Roger Goodell's absolute power over players is a myth
There's a popular view among some in the media that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell enjoys complete and total power over the league's players, especially on matters of discipline. That popular view also is not accurate. Apart from the reality that all discipline for on-field infractions falls under the jurisdiction of Ted Cottrell or Derrick Brooks,…

Virtual Reality Could Be More Than A Fantasy For NFL's Future

Can the New Orleans Saints afford a d-lineman in free agency?
In a league where the rules are heavily tilted in the favor of the offense, there aren't a lot of ways for the defense to fight back. All too often, their role in a game is to slow down the bleeding, not stop it. Dominating on that side of the ball has become more and more rare.But that doesn't mean it can't happen. In fact, we've seen a few examples in recent years where a very good defense was able to beat the best offense the NFL has to offer. The Giants did it in 2009 when they knocked off the previously unbeaten Patriots in the Super Bowl and the Seahawks did the same thing a yea…

Bold prediction suggests New Orleans Saints could bring an old friend back
Now that the games are over, the next few months will be spent following the NFL's off-the-field news. This will include free agency, the draft and random things like the police blotter.

The New Orleans Saints can't forget an offensive lineman in free agency
It's a tough position to evaluate. There aren't a lot of stats to help with the cause. Styles of play can sometimes skew opinions. And the difference between a win and a loss on any given play isn't always black and white.But what is clear is that it's a vital position. Whether a team is run-first or pass-happy, the ability to control the line of scrimmage is the key to any NFL offense. Thus, having a good offensive line is critical in building a team.While finding young players in the draft is one way to bolster a team in the trenches, free agency might be a better path. For one thi…

What are the New Orleans Saints' Plans at Tight End?
Since the beginning of the Sean Payton/Drew Brees era, the Saints have been a team that utilized the tight-end position extremely well; this has been a huge part of their offensive success. In 2014 the Saints tight ends were, like always, a huge part of the offense's scheme.So if New Orleans wants to keep this strategy heading into 2015, what changes need to made?Last season, the tight-ends accounted for over 1,200 yards and 17 touchdowns. The remaining receivers only had 13 combined touchdowns, so it is clear that when it comes to the red zone offense, the tight ends are even more a part of…

Is New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees too low in this week's QB Rankings?
Quarterback is the most important position in all of sports. That's why teams are so willing to pony up big bucks to a signal caller when they have (or think they have) a guy who can do the job. One look at the highest paid players in the NFL will support this fact; it's a list littered with QBs.But part of the equation is also tied to supply and demand. Sometimes, teams are forced to overpay for a quarterback because there aren't any better options available. And sometimes, a player is forced to play below his market value because he blossomed into a star after his contract was signed.…

New Orleans Saints Insider: Brandin Cooks
In his rookie season, Brandin Cooks showed tremendous athleticism. From the reverse to the 'go route,' this Oregon State Beaver did it all.After being drafted by the Saints, it seemed that Sean Payton already knew where and when to put Cooks in for the big play. His debut season had high expectations, and those expectations were fulfilled. With 53 receptions and 550 yards, Cooks certainly was an eye opener in 2014. Because of his quickness and reliability, it opened up holes for other receivers.Brandin drew defenders to him after big plays which left guys like Colston or Stills free to make…

NFL draft watch: Needs that teams should pass on in Round 1 (Shutdown Corner)
It's time to revive the need-vs.-BPA (best player available) debate, with an eye on this year's draft. I was stunned at how many comments, Twitter remarks and emails I got after my post-combine mock draft that were something along the lines of "[insert their favorite team] won't do that … they have bigger needs." Knowing that my mock will be torn to shreds after the first round of free agency, I won't defend the picks — but rather my method.

The Detroit Lions released running back Reggie Bush on Wednesday, halfway through the four-year deal he signed as a free agent before the 2013 season. Bush started 23 games for the Lions. Bush, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2006 draft, turns 30 next week. The Lions acquired Bush to provide some offensive balance for a team that had a dynamic passing game with quarterback Matthew Stafford and receiver Calvin Johnson.

And now what for Bush, who will turn 30 on March 2? Running backs usually don't have much of a market into their 30s, and Bush had just 297 rushing yards in 2014. Bush had a 3.9-yard average, his lowest since 2008. Even assuming Bush finds another opportunity, it's unlikely he'll ever reach the NFL stardom he seemed destined for when…

On 12/29/2014 the New Orleans Saints signed TE/FB Orson Charles to a reserve/futures contract. The Saints organization is known for valuing the character of the players on the roster. They have also been willing to give a chance to someone who has had an "error in judgement", shall we say, as well. While a member of the Bengals, Orson Charles was charged with wanton endangerment, for pointing a gun at a motorist on I-75.

