We are still on Drew Brees retirement watch. No news on when number nine may announce he’s hanging up the shoulder pads for good. According to an Instagram post by his wife, Brittany Brees, Drew played with several injuries. We knew about the rib injuries, but Brittany says the future hall of famer also had a torn rotator cuff and torn fascia in his foot. Coach Sean Payton is not surprised by Brees’ level of toughness…

If Brees does retire, Coach Sean Payton once again said today that he has a lot of confidence in Taysom HIll and Jameis Winston. Winston is one of several players on the Saints roster that can become a free agent this offseason.

The Pelicans face the Utah Jazz again tonight in Salt Lake City. Utah has won six in a row and just beat New Orleans on Tuesday night. The Jazz hit 21 three-pointers that night while the Pels only made six three-pointers. That’s been a common occurence for New Orleans as other teams have shot really well against the Pelicans from three-point range, while the Pels are struggling from three-point range. Tip off tonight is at 9 PM on TNT.

LSU has announced that attendance at baseball games at Alex Box Stadium will be capped at 25-percent and there will be no tailgaiting. Also the Tigers have already made an adjustment to their 2021 schedule as UC Riverside backed out of a weekend series in February. Instead LSU will play Youngstown State and Nicholls that weekend.

The Ragin Cajuns have released their baseball schedule for this season. UL Lafayette will open the season in New Orleans with a three-game series versus Tulane. The next weekend, the Cajuns will host Rice for a three-game series.
