Sheesh, couldn't we just have taken all our penalties from this last season?

I sure am glad it is Game Week. Safety Tanard Jackson was already suspended for the year for failing a drug test.

Yes, he's a blowhard but the comparison here raises a ton of questions.

Goodell: "Let's wait until after they make their draft picks. That'll really screw 'em."

Maybe this will be the break in the logjam we have been waiting for. . .

Run along and play now. Nothing to see here.

OK. We all knew this was coming. But 48-2? Really? Did these folks vote before Thanksgiving?

I like it. Commissioner Goodell, not so much

I hadn't realized that the Saints-Falcons Monday Night Football game in 2006 was exactly five years ago this Sunday. This excellent piece reflects from the standpoint of the broadcast professionals who covered not only the game but the wider event. I consider it easily the most memorable sporting event I have ever attended.

Mike Bell signs with the Lions. But what cleats will he be wearing?

Sorry. TUSK trouble. Crutches? Walking boot? Ouch.

for Male Athlete of the Year from the United States Sports Academy. Drew doesn't have enough accolades yet. Let's help him out. Appears there are no limits to online votes. You'll have to vote for a female athlete as well to submit your ballot.

Roby is no surprise but Thomas is expected to miss both the Baltimore and Atlanta games after surgery for a torn meniscus. Need more not only from Jimmy Graham as a pass catcher, but from Heath Evans as a lead blocker.

This is on Craigs List New Orleans. Not that I frequent that publication. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I'm not hyper-sensitive on such things usually, but he needed to man up on this one and did so. 'Nuff said.

Would not have been my first pick but a pretty good one still. Can't wait for the premiere.

Severity still unknown. Pierre's contract negotiations take a turn for sure. The PJ Hill /Chris Ivory battle just got more interesting too.

A good read. Nice to see an out-of-town writer who has this degree of knowledge and analysis. In other words, the anti-Florio. First place I have seen anyone say that this year's team may be better than last year's. Other than CSC anyway.

Lots of good background on everyone's favorite Ambushman. A worthwhile read.

and in no less than his here hometown. Might want to hold off on those Jamarcus-to-the-Saints bandwagon. Not the most serious charge in the world, unless you are looking to catch on with an NFL team after being the biggest No. 1 bust in league history.

including a stop in Mobile. WHO DAT!!

What Will it mean for Will?

He is a capable PR guy like I am a capable defensive end. Glad to see he hasn't let that Super Bowl thing go to his head. What an embarassment.
