Defense wins championships. If their Cowboys defense continues to play at the level they are playing at now ... well ... we’ll see. The poor Rams, defending Super Bowl champions, faced off against two very strong defensive fronts the past two weeks in the San Francisco 49ers and Cowboys, and Matthew Stafford is likely still feeling the effects of those games. This past weekend, the Cowboys were able to sack Stafford five times as he was running for his life much of the game, thanks to three missing starters on his offensive line and absolute animals up front for the Cowboys.

Dalton, however, wasn’t the “quarterback” who shined brightest Sunday. That spotlight was square on the shoulders of the Saints' “Swiss army knife,” Taysom Hill. The Saints' tight end/quarterback/fullback/ running back threw for a touchdown on his only pass of the game, a 22-yard score to fellow tight end Adam Trautman.

There are certain services that cities are expected to deliver to citizens. These services aren’t ones that garner flashy headlines or lead the news, but when they aren’t provided to citizens and businesses, a community cannot be successful. It is clear the city of Shreveport must address the issue of infrastructure needs in a serious way because the lack of attention in this area over a period of years has stifled the potential growth of our city. One of the things the mayor and city council must realize is that for the city to grow and prosper, we must have the backing and support of our citizens; our civic and business communities, and just as importantly, the many churches, clubs and social organizations that are the backbone of our communities throughout the city. As mayor, I can provide the leadership and work with the city council on a bi-partisan basis to bring stability and growth to our beloved city.
