Saints Defender's Softball Snag Makes Highlights (VIDEO)


Saints cornerback Dion Turner made an amazing grab to rob the opposing offense last night. Instead of on the gridiron, however, Turner's grab was on the softball field. Backpedalling and eventually falling over metal barriers, Turner managed to hold onto the softball hit by a Saints offensive player at the Ben Grubbs Charity Softball Game at Zephyr Field, which the Saints defense won by a score of 10-2. Sorry major leaguers, it was even good enough for Sportscenter's top plays. Click through to view:

Who Dats already thought the Saints' Drew Brees was a god, and according to Sports Illustrated's list “The Fortunate 50,” his pay reflects his divinity. With a salary of $40,000,000 and another $7,800,000 in endorsements (including his recent Wrangler deal), Breesus rounds out the trinity at number three, out of all of the athletes in the country.


NFL Draft Wraps: Saints Say Yes to the Dress, LSU Sets Record


Another NFL Draft is in the books, meaning the handicappers can get started on the Kentucky Derby.

NFL Draft Update: Saints' 5 Minute Flurry, LSU Heads for Arizona


The first round of the NFL Draft is all lights and glam, but like many good fighters, pro football teams understand the fight is not over until much later.

NFL Draft: Saints Pick Kenny Vaccaro, Keke to Cleveland


In the end, Keke wasn't even available for the Saints, so they looked to hook'em with the 15th pick. LSU's Barkevious Mingo went to Cleveland with the sixth pick in the NFL Draft, and the Saints selected Texas safety Kenny Vaccaro with their first round selection.


Scott Fujita Retires from NFL -as a New Orleans Saints Player
