vs Colts)
- Highest completion percentage in a season: 74.4% (2018)
- Most games with at least 80% completions: 28
- Most seasons with at least 70% completions: 5
- Most seasons leading NFL in pass yards: 7
- Most seasons with 4500+ passing yards: 8
- Most seasons with 5000+ passing yards: 3
- Most games with 300+ yards passing: 12
- Most games with 350+ yards passing: 63
- Most games with 400+ yards passing: 16
- Most consecutive 350+ yard passing games: 4
- Fewest games to reach 80K passing yards: 286
- First QB ever to reach 80K pass yards
- First QB ever to reach 7K pass completions
- Most seasons with 30+ passing TDs: 10
- Most passing TDs in a game: 7 (tied with 7 others)
- Most games with 5+ passing TDs: 11
- One of four QBs to beat all 32 teams (Brett Favre, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady)
Nominations for the team Hall of Fame come from either the media selection committee or advisory committee that consists of other team Hall of Famers. Players are eligible after they have not been with the Saints for a minimum of three years. The vote for Brees was unanimous, as was the decision to let his induction stand alone.
Brees is the latest of several members of the Super Bowl champion squad to be inducted, including WR Devery Henderson, G Jahri Evans, S Roman Harper, RB Reggie Bush, WR Marques Colston, RB Pierre Thomas, WR Lance Moore, LB Jonathan Vilma, G Carl Nicks, DE Will Smith and RB Deuce McAllister.
The next two questions for Brees will the pro football Hall of Fame, for which you have to be out of the league for a minimum of 5 years, as well as the Saints ring of honor, which currently includes Archie Manning, Morten Andersen, Rickey Jackson, Sam Mills, Willie Roaf, Will Smith and Tom Benson.

New Orleans Music Census Launches , Calling All Voices to Shape the Future of New Orleans Music Policy
NEW ORLEANS — Today marks the kickoff of the New Orleans Music Census, an ambitious endeavor spearheaded by the Mayor’s Office of Nighttime Economy to collect comprehensive data about the local music ecosystem. With the aim of delving deep into the heartbeat of our city, this initiative promises to be a game-changer, harnessing data to amplify the voices of those who shape our musical landscape. The census will be accepting responses at musiccensus.org/nola
through May 31.
The goal of this study is to collect information that will assist with data-driven policy change so that we can better understand and support the local music ecosystem. The census will look at everyone from musicians to venue owners to sound engineers to festival buyers to vinyl manufacturers and everything in between.
“As the birthplace of modern music, we recognize how important our culture bearers are to keeping New Orleans vibrant," said Director of Nighttime Economy Howie Kaplan. "This study will serve as a roadmap for how the City can best support them.”
"It is critical that we hear from as many individuals as possible, from all corners of the local music scene," said Nighttime Economy Policy & Outreach Manager Julia Heath, emphasizing the importance of community participation. "Our office is committed to driving meaningful change that will support what our city is the most known for: its music."
In partnership with Sound Music Cities, a renowned firm known for its expertise in music ecosystem studies, the New Orleans Music Census joins a prestigious cohort of 20 cities nationwide, including iconic music destinations like Nashville, TN and Washington, D.C. This collaboration ensures that our efforts are not solitary but part of a collective endeavor to elevate the status of music as a cornerstone of our cultural identity.
By teaming up with community partners, including the Ella Project, Offbeat Magazine, StayLocal and Sinking City Records, the New Orleans Music Census will a cast a wide net, engaging with local venues, musicians, music non-profits and other stakeholders that are instrumental in our city's vibrant musical tapestry. Through interviews and surveys, Nighttime Economy aims to capture the nuanced realities of those who contribute to our nightlife economy, shedding light on both the triumphs and tribulations they face.
"The music census is a vital tool for gathering and publishing data that will inform the public and provide a pathway forward on how best to align resources that benefit the members of our art and music community and strengthen our creative industries and cultural ecosystem for all who live in and visit New Orleans,” said Co-Founder of the Ella Project Ashlye Keaton.

