Mickey Loomis doesn't get it.The longtime Saints general manager spoke on WWL radio in New Orleans on Wednesday and expressed disappointment by the sea of silver and blue in the lower bowl of the Caesars Superdome during Sunday's 33-28 Lions win."That's disappointing...But I understand the economics of it...season tickets are expensive and you can't go to every game...But I was a little caught off guard," said Loomis, seemingly unaware that fans aren't bothered by paying for season tickets but are instead fed up supporting one of the most disappointing teams in the league.

By the end of it all, the Buffs 4-8 and Lewis seemed to be on the outs.He ultimately became the head coach at San Diego State, which goes down as a nice promotion, but no matter how things ended with Sanders at Buffalo, Lewis recently told Jim Rome that he has no regrets...

Iowa star Caitlin Clark is making a case for being one of the best college basketball players, male or female, ever. In No. 4 Iowa's matchup against rival Iowa State on Wednesday, Clark became only the 15th player in NCAA history to surpass 3,000 career points. Meanwhile, the milestone helped Clarke accomplish an impressive first. According to ESPN, Clark is the only Division I player, male or female, to record 3,000 points, 750 rebounds and 750 assists.

Aurora City Council member Danielle Jurinsky said Monday that Denver Mayor Mike Johnston is bussing migrants into Aurora and buying them hotel rooms. Jurinsky made the revelation toward the end of the meeting during council report period. “I have a report that I would like to bring to the people of Aurora,” Jurinsky said. She went on to explain how Denver, a so-called sanctuary city, is bussing migrants out of its boundaries and into Aurora. She said one of her employees who was living at the Quality Inn at Mississippi and Abilene was tossed onto the street because of the incoming migrants. Jurinsky alleged the contract with the hotel doesn’t even have Denver City Council approval yet. She said the mayor must have thought this would fly under the radar. “Little did they ever think there would be an employee of a sitting council member” displaced. She called her employees “hard-working American citizens.” She said her employee and his husband lived at the hotel with their service animal for about a year.

The Denver City Council will consider again Monday extending the mayor’s emergency declaration over homelessness. In reality, Denver is facing two emergencies – the matter of the unhoused population that’s already here, and the issue of migrants from south of the border that have come flowing into the city. From December 2022 to August 2023, the Denver mayor declared an emergency around the migrant influx. The situation with the migrants is even more urgent now. Migrants who have timed out of the city’s shelter system are living on the streets in tents. Many are families with young children and pregnant mothers.
