Trill Williams was never going to see the field this year anyway.

Probably. But now we may never have the trill of seeing him try.

You're probably right; still, this hurts because the team needs to keep throwing raw talented players like The Trill at the player pool to keep 'em tight...

Sean preaches Competition Street (only no criticism of team mgt from the press), but he's right on this, you gotta keep guys honest, fighting every day...

Plus, thought it'd be pretty cool having a DB named Trill - Oh, well, some blues seems apropos right about now...

So what's Del Breax doing these days?

According to Twitter, wrote a book that includes how he was misdiagnosed by the medical staff of the Saints and mistreated by the coaching staff....

The Thrill is Gone is an amazing song, but another blues song for this situation comes to mind:

I Love The Blues! It is the most natural music for me to play along with my harmonica and always puts me in a nice mellow mood.

Second, though admittedly lesser without Brees, this roster is still stocked with only a few holes, we're just looking for best available to push, improve our roster...

The 51 Rule is only until after the last preseason game then they all count against the cap.

51 is solely to allow teams to carry as many players as they want for evaluation purposes until preseason is over. After that even the practice squad goes against the cap.

One of my favorite, prized albums is B.B. King Live at San Quentin...

Back in the day when traveled as leader of my fraternity, one of my brothers and I drove the New England Coast visiting chapters for a month that summer...

What made it memorable was making that drive, top down, and Mr. B.B. King lamenting some Catfish Blues in Never Make A Move Too Soon...

Well, I wish, I was a catfish
Swimmin' along in the deep blue sea
I'd have all these pretty women
Fishin' after me...Fishin' after me...Fishin' after me...