What does "eschatology" mean?
End times study
eschatology [es-kuh-tol-uh-jee]
Definition: the branch of theology that deals with the final events in the history of the world or of humankind, such as the Second Coming of Christ, the resurrection of the dead, the Last Judgment, and the ultimate destiny of humanity.
Origin: The word "eschatology" comes from the Greek word "eskhatos" meaning "last" or "final," and "logos" meaning "study" or "word."
Example: Many religious scholars study eschatology to gain insight into the prophesied end times and the fate of humanity.
End times study is another term for eschatology, referring to the examination and analysis of the final events in the world's history or the destiny of humankind. It involves the investigation of religious and philosophical beliefs, prophecies, and scriptures that discuss the ultimate fate of humanity. End times study often explores various religious perspectives and interpretations of events such as the Second Coming of Christ, the resurrection of the dead, and the Last Judgment. This field of study allows individuals to delve into the concepts surrounding the end of the world and humanity's ultimate destiny, providing a deeper understanding of theological beliefs and interpretations across different religions.

Wave
The Tulane baseball team, winners of its second consecutive American Athletic Conference Tournament, will be the 4 seed that the Corvallis Regional in the 2024 NCAA Tournament, the school learned on Monday.
The Green Wave (35-24) clinched the league's automatic berth when left fielder Jackson Linn's 433-foot solo homer sailed over the wall in left in the bottom of the ninth to give the team an 11-10 win over Wichita State on Sunday.
Tulane will face Oregon State (42-14) on Friday at 8 p.m. CT/6 PT on ESPNU. The winner will face the winner of the game between second-seeded UC Irvine (43-12) and third-seeded Nicholls (38-20), which will be earlier in the day at 3 p.m. CT/1 PT.
The Green Wave was swept by UC Irvine at home in February but broke out the brooms against Nicholls with a 3-2 win at home on February 20 and a wild 14-12 victory on the road on March 5.
The Olive and Blue has faced the Beavers three times in its history, winning all of those contests. The team won 11-9 at the Riverside Invitational (Riverside, California) in 1986, 6-5 at the Louisiana Classics in Lafayette in 1991 and 3-1 in the 2005 College World Series opener (Omaha, Nebraska) in 2005.

NATIONAL MACAROON DAY | MAY 31
Each year on May 31st, National Macaroon Day celebrates the small coconut cookie that is full of flavor and variety, too. Do not mistake these with the delicate sandwich cookies called macarons. No, these small, but substantial cookies hold their own despite the sometimes mistaken identity. For coconut lovers, this day summons up a little bit of bliss.
The Italians receive credit for creating these sweet morsels sometime around the 8th or 9th century. The recipes later traveled to France. However, in other parts of the world, the once flourless cookie served its purpose during religious observances.
Coconut is one of those love-hate ingredients. ~Chef Marcus Samuelsson
Eventually, the cookie made its way to the United States, where the coconut macaroon takes only a few ingredients to make. Shredded coconut serves as the main ingredient. Usually sweetened, the coconut may also be toasted. Other ingredients include flour, sugar or sweetened condensed milk, and egg whites and flavoring. Once the ingredients are combined, the mixture is dropped by spoonfuls onto baking sheets and baked. Most varieties of coconut macaroons are dipped in milk chocolate, dark chocolate or white chocolate. Almonds, pecans, cashews, or other nuts are sometimes added to the cookie.
- This cookie is easy to make, even a beginner can succeed with the simple recipe.

5 Words to Use Instead of 'Very' to Make Your Writing More Descriptive
The English language is full of wonderful, descriptive words that can really make our writing stand out. However, there are some words that can become overused when writing and one of these is “very”. While it is a useful word, it can be used too much and can become a bit boring. In this blog post, I will look at five words to use instead of “very”, that can help to make your writing more descriptive and interesting.
Extremely
The word “extremely” is a good alternative to “very”, as it implies more of an extreme feeling. For example, instead of saying “I am very tired” you could say “I am extremely tired”, which implies a greater level of tiredness.
Exceptionally
To imply that something is greater than normal, you can use the word “exceptionally”. For example, instead of saying “the food was very nice” you could say “the food was exceptionally nice”.
AD
Remarkably
To imply that something is out of the ordinary and is remarkable, you can use the word “remarkably”. For example, instead of saying “the weather was very hot” you could say “the weather was remarkably hot” to imply that it was particularly hot.
Substantially
The word “substantially” is a great alternative to “very”, as it implies that something is a greater degree than usual. For example, instead of saying “the price was very expensive” you could say “the price was substantially expensive”.
Incredibly
Finally, the word “incredibly” is a great word to use when you want to imply something is extraordinary. For example, instead of saying “the view was very beautiful” you could say “the view was incredibly beautiful”.

