Remember the days when ESPN first began to televise the NFL Draft? Commissioner Alvin “Pete” Rozelle would step up to the podium and make the announcement.

Representatives from all NFL teams were there, and they still can be. Six feet apart...

Need an even more extreme...

Saints By Position: Top 5 tight ends in franchise history

Yesterday at 12:02 PM
News source: Ken Trahan

One of the most important positions which requires a multiple skill set is the tight end position.

There are tight ends who are huge in the running game as excellent blockers at the point of attack. There are tight ends who are excellent receivers who can get up the seam or down the field, stretch a defense and make plays.

In the 53-year history of the franchise, the New Orleans Saints had had both types of tight ends and a few who could handle both aspects quite...

The NFL sent out a memo confirming the 202p draft will still be held April 23-25 as planned. Roger Goodell sent out a warning to teams not to publicly criticize the league’s stance. It was reported earlier that some teams would rather postpone the draft until a later date.

The big question from teams is the lack of medical follow-up on some players like quarterback Tua Tagovailoa who had hip surgery. He was not able to work out at the combine.

It is not totally...

For those us involved in the wonderful, wacky, wild, wooly, sometimes even weird world of sports, it is not surprising that so many people find themselves wanting for the ability to attend or to watch live games.

It is funny how we are virtually grasping at straws, searching every channel available to us to find any sporting event or game from the recent past or even distant past.
