The Pelicans tip-off a new season tonight as they host the Denver Nuggets at 7 PM inside the Smoothie King Center. New Orleans began last season with a 1-and-11 record and Head Coach Alvin Gentry wants to avoid that kind of start…:
Cut 16 (17) “of numbers”
Pelicans star Anthony Davis starts the season healthy and first round pick Buddy Hield should help New Orleans on the offensive end.

In the World Series opener last night, the Cleveland Indians beat the Chicago Cubs 6-0. The Game 1 winner has taken the title in the last six Series and 17 of 19. Game two’s start time tonight has been moved up an hour to 6pm due to rain in the forecast.

The Saints defense has struggled this season, a big reason why New Orleans is 2-and-4 on the year. But maybe they’ll have a good game this Sunday when they host the Seahawks. Seattle has scored 111 points in six games, which is tied with the Chicago Bears for the fewest in the NFL. Kick-off is at noon.

LSU running back Leonard Fournette has certainly turned his attention to Alabama, as he said in an interview on SEC Now during a game of “Fact or Fiction” that it was a fact the Tigers are going to beat the Crimson Tide. Fournette is coming off a record setting performance against Ole Miss Saturday night.

Meanwhile, an angry Reverend who is an Alabama football fan reportedly believes a Crimson Tide beat reporter should be beaten with a bat for suggesting LSU might be a true contender in the November 5th game. The reporter tweeted the message from the man of the cloth which said “Do you think that any jury in Alabama would convict an Alabama fan if they took a ball bat and beat the crap out of you?” In the article the writer suggests LSU is finding their groove just in time for the Bama game.
