Earl K. Long is one of Louisiana’s most colorful and controversial governors — and the only sitting governor ever committed to a mental institution, not once, but twice. Long was far from the “crazy country bumpkin” some claimed him to be. He was a sharp, fearless politician and a champion of working-class Louisianans. His private life also made headlines, particularly his highly publicized affair with New Orleans burlesque star Blaze Starr.
Exploring the stories that transcend the sport, veteran journalist Lyn Rollins sits down with Louisiana sports greats to learn the stories behind the headlines and the stats.
