So the Saints signed their first-round draft choice, DB Kenny Vaccaro, last week. They followed that up with signing the rest of their draft choices at the team’s rookie mini-camp this past weekend, just two weeks after the draft. My only comment is: “Where’s the fun in that?”
It's the most exciting off-season week of the year for NFL faithful, but Draft week is gut-wrenching for NFL general managers, head coaches and personnel staffs.
Today's theme, at least in New Orleans, is out with the old and in with the new. The Hornets lost to the Dallas Mavericks Wednesday night to end a dismal 27-55 season, but on Thursday morning the New Orleans Pelicans are undefeated and looking skyward. At midnight, the Hornets turned into a pumpkin likely to be returned to Charlotte, and Tom Benson's new Pelicans franchise officially opened for business.
One of the saddest parts of the sports business is an athlete's refusal to admit it's over.
In the beginning, there was the Cap, and it was good. NFL owners of diverse means but common interest gazed upon this foundling and were sorely amazed.
My spring officially sprung this week. No, I didn't see a robin in the yard.
The NBA trading deadline has passed, and anybody who roots for the New Orleans Horlicans should be disappointed. Certainly not for the same reason other teams were active, to pick up a player who can make a positive difference down the stretch. No, Horlican fans should be upset because the team did not get rid of a dead weight who is making a difference on the negative side.
The aging athlete is a pitiful thing in America, especially when their glory days are more a matter of our own conjecture than any pen-and-ink record of accomplishment.
Super Bowl XLVII had its memorable moments, including a first-ever power glitch, but let us talk about the game first. The Ravens went up big early and had to hold off a furious San Francisco rally, which they did thanks to two huge defensive plays in the fourth quarter.
Well, the big day is almost here, and it's time to stick my head in the oven and pick the Baltimore Ravens to win Super Bowl XLVII.
