• The distinctive 'Yat' accent is fading away. What might New Orleans lose with it? (nola.com) — Metairie gets several nods in this deep dive into the fading "Yat" accent, from a local dive bar to residents who grew up in nearby neighborhoods and suburbs. The piece explores how Hurricane Katrina, suburban migration, and changing attitudes are reshaping New Orleans speech, while longtime Yat speakers and scholars work to document and celebrate the dialect's cultural roots before it disappears. 
• Biggest Winners, Biggest Losers from 53-man Roster Cut for the Saints (klfy.com) — Saints fans in Metairie will want to know which fringe players survived Sunday's 53-man roster cuts and who was left out after training camp at the Ochsner Sports Performance Center. The breakdown highlights several defensive backs and linebackers who boosted their stock with strong preseason grades, while veterans like Isaac Yiadom and Terrell Burgess landed on the wrong side of the numbers game.
