Falcons Win In Wild Finish After Brees Interception And Payton Penalty
Atlanta overcame three Matt Ryan interceptions to come back and beat New Orleans, thanks to Saints quarterback Drew Brees throwing his own awful interception with his team in game-tying field goal range followed by Sean Payton drawing an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty that prevented his team from e...
Just Try To Bring Down Alvin Kamara
Saints rookie running back Alvin Kamara has turned into an absolute force this season as he’s made tacklers miss left and right. Chances are your friend won’t shut up about how he’s rescued their fantasy football team. (Great move, you’re the Howie Roseman of your league. Now fuck off.) The 5-foot-1...
Saints Get Special Teams Excellence From A QB Named Taysom
For a long time, the backup Saints QB has been a cushy gig. Aside from one emergency Luke McCown start in 2015, New Orleans quarterbacks other than Drew Brees have thrown 10 passes this decade. So, third-stringer Taysom Hill’s best chance to actually play is at a position other than quarterback. Thi...
Coby Fleener Stayed On The Field After This Helmet-To-Helmet Hit
The Saints’ Coby Fleener took the textbook definition of a helmet-to-helmet hit on a defenseless receiver from Blake Countess in the fourth quarter of the Rams-Saints game, but despite the apparent damage caused, Fleener got right back up....

Drew Brees Led A Truly Improbable Comeback
Drew Brees and the ascendent New Orleans Saints were having a decidedly “meh” game for most of the day against Washington. They weren’t getting completely destroyed, but with a little over four minutes to go, with Washington up 15, it seemed safe to just call this an off day for New Orleans....

Great Googly Moogly, The Nuggets Can Sure Fill It Up
Entering last night’s game the Denver Nuggets ranked a disappointing 14th in offensive rating on the season. They finished last season fifth in offense, at 110 points per 100 possessions; from December 15 onward—the day they moved Nikola Jokic into the starting lineup as a center—that number was 113...
Boogie Cousins And The Pelicans Might Be Good, Definitely Are Great
DeMarcus Cousins is seven feet tall. He weighs, conservatively, 275 pounds. Here he is, doing pretty much all of the basketball stuff, in a single glorious ramshackle possession:...
The Path Of Least Resistance Is Through The Bills' Rush Defense
Drew Brees is getting up in years (he’s 38 now), and there are some doubts about how far he can carry the newly promising Saints. But as long as he’s playing the Bills, anything appears possible—even a touchdown scramble....

How The Saints' Defense Finally Got Its Act Together
Two games into the season, the Saints’ defense performed down to expectations: New Orleans yielded 777 passing yards and 32.5 points per game in a pair of double-digit losses. But the Saints have since won six straight, and that beleaguered D has surrendered more than 200 yards through the air just ...
Mike Evans Lays Out Marshon Lattimore With Cheap Shot To The Back
Tempers appear to be hot all throughout the NFL this afternoon, as not long after A.J. Green went full GSP on Jalen Ramsey in Jacksonville, the Buccaneers’ Mike Evans came out of nowhere to lay a cheap shot on the Saints’ Marshon Lattimore during a stoppage in play in New Orleans. Lattimore was exch...

The Pelicans Are Already So Fucked They Have To Sign Josh Smith
Josh Smith, the guy who even three years ago was a withered hand choking to death any offense’s hopes of spacing and scoring, was last (un)seen touring with Maccabi Haifa this NBA preseason, following a stint with the Sichuan Blue Whales in China. He was reportedly looking for an NBA comeback, and i...
