Sometimes the NFL gets it right.

Case in point, the league's continuing education courses. Certainly, it's partly on the players to take part in something like this, but the fact that the NFL gives players an opportunity to further their education, well, that's a good thing.

And New Orleans' uber-smart starting quarterback is, of course, taking a...

It's never too early for preseason picks and the Sporting News thinks with the moves New Orleans made this offseason and with the moments of brilliance the team showed at times in 2008, the Saints are set for a momentous season.

Jim Haslett, welcome back to the coaching fold.

Michael Vick, maybe you, too.

Yes, in this period of economic uncertainty and recession, a group of people have decided that the XFL wasn't the last attempt at usurping the NFL as the nation's top football destination for fans.

Haslett will coach the Orlando, Fla., franchise of the new UF...



Saints free agent shopping heads back to secondary

1:20 PM Tue, Mar 03, 2009 |
Bradley Handwerger

We've talked about this ad nauseam pretty much since the beginning of the 2008 season.

But the Saints need secondary help.

Larry Holder of the Biloxi Sun-Herald thinks now that Jonathan Vilma and Jon Stinchcomb have been signed, that's precisely where the team is looking in free agency.

According to you, our readers, what is the most-needed fi...

Yes, the news that Rams cornerback Ron Bartell is sticking with St. Louis over New Orleans isn't what we'd deem breaking news, pretty much in any business.
