Saints’ Michael Thomas is going to prove all his haters wrong in 2021
If you ask a bunch of random people on the street who the best receiver in the National Football League is right now, you’d probably get a wide array of different answers.

Oh no, Tim Tebow might actually make the Jaguars’ roster
Tim Tebow is going to be back in the NFL because Urban Meyer still thinks it’s 2007 at the University of Florida.

Sean Payton Is Trying To Motivate The Saints With More $1 Bills Than You've Ever Seen In Your Life
Football coaches have tried a lot of motivational techniques over the years. Tony Sparano dug a hole and buried a football. Jay Norvell wore a blue shirt. Jon Gruden sends players who play well to good teams. Jack Del Rio did whatever he did that resulted in his punter suffering an ax wound. Most o...
Malcolm Jenkins Flipped Off Sean Payton After Alvin Kamara Burned Him
The Saints spent their entire Sunday afternoon embarrassing the Eagles, but the most humiliating moment might have come early in the fourth quarter of the eventual 48-7 win.

Sean Payton Destroyed A Fire Alarm Before The Saints Destroyed The Bengals

Sean Payton Claims He Doesn't Remember Shit-Talking Devonta Freeman
There was a weird moment during last night’s game between the Saints and Falcons, when Saints head coach Sean Payton did some premature gloating.
