Super Bowl LIX is set for Feb. 9 in New Orleans, and we're counting down the days until the game takes place in the Caesars Superdome with a look back

The Kansas City Chiefs upset the Minnesota Vikings 23-7 in Super Bowl IV at Tulane stadium in Super Bowl IV, which was historic for myriad reasons in New Orleans.

If snow is a blanket for grass, the grass in Minnesota is feeling cold and vulnerable while the grass along the Gulf Coast is cozied up in a weighted snow blanket after 6-10+ inches buried the coastline from New Orleans to Pensacola.

That's wild considering it hasn't snowed in New Orleans since 2009, and their last "big" snowstorm was in 2008 when 1-2 inches fell. Up to five inches of snow could accumulate in the Houston area. The all-time record snowfall in Houston is 3.0 inches, so this is very clearly a historic situation.

New Orleans & Tuscaloosa owe the Dolphins medical staff a great deal of gratitude. Drew Brees failed his physical in ‘06 during his free agent visit to Miami. Nick Saban wanted to sign the Future Hall of Famer that offseason. The deal was dead. Brees’ agent had a favor to ask of… pic.twitter.com/15ixrIhXfM

Drew Brees left the Los Angeles Chargers as a free agent in 2006, joined the New Orleans Saints, and embarked on an incredible 15-year stint with the franchise.

UMC nurses say management has stalled bargaining on first contractNurses at University Medical Center (UMC) in New Orleans, La., have voted to authorize a two-day strike. If officially called, this would be the second strike by UMC nurses amid ongoing negotiations for a first union contract with their employer.
