When asked if he thought he’d ever return to New Orleans, Brandin Cooks told reporters, “you always keep that bridge there. You just never know.”
Cooks was traded by the New Orleans Saints under less than amicable circumstances, but if there was ever a time for a reunion, it was now.
Mickey Loomis is the only remaining piece. Kellen Moore leads the team instead of Sean Payton. Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed are the new, young receivers instead of Michael Thomas.

It’s time to play ball.
Here are some of the top players in South Jersey heading into the 2025 season:
Players to Watch
Danielle Audet, Paul VI. The junior infielder produced eye-popping numbers at the plate last spring, batting .549 with 50 hits with a dozen doubles and five homers. For her career, Audet has 80 hits and 53 RBIs in two seasons.
Juliana Baez, Delsea. The junior third baseman batted .443 with 35 hits and 38 RBIs for the Crusaders last spring.
Alyssa Bailey, Absegami. The senior catcher/shortstop is one of the most productive hitting machines in the region.
Liam Lawson is set to be dropped by Red Bull after just two races of the 2025 F1 season – with Yuki Tsunoda in line to replace him for his home race in Japan next week.
New Zealand racer Lawson has endured a torrid opening two races as Max Verstappen’s teammate: he crashed out of the season-opening Australian GP and qualified last on the grid, twice, in China. He finished the grand prix in 12th, after three post-race disqualifications.
Inter set bonuses for Serie A and treble victory
La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Simone Inzaghi will receive a €1m bonus if Inter win the Serie A title this season, while the team will share €6m if they win the treble.
Serie A defending champions Inter are the only Italian club still involved in three competitions this season.
They are the league leaders with a three-point lead over second-placed Napoli and have qualified for the Coppa Italia semis and the Champions League quarter-finals.
Upamecano faces long spell on the sidelines
Bayern Munich will have to manage without Dayot Upamecano in the coming weeks.
The Bavarian club announced on Wednesday that in addition to Alphonso Davies, who will be out for months with an ACL tear, Dayot Upamecano has returned from international duty with an injury.
Upamecano has been diagnosed with a loose joint in his left knee and will be out of action for several weeks.
“Unfortunately, there’s always a risk of players coming back injured during the international break and this time we’ve been hit particularly hard.
LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Everton will host international sport in its new stadium just a few months after it opens.
The club announced Wednesday that a high-profile rugby league match between England and Australia will take place at Everton Stadium on Nov. 1.
The 53,000-seat venue on the waterfront at Bramley-Moore Dock will host Everton’s soccer matches starting next season, replacing the club’s long-time home of Goodison Park.
The new stadium has been staging test events in recent weeks.
Liam Lawson is set to be dropped by Red Bull after just two races of the 2025 F1 season – with multiple reports indicating Yuki Tsunoda will replace him for his home race in Japan next week.
Lawson has endured a torrid opening two races as Max Verstappen’s teammate: he crashed out of the season-opening Australian GP and qualified last on the grid, twice, in China.
The writing looked somewhat on the wall on Sunday night when Red Bull team principal Christian Horner refused to rule out an early-season swap, with Racing Bulls driver Tsunoda the obvious candidate to step up.
Colorado coach Deion Sanders’ idea for turning college football spring games into NFL-style preseason games is gaining momentum.
After Sanders publicly proposed changing spring games from one-team scrimmages to two-team exhibition games, Syracuse coach Fran Brown quickly offered to bring his team to Colorado to make it happen.

During an auction of sports memorabilia at Grey Flannel last spring, Doug Reiser was looking to buy a game-used Wayne Gretzky stick.
He wanted one from early in Gretzky’s career and was bidding on four separate sticks from the first few seasons of the Great One’s time with the Edmonton Oilers.
🎥 Atleti ace is the undisputed king of injury-time ⏱️
What a maiden season Julián Alvarez is having at Atlético de Madrid.
The Argentina international has quickly established himself as one of the most popular players with supporters following his arrival from Manchester City last summer.
What has been very notable about his performances is how he has continued to come to life in the closing stages for his side, as evidenced by his heroics after the clock ticks into injury-time…