May 31st Celebrated History
1907
The first New York Taxicab Company cabs arrive in New York City. Owner Harry N. Allen imported 65 of the red and green cars from France. However, they weren't the first taxicabs to operate in the United States. In 1897, Samuel's Electric Carriage and Wagon Company launched in New York City. The company's electric vehicles grew to 100 by 1889 with a new name - Electric Vehicle Company. By the turn of the century, they operated 1,000 cabs. After fire destroyed almost a third of its cabs and financial crisis struck the country in 1907, Electric Vehicle Company shuttered its doors.
1911
The Titanic launches from Belfast, Northern Ireland.
1962

Memory Lane Moments ·
They used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot & then once a day it was taken & sold to the tannery. If you had to do this to survive you were “piss poor.”
But worse than that were the really poor folk who couldn’t even afford to buy a pot; they “didn’t have a pot to piss in” & were the lowest of the low.
The next time you are washing your hands & complain because the water temperature isn’t just how you like it, think about how things used to be. Here are some facts about the 1500s.
Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and they still smelled pretty good by June. Since they were starting to smell, however, brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married.
Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women, and finally the children. Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it … hence the saying, “Don’t throw the baby out with the Bath water!”
Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof. When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof, resulting in the idiom, “It’s raining cats and dogs.”
There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house. This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could mess up your nice clean bed, therefore, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded some protection. That’s how canopy beds came into existence.
The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt, leading folks to coin the phrase “dirt poor.”
The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet, so they spread thresh (straw) on floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on, they added more thresh until, when you opened the door, it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entrance-way, subsequently creating a “thresh hold.”
In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire.. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They ate mostly vegetables and did not get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day. Sometimes stew had food in it that had been there for quite a while, and thus the rhyme, “Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old.”
Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special. When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off. It was a sign of wealth that a man could, “bring home the bacon.” They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and “chew the fat.”
Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead poisoning death. This happened most often with tomatoes, so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous.
Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or the “upper crust.”
Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky. The combination would sometimes knock the imbibers out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial.. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up, creating the custom of holding a wake.
England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people. So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a bone-house, and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive, so they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the graveyard shift.) to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be, saved by the bell or was considered a dead ringer.
And that’s the truth. Now, whoever said History was boring?

Ain't There No More New Orleans
Derby Gisclair
Browsing the Bookstore
The DeForest Book Shop was established by George DeForest and his wife along with R.L. Hood at 612 Commercial Place on the ground floor of the Balter Building. They began offering new and used books during the Great Depression for prices ranging from $0.03 to $1.00 and had an inventory estimated to range between 15,000 and 20,000 that they collected from people across the South who were desperate to unload their used books.
It was reported that on one Sunday in 1938 the couple purchased a truckload of books, nearly 2,000 or more, from someone in Gulfport responding to one of the shop’s Wanted to Purchase advertisements in the New Orlans newspapers. A seller in Abbeville sold them a treasure trove of volumes ranging from 1791 French language history of the United States to a treatise on fish culture from 1750 to a dissertation on duels from 1740.
Among their shop’s more unusual ads were “Paperback novels for 5¢ a bunch” and “Law books for 95¢a yard.” They remained in business until the landlord, Colonel Bluford H.J. Balter, leased the space to the Commonwealth Finance Company which specialized in automotive repair financing.
The Balter Building was a 5-story office building that was one of several buildings demolished to make way for the Pan-American Insurance Company and InterContinental Hotel complex in 1980.

Picasso at the Lapin Agile runs Saturday May 18 through Sunday June 2. Saturday performances are at 7 p.m. and Sunday matinees are at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20 and available at the BonTempsTix.com link below.

