2014 Games to Watch
Here are a few of the most pulse-pounding matches to watch this season.
2014 Predictions
Every season, I make predictions that never seem to pan out, but that doesn't stop me from pulling predictions from my cloudy crystal ball. Maybe I need to fix the reception in this thing.
JFP Poll: 2014 Preseason Top 25
Last season ended with Florida State at the top of the poll. While there are no free trips to Disney World for the team, it does land the top spot in the first poll of this season.
The Littles
It's easy to see why Alcorn State fans think this season will bring the team's first SWAC Championship since sharing the title with Grambling in 1994.
The Slate
Football that counts is so close that I can taste it. How close is it? It is closer than you think if you read the Slate.
Too Many Flags
Friday night's game between the New Orleans Saints and Tennessee Titans became a flag fest. It seemed like neither team could run a play without a yellow flag littering the field.

At night and on weekends, Pamela Bates Graham puts on the green and black uniform of the Capital City Roller Girls and transforms into Graham Reaper.

The wait is finally over. Football is back. This is the time of year I tell my wife and daughter that I love them but I won't see them on weekends again until after the Superbowl.
Good Luck, Everyone
Over the next two weeks, all the colleges and universities start their football seasons, and I hope each team has a successful one.

This offseason has seen the New Orleans Saints make cuts left and right, some of which were obvious—but last week, the team made cuts that were a bit of a shock.
Jairus Byrd
Former Buffalo Bills free safety Jairus Byrd's first stop was New Orleans, and the Saints didn't let him out the door. Byrd signed with New Orleans after five seasons with the Bills.

Mississippi has six Division I basketball teams, but none made the field of 68 NCAA Tournament. Southern Miss did receive a bid to the NIT.
Breaking Down the Madness
Since the NCAA Tournament bracket came out at 5 p.m. Sunday, I have been studying it trying to figure out how to fill it out. I keep track of a lot of college basketball, but it is just about impossible to keep track of every team.
Devin Booker and Victoria Vivians
This Friday, the top senior boys and girls of Mississippi will face off against the top senior boys and girls from Alabama in the 24th annual Mississippi-Alabama All-Star Basketball games.
My Lost Billion
Waited until the first four play-in games of the NCAA Men's Tournament were complete before filling out brackets on various websites late into the night. I felt confident that some were good brackets, and went to sleep excited about the tournament starting late in the morning the next day.
The Slate
Somewhere in the world, Warren Buffett is laughing that no one was able to win his billion-dollar bracket challenge. I, myself, busted out at ESPN, Yahoo, Sports Illustrated, Fox and other places.

New Orleans tight end Jimmy Graham is the target of a new rule after one of his earth-shaking dunks following a touchdown against the Atlanta Falcons in the Georgia Dome tilted the goal posts.

It is time for one of the best sporting weekends of the year, featuring the men's Final Four and WrestleMania. This time, the showcase of immortals is in New Orleans.
