For the first time since 2005, the New Orleans Saints begin a football season without either quarterback Drew Brees or head coach Sean Payton as part of the organization. The duo presided over the lengthiest, most successful era in franchise history in which they made nine playoff appearances and won Super Bowl XLIX against Peyton Manning’s Indianapolis Colts. The final year of the Payton era in 2021 was his only in New Orleans without Brees as his quarterback, and the shift was evident. New Orleans finished 19th in points scored among NFL teams last season and 28th in yards gained…
Perhaps the most shocking hire in college football during this last coaching carousel was Brian Kelly. You may argue that it was Lincoln Riley to USC, but the rumors of Riley leaving OU were flying around for several years. Many folks just did not expect it to be to USC. Brian Kelly to LSU though, was stunning as most people probably figured Kelly was staying at Notre Dame until he retired. At 60 years old, it looked like Kelly would enjoy another five or so years at Notre Dame and retire as an Irish legend. That is not the case,…

Zion Williamson is one of the most polarizing names in the entire NBA, really in all of sports. Why is he so polarizing, you may ask? Because when on the floor, he is a bonafide superstar and perhaps in a way never seen in the NBA. He can dominate a game physically the way Shaquille O’Neal used to, but he does it in such a different if not more exciting way. He is an athlete that is in a class of his own. Built with the strength of an NFL defensive tackle, the vertical of a power dunking 6-foot guard,…

The Gaming Division Director from the AG’s office, Christopher Hebert, cleared things up in a conference in Chicago: “The board’s day-to-day operations have not, and will not, cease. We have operated three times in the past…