CITY OF NEW ORLEANS ANNOUNCES MONTHLY AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT INFORMATION SESSIONS
NEW ORLEANS — On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) into law. The $1.9 trillion package is designed to directly combat the COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts to states and municipalities. The City of New Orleans received $388 million in ARPA funds, and as of February 2024, $245 million has been spent and another $48.5 million has been obligated, representing 76 percent of the City’s total appropriation.
The ARPA Implementation Team will begin holding monthly ARPA Information Sessions at libraries throughout New Orleans. The information sessions will be an opportunity to share updates on ARPA funded projects, share upcoming funding opportunities, answer questions from stakeholders and connect New Orleanians with agencies who have received ARPA funds. Details on the information sessions are included below.
June Information Sessions:
- June 3, 5 - 7 p.m. East New Orleans Regional Library (5641 Read Blvd.) – Large Meeting Room
- June 4, 5 - 7 p.m. Algiers Regional Library (3014 Holiday Dr.) – Small Meeting Room
- June 4, 5 - 7 p.m. Milton H. Latter Library (5120 St Charles Ave.) – Dining Room
- June 5, 5 - 7 p.m. Robert E. Smith Library (6301 Canal Blvd.) – Meeting Room
- June 6, 5 - 7 p.m. Nora Navra Library (3001 Gentilly Blvd.) – Meeting Room
The ARPA Implementation Project Management Office (ARPA PMO) was established in the Fall of 2023 to ensure ARPA funds are spent in full compliance with federal guidelines and to support Departments in spending their ARPA allocations. The ARPA PMO provides oversight, risk assessment, management and monitoring compliance of ARPA funds to ensure projects are designed to be on time and meet goals and compliance mandates.
For further information and updates on the City's ARPA investments and initiatives, contact City’s ARPA team at arpa@nola.gov or visit the official website at nola.gov/arpa/.

Join us Monday, June 3rd at 6:30pm as we celebrate Carla Seyler’s book, A Place Unmade.
The discussion and reading will be followed by an audience Q&A and a book signing.
Books may be purchased in-person, via phone before the event or in-person during the event.
This event is free and open to the public. It will be held upstairs at our shop.
A Place Unmade is a book about someone who commits a crime, causes a disaster and the people who try to stop him.
Valentina Sorelli is a part-time graduate student and full-time marketing director of a community park in New Orleans. Jack Stillman is a corporate executive who hijacks his company’s research for personal gain, and he doesn’t care about the consequences. Their separate paths intersect when Valentina meets Jack’s son Sam, who becomes the link between the worlds of scientific discovery and corporate espionage.
As the story unfolds, Valentina and her classmates unite to try to stop Jack. They get a little help from a corporate whistleblower as well as the FBI. Valentina’s friendship with one of her classmates evolves into something more as they fight for their lives. A Place Unmade takes the reader on a provocative journey into the dangers lurking in our decreasing lack of biodiversity and patentable genetics.
Carla Seyler is the author of A Place Unmade, her debut novel. She hopes there will be many more books in her future, as she has wanted to be a writer since she was seven. She grew up in a large New Orleans family steeped in the rich and sometimes warring cultures of Italian American and Acadian French immigrants. Always loving, usually loud. She read constantly as a child and preferred that to almost anything.
A graduate of the University of New Orleans (UNO) and Loyola University, Seyler studied psychology and counseling. She worked in the field of vocational rehabilitation counseling for many years and began writing in 2020.
International Thriller Writers (ITW) has selected Carla Seyler as a member of their debut author program, Class of 2023/2024.

Comedy House New Orleans
The most unique comedy show in New Orleans is The Open Mic From Hell, hosted by Chris Trew (as seen on MTV, Comedy Central, America's Got Talent)
CHNO ( Comedy house New Orleans)
609-610 Fulton St
New Orleans, LA 70130
Mon, May 20
8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
(Entry at 7:30 pm)
The Open Mic From Hell is the most unique night of comedy in New Orleans.
Everything about the show is chaotic and unpredictable in the most beautifully hilarious way.
The list of performers? A total mystery.
The jokes they’ll tell? Nobody knows, not even them.
How does it work? Comedians sign-up on the list an hour before showtime. At least 13 names get pulled out of the bucket.
When a name gets pulled they come on stage and make a choice - do they do an entirely new set based on words from the audience, or a special challenge set.
Past challenges have had comics doing their set outside on the street, with noise canceling headphones on, and with a designated heckler in the crowd. We are always adding new, improved, and ridiculous challenges to the show.

