Asleep At The Wheel - Who Dat Social Club
The arresting officer reported that subject "was swaying on his feet, smelled of alcohol and had unsteady balance and bloodshot eyes." And, of course, Louisiana law enforcement personnel are never known to lie, exaggerate, perjure, or otherwise betray their public trust, so we have to figure the trooper was telling the truth (we’re generous that way).
Saints Receiver Joe Morgan Busted For Alleged DWI
The Earhart Expressway is a pretty damned busy highway. It's three lanes in either direction, and runs from New Orleans to the suburbs, and sometimes a Saints receiver passes out in his car in the middle of the road on a Saturday night.

After his senior year there he moved to Louisiana for his collegial studies at Tulane University; he recently graduated with a major in business management. In four years he appeared in 42 games with the Green Waves, started 39 of them and set a number of school records.

Much has been said about the New Orleans Saints undrafted-free agent class that the organization absolutely knocked out of the park after the 2013 NFL draft. In most circles the Saints had an amazing class, especially because of linebackers Chase Thomas and Kevin Reddick.

Steve Smith (the other one) retires | ProFootballTalk
“I’ve been blessed to play the game that I love at the highest level for the past six years,” Smith said in a release issued by the Buccaneers, whom Smith joined as a free agent earlier this year. “I will always cherish my time with the New York Giants and our Super Bowl victory in 2007. I also want to thank the Philadelphia Eagles, St. Louis Rams and Tampa Bay Buccaneers organizations for the opportunities they gave me. This was not an easy decision, but it’s the right decision for me at this time.”
Arian Foster on crutches, but should be fine for camp | ProFootballTalk
The thought of running back Arian Foster on crutches could derail most of the preseason optimism about the Texans. But coach Gary Kubiak said Wednesday that his star back "will be fine" for the start of training camp, via John McClain of the Houston Chronicle.
Greg Schiano: 99.9 percent of practice plays are permissible | ProFootballTalk
A report of hitting during OTAs has made its way to Buccaneers coach Greg Schiano and Schiano responded Wednesday by saying that he and his coaches teach the players the right way to practice in the offseason.
Two Pilot Flying J execs plead guilty to federal charges | ProFootballTalk
The young, aggressive prosecutors who are investigating the company run by Browns owner Jimmy Haslam previously had been quiet. On Wednesday, they broke their silence in a big way.
Rob Gronkowski needs back surgery, likely to miss start of camp | ProFootballTalk
When we last checked in on the health status of Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski, we noted that things were looking good regarding his surgically repaired broken arm, but that he was probably going to need back surgery. Now it looks like we can take "probably" out of that sentence.
Cam Newton drops some weight, looking for "edge" | ProFootballTalk
Cam Newton said he didn’t need to be part of the conversation about the league’s fastest quarterback, a title which Michael Vick thinks he still owns. But Newton has tried to streamline himself regardless, dropping 12 pounds from last season, down to 243.
Woodson has yet to finagle No. 24 from Tracy Porter | ProFootballTalk
Apparently, Tracy Porter's newcomer status to the Raiders trumps Charles Woodson's eight years of Black Hole seniority. Porter has squatted on No. 24, the jersey Woodson previously wore in Oakland. And Woodson has yet to get it away from the first-year Raider.