Todd McShay Mock Draft 2015: Saints Select Vic Beasley
ESPN's draft guru Todd McShay once again thinks the Saints look to improve their pass rush in the 2015 NFL draft. With the NFL Combine complete, Todd McShay is now on the 3.0 version of his 2015 NFL mock draft and this time around, he has the Saints selecting DE Vic Beasley from Clemson. Here is how McShay defends his choice:Analysis: I've got cornerback, outside linebacker, inside linebacker and offensive line as the Saints' biggest need areas, and in Beasley they'd be filling one of those while upgrading their pass rush. He turned in one of the best all-around workouts of the 322…

One of (if not) the best running backs when it comes to screen passes. He's reliable when healthy and has good hands.

Saints News, 2/27/15: Could Flooded RB Market Lower Mark Ingram's Price Tag?
From Mike Triplett: New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram did just about everything he could last season to boost his value heading into free agency.

Goodbye To All That
This is my last post here, because I'm done with the NFL. So let's get one thing straight from the beginning: this is not a response to the Saints' loss at Seattle. Actually, I had been planning something like this for quite a long time, to be posted after the last game of the season—whatever that game was, however it ended. This is all about the damnable behavior of the so-called men behind the current NFL.

Carolina In My Mind
Three and out. Savor those words. Let them sink into your brain and emboss their shape on your cortex. Three and out. The phrase describes almost perfectly the course of this, one of the epic losses in the long, tawdry history of New Orleans Saints losses. It describes the Carolina offense, which was helpless until it wasn't. It describes the Saints' offense, which needed just ten yards to seal a victory already won, and instead gained no yards at all. I wonder: does it describe the end of our season?
22 Dec 13, 4:10pm
The Saints' loss to the Seahawks was so one-sided, so crushing a defeat, it seemed there must be shell craters on the New Orleans sideline. It wouldn't have surprised me to hear that Sean Payton had shot himself to avoid capture. But even so, it left behind unanswered questions: were the 2013 Saints nothing but a mirage? Or are the Seahawks really this good?

Rise Give Up
Here's an obvious truth: the Atlanta Falcons are not a very good team. Here's a less obvious, but more profound truth—or, at least, one you won't hear from the established media: they never were a very good team to begin with. The lesson we learned about the Atlanta Falcons was as clear as could be: they are who we thought they were.

State of the 2014 Saints
It's the mark of a poor leader, one captaining a defense ranked 31st in points per drive and 32nd in yards per drive, during one of the more disappointing seasons in Saints' history, to take cheap shots at two Saints' defensive players instrumental in the Saints' lone Super Bowl title.If you're looking for reasons why the Saints have underachieved this year, this is a good place to start:http://www.nola.com/saints/index.ssf/2014/12/junior_galette_2.html

A Cold Shower
The Saints 2014 season has been a long, cold shower. What was once championship promise has been all but been extinguished, the result of inevitability coupled with an old, familiar problem.Sprinkle in what appears to be an undercurrent of torpor, and you get 4-6. First, the new issue: Drew Brees is no longer great enough to elevate the Saints. This isn't to blame Brees for the Saints' misfortunes this year. But it's a primary reason why the Payton-era Saints have started to noticeably fade. Over their last 20 regular season games, the Saints have produced a middling record of 10-10. This…

Nothing kills quite as assuredly as does apathy.And right now, the Saints are an apathetic mess. After four weeks, it's difficult to maintain hope that it will get significantly better for the Saints this season. On offense, the Saints look passive and nonthreatening. On defense, they look confused and unmotivated. And overshadowing the whole affair is whether we're now watching the slow death of the Payton/Brees era. Nine seasons in, and it's a fair question to ask. If that's the case, what exactly are we witnessing right now? A temporary bump in the road? Or the inexorable fade to black? Of…

They're not very good right now. Anybody--whether the fans or Drew Brees--can ration…

No Simple Highway
As it turns out, getting back to the Super Bowl isn't quite so easy.Now five seasons removed from their greatest moment, the Saints, older and wiser in ways, younger and more promising in others, approach 2014 with the residue of a championship increasingly faint, the present challenges perhaps greater, the fleeting nature of opportunity threatening, yet the hope of a new day once again beaming in the distance.Navigating their way back to the Super Bowl has been a circuitous, and at times torturous, route for these Saints. They've been turned away and denied repeatedly, by Seattle, San Francis…

Should he sign a contract with a new team, the Saints, if they choose not to match the offer, would receive two first-round draft picks as compensation for losing Graham.Likely before any (meaningful) negotiations take place, however, there is the issue of whether Graham will be designated as a tight end or a wide receiver.