2024 Full Moon schedule
(all times Eastern)
- June 21 — 9:08 p.m. — Strawberry Moon
- July 21 — 6:17 a.m. — Buck Moon
- Aug. 19 — 2:26 p.m. — Sturgeon Moon
- Sept. 17 — 10:34 p.m. — Corn Moon
- Oct. 17 — 7:26 a.m. — Hunter’s Moon
- Nov. 15 — 4:28 p.m. — Beaver Moon
- Dec. 15 — 4:02 a.m. Cold Moon
For instance, almost every month’s Full Moon boasts a name sourced from Native American, Colonial American, or other North American traditions, with their titles mirroring seasonal shifts and nature’s events.
Strawberry Moon (June): Marks the prime strawberry harvest season.
Buck Moon (July): Recognizing the new antlers on bucks.
Sturgeon Moon (August): Named after the abundant sturgeon fish.
Corn Moon (September): Signifying the corn harvesting period.
Hunter’s Moon (October): Commemorating the hunting season preceding winter.
Beaver Moon (November): Reflects the time when beavers are busy building their winter dams.
Cold Moon (December): Evocative of winter’s chill.
In addition, there are a few additional names for Full Moons that commonly make their way into public conversations and news.
Super Moon: This term is reserved for a Full Moon that aligns with the lunar perigee, which is the Moon’s nearest point to Earth in its orbit. This proximity renders the Full Moon unusually large and luminous. For a Full Moon to earn the Super Moon tag, it should be within approximately 90 percent of its closest distance to Earth.
Blue Moon: A Blue Moon is the second Full Moon in a month that experiences two Full Moons. This phenomenon graces our skies roughly every 2.7 years. Though the term suggests a color, Blue Moons aren’t truly blue. Very occasionally, atmospheric conditions such as recent volcanic eruptions might lend the Moon a slightly blueish tint, but this hue isn’t tied to the term.
Harvest Moon: Occurring closest to the autumnal equinox, typically in September, the Harvest Moon is often renowned for a distinct orange tint it might display. This Full Moon rises close to sunset and sets near sunrise, providing extended hours of bright moonlight. Historically, this was invaluable to farmers gathering their produce.

LSU Athletics is proud to announce its year-long celebration of 100 Years in Tiger Stadium, highlighted by stadium upgrades, events, storytelling initiatives, and a season-long celebration throughout the 2024 campaign.
Tiger Stadium, one of America’s most iconic sporting venues, first opened its gates on Thanksgiving Day, November 27, 1924. Since then, the Tigers have won 450 contests in Death Valley, which has been home to two Heisman Trophy winners, four national championship teams, and 12 SEC title-winning squads.
Included in the celebration are several upgrades to Tiger Stadium, including a new videoboard and lighting system, as well as other upgrades designed to enhance the game day experience. Other events and celebrations will be announced throughout the year.
The 2024 home schedule features several marquee matchups, including home contests against Oklahoma, UCLA, and Alabama. Information on the full 2024 schedule and season tickets will be announced in the coming weeks.
One of the most legendary stadiums in all of college football, Tiger Stadium has been called “the best place in the world to watch a sporting event” by ESPN and “the pound-for-pound king of noise in college football.”
Entering its centennial season in 2024, Tiger Stadium has been a cornerstone of LSU Athletics and the Louisiana community for almost a century, hosting numerous NFL superstars, Heisman Trophy winners, and Hall of Famers since its opening in 1924. It serves as a sporting, cultural, and commercial hub for LSU Athletics, which contributes an estimated $500 million of economic activity for the state of Louisiana annually.

- P1, Aug. 10 (Saturday): Saints at Arizona Cardinals, 7 p.m. (FOX/Gray TV)
- P2, Aug. 18: Saints at San Francisco 49ers, 7 p.m. (FOX)
