The "experts" write all the time about who is going to do well and who is going to do poorly, whether it's the NFL, NBA, MLB, EPL, etc. But it's rare to hear former athletes talk unabashed about their thoughts and this week, we get that from former NFL quarterback Trent Green, who writes a guest column at SI.com, where normal columnist Pete... John P. Lopez at SI.com writes about the middle linebacker position and it's fleeting influence in the game professional game. While I can see his point - defensive ends and safeties seem to be gaining in importance as the league goes ever more to a pass-happy, pass-first style - I dare say the middle linebacker can still rule th... The newspaper in Alexandria -- the Town Talk -- didn't pull any punches with it's latest column about Louisiana's deal to keep the New Orleans Saints in state. I mean, vicious and low blow are a couple of words that come to mind. Sure, I get the points the paper is trying to make. But something tells me they didn't think about all the revenue th... Scott Fujita -- a.k.a. the Asian Assassin -- is one of my favorite players to interview in the Saints' locker room. He's knowledgeable, he's friendly and he actually puts thought into his answers. He's also got a good sense of humor, which makes the interviews that much more enjoyable. I'm apparently not the only one who likes Fujita. He floored a group of ...

You know what I love? When coaches who just retired or were recently fired unleash on John Q. Public what they really think about certain players or coaches or teams. John Gruden, the former Tampa Bay head coach, is the most recent case of a coach saying whatever they want following a coaching tenure. And this time, Saints fans have to be pleased. Gruden called running back >> Continue reading: Former Bucs coach Gruden: Saints' RB Thomas poised to break out
It's done. And I'm fairly positive the players are happy about it. What did we learn from the final day? Who missed? Also out were WR Robert Meachem (hamstring), WR Adrian Arrington (hamstring) and DE Paul Spicer (groin)... The Saints will go through their final offseason workout today, finishing up a five-week process, including a three-day minicamp, of installation and team fun. Today we'll see who is playing with the 1's and 2's, or at least try to to have a final unofficial depth chart set before the month break heading into training camp. Saints news from around the world (or at least the world wide web): The Saints finish OTAs this week and all will go dark on the interweb with news about the team. OK, so that's no totally true. Folks who write for blogs and like to opine about things will continue to write about the Saints' offseason moves and what is expected from the team this upcoming season. That will never change as long as the internet stays in its current format. What also won't change? Drew Brees' name ... |
