The New Orleans Saints locked up one of their veteran safeties on the first day of free agency Friday, but not the one that everyone’s been wondering about.

Is Johnson afraid of being labeled a sore loser? “He takes his football very seriously,” Bloomer said.

This video recaps all the nay-sayers. Those who were picking the Colts over the Saints. Very sweet.

Talk about striking while the iron is hot. A Louisiana lawmaker has proposed “Who Dat Nation’’ license plates be made available by the state.

You want to see government move quickly on something? Keep an eye on this one. The bill is supposed to be filed before the next legislative session starts at the end of March. Just a hunch here, but I’m thinking it would not be a wise career move for any politician to oppose this one.
