It’s Clown Time

Tuesday Sep 20, 2022

Tuesday Sep 20, 2022

The Saints make too many mistakes to hold the Bucs off in New Orleans and we might be seeing a switch at QB sooner than later if Jameis continues to fracture vertebrae. The Pelicans have a Euro MVP on their bench in Willy Hernangomez, and slice into the very long off-season with an open practice! Tulane "shocks" Kansas State, LSU makes a statement in the fourth, and a clown is arrested at Dairy Queen.

Wednesday Jul 13, 2022
