data-mm-id=”_81otoyd0r”>The New Orleans Saints, like the vast majority of their NFL brethren, are not allowed to have fans at home games as a part of the city's efforts to combat coronavirus. It's not ideal, sure, but the end goal is certainly worth the cost and it's not like the Saints are at a massive disadvantage considering other teams are by and large in the same position. New Orleans was hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic and is still battling large case numbers. As a result, it doesn't seem that fans would be allowed to attend games anytime in the near future. The Saints are apparently displeased with this to the point where they told Adam Schefter they were in talks with LSU officials to potentially play home games in Baton Rouge so that fans would be allowed…

data-mm-id=”_3bchjvmvv”>Over the weekend, I finally broke down and subscribed to my 37th streaming service, HBO Max. The first order of business was to catch up on the new movies that in a normal year I would have had to go to see in a theater. Instead, I watched Judas and the Black Messiah on opening night from my couch. It was very good. This is great I thought. Nothing can possibly ruin the high of watching first-run movies from the comfort of my own living room. *record scratch*Then I watched The Little Things. Now, I had seen people talking about this movie online. They said it was bad. The trailer looked bad. My friends, it was bad. There are spoilers ahead. Not that it matters. Unless you consider spoilers to be a little thing. In which case, they apparently matter. Because it i…

data-mm-id=”_iqvjyq3el”>Kevin Brown recently returned to the Baltimore Orioles booth after a controversial suspension that he doesn't really want to talk about. Back on the call for games on MASN, Brown was tasked with calling a blowout loss to the San Diego Padres on Tuesday. Since discussing bad Orioles results is a no-no, he instead focused on teaching color commentator Ben McDonald about Blink-182.This might be my favorite clip of the season pic.twitter.com/5SMtsgZiFr— Ryan O’Hearn Supremacy (@Os_Supremacy) August 16, 2023McDonald, who the Orioles picked with the first overall selection in the 1989 MLB Draft, threw his last big league pitch in July 1997, just a month after Dude Ranch was released and right before Travis Barker joined the band. So clearly he didn't wat…

data-mm-id=”_jj5hv6cap”>The Arizona Diamondbacks lost to the Texas Rangers in Game 4 of the World Series, but that doesn't mean their fans weren't having fun. Texas led 11-1 at one point, but a four-run rally in the bottom of the eight gave D-backs fans hope. That rush of runs was capped off by a three-run home run by Lourdes Gurriel Jr. To celebrate, an Arizona fan dove into the outfield pool at Chase Field. Check this out:CANNONBALL! 🤣 #WorldSeries pic.twitter.com/8RizFeUQWs— MLB (@MLB) November 1, 2023That's not quite a cannonball, more of a back-flop, but it had the desired cannonball effect. It was awesome. Good for that guy having some fun, even when his team was down. He was rewarded in the top of the ninth, when Corey Seager ripped a ground-rule dou…

data-mm-id=”_b0p3o0rvz”>When Texas A&M spent $75 million to push Jimbo Fisher out on November 12, a lot of noise was made about the Aggies going big with their next hire. Several big-name coaches and a few rising up-and-comers were mentioned as candidates. Fast forward a few weeks and Texas A&M settled on … Duke head coach Mike Elko? I'm sorry if I wasn't blown away by the hire. To be clear, I'm not saying Elko is a bad coach. Heck, he might even be great at Texas A&M. He was the defensive coordinator under Fisher from 2018 to 2021 and did well there. He was excellent as Notre Dame's DC in 2017 as well. He knows all the Texas recruiting connections from his time in College Station. But the 46-year-old has only been a head coach for two seasons and he d…

data-mm-id=”_gfuo1dx0c”>One of the odder parts of this NFL offseason that has, thus far, flown largely under the radar has been the Dak Prescott contract situation. As we all know the Dallas Cowboys are the crown jewel of daytime studio debate so the audience has heard quite a bit about their offseason moves (really the lack thereof) in the opening weeks of free agency. For all the complaining and criticism we've heard regarding the Cowboys' refusal to spend big and replace departing talent like Tony Pollard, there hasn't really been much about the fact that Prescott is entering the final year of his deal. Which is a mistake because what Dallas decides to do with Prescott this offseason will directly reflect the thinking of Jerry Jones and how things will go down for Ame…
