In Case You Missed It

This week’s sports rundown


1.     The J. Rod show has arrived, but Juan Soto gets to celebrate with Bad Bunny in the end.

2.     Ronald Acuna was almost set on fire

3.     The MLB tried to stage a Pujols Derby win, but The Machine ran out of juice

4.     There’s a Derek Jeter doc. But Who gives a s***?

5.     Sean Payton says he’s probably coming back to coaching but doesn’t know the destination. So, he’s dead to me, but we’ll take those picks delivered straight to Airline Dr. Overnight delivery, please and thank you.

6.     The MLB All Star game happened. The AL won again. So, there’s that.

7.     They did unveil a new “Ump Cam” and then the ump proceeded to take a foul ball to the face. Timing… am I right? 

8.     Make Mic’d up pitchers permanent.

9.     The King Fish mascot that got decapitated by AJ Dillion is actually a tiny human that is 5’9 and runs cross country

10.  Mike Evans is a 99 in Madden 23. My only take away from that is that I apparently slept through an entire season. 

11.  Madden gave Kamara a 90 rating, and apparently Joe Mixon is better. More proof I entered a year long slumber at some point 

12.  James Harden is worth 34mil a year huh? Agree to disagree Philly 

13.  Kyler Murray got a BAG!! He is going to make more in a year than the A’s (team who drafted him in baseball) are paying their entire roster. 

14.  Michael Thomas on PUP to start camp. 550 days and counting

15.  Davenport also on PUP. Rinse and repeat 

16.  The Rams Super Bowl Rings… Holy S***

17.  Alternate helmets…. ALTERNATE HELMETS EVERYWHERE 

18.  Vince McMahon has officially retired. That’s a dirty old man 

19.  Inside the park grand slam?! WHAT????

20.  28-5 in a baseball game?! What happened to the mercy rule?? The Red Sox are incompetent 

21.  The rangers record lives!!!

22.  Alex Manoah talked trash to a batter after he struck him out and baseball people are furious with him.  How dare he have a personality in this sport? The nerve 


What to look out for next week


            Unfortunately, we’re in the dead period on the sport’s calendar.  It’s pretty much baseball and nothing else.  However, in baseball, keep an eye on the trade market with the trade deadline right around the corner.  We should start to see the rumor mill heat up.  Lastly, football is finally back.  Kinda.  Saints training camp starts Tuesday! Who Dat?


See y’all next week!

Cornerback Room Outlook: Youthful Breakout On The Horizon?

By Kaden Arkeder • June 23, 2026
Cornerback was one of the positions going into the offseason I thought could use another major infusion of talent. Outside of Marshon Lattimore’s time with the Saints the team has not had a bona fide number one caliber cornerback. We’ve seen the defense benefit from having one and what the defense looks like without one in recent years. The defense can still be very well be good and effective without a number one but knowing you have one who can take the opposing team’s best receiver out of the game is a game changer. So the Saints have gone through the offseason without any flashy additions to the cornerback room. I’m sure they would have liked to but with all the focus on upgrading the offense it seems like the plan will have to wait for another day. In the meantime though there is a major opportunity for the young cornerbacks on the roster to show they can be long term answers at the position. Kool-Aid McKinstry is entering his third year in the league and offers the best chance of these young corners to break out and become a number one corner. He’s been a reliable starter who has shown flashes of success but with the inconsistency you expect from a young player. Kool-Aid will look to make the patented third year jump a lot of young players tend to make. I’m sure the Saints would love to see it and they just might be with the feedback we have been getting from OTA’s and minicamp.