Could flooded RB market lower Mark Ingram's price tag?
New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram did just about everything he could last season to boost his value heading into free agency.But I still think it's possible that Ingram can remain in an affordable price range for the Saints to keep him (maybe less than $4 million per year) -- especially as the free-agent market continues to get flooded with veterans released around the league.Reggie Bush, Steven Jackson and DeAngelo Williams were the latest reported salary-cap casualties this week.

Bucs need to keep RB Doug Martin
TAMPA, Fla. – On the surface, Buccaneers running back Doug Martin looks very expendable.He's coming off an unproductive season and the coaching staff seems to have big plans for Charles Sims in his second season. The Bucs should be able to get a decent draft pick in exchange for Martin. So why not deal him?Because it would be a mistake. I'm not sure Martin ever gets back to being the 1,400-yard runner he was as a rookie in 2012.

The Bucs don't need to start from scratch, but they do need to make some tweaks.Alterraun Verner and Johnthan Banks are a solid pair of starting cornerbacks.

iPhone 5s online orders slip quickly into October
Less than one hour after beginning to offer online orders for the iPhone 5s, the Apple Store is already seeing significant delivery delays for some models, particularly gold iPhone 5s units and contract-free T-Mobile phones. Regardless of capacity, the gold iPhone 5s is currently listed with October shipment dates, while the AT&T Space Gray color is on a 7-10 day shipment delay in 64GB capacity; all Space Gray and silver capacities are on 7-10 day delays through T-Mobile.
Notably, Apple is not offering iPhone 5s pick-up options at its retail stores at this time. Orders placed immediately after Apple began online iPhone 5s sales were being offered for September 30 to October 2 standard delivery, with the option of upgrading to faster September 27 to October 1 delivery for a fee. The limited online availability appears to confirm reports that Apple has experienced difficulties in the iPhone 5s manufacturing process, specifically with the Touch ID fingerprint sensor, and was unable to produce adequate supplies of the phone to meet anticipated initial demand.

Great Opportunity to Buy Kodiak Oil 5 comments
The first time I checked out the Kodiak Oil and Gas website I was a little skeptical. Looking at a stock that has doubled since December, can make an invester wary. The PE ratio sitting at 453. Granted those numbers only mean something when converted to a PEG ratio, but still that is a big number to lay an investment on. When I looked a little further I saw a forward PE of 14.37. I had to admit to myself that I really liked any oil exploration and production company with Bakken exposure only trading at 14 times twelve months out. If there was anything that stood out about this company was their position in the Bakken formation. They have 113000 gross acres in the Bakken,Three Forks/Sanish. Kodiak has approximately 300 locations in this area and they seem to be developing the area quickly. Once I started looking into their production I could see why the PE ratio was such a large number. From the second quarter of 2010 to the end of the year they had increase production by approximately 270%. Better yet, there production is mostly oil. The 2011 capital expenditures are expected to be at 190 MM drilling and completion. This includes three operated rigs and one non-operated rig. Twenty eight operated wells and ten non-operated wells is what they estimate they will complete this year. Almost as important is the 10 MM to be spent on pipeline infrastructure. Currently, oil exploration companies in the Bakken could run into near term problems to get the oil out. Oil is being sent out by train and by truck, creating extra expense. Kodiak seems to be proactive with respect to cap ex spending as they spent 27 MM in 2009 and 75 MM in 2010. These numbers do not include any additional acreage they are planning to add. This with their intent to spend even more in 2011 leads me to believe they could be a big winner in the near term. Kodiak(NYSE:KOG) estimates they could have up to 350 possible well locations. Kodiak (KOG) has gotten good results. They are using an increased number of frac stages and larger amounts of proppant. They are planning that over 90% of their 2011 cap ex will be done on long laterals. This should further increase their production results. Going forward Kodiak (KOG) should be able to maintain adequate liquidity with the recent 150 MM equity capital raise. Borrowing base has been increased to $50 MM. A second lein facility of $40 MM is now available. They have also done some hedging to protect to the downside, just in case oil does go down in the short term. Kodiak Oil and Gas (KOG) has a very large and valuable land position with in the Bakken. They are heavily levered to oil. They have two rigs running with a third on the way at the end of the first quarter. There is one non-operated rig currently drilling. They are rapidly increasing crude production. 2010 exit rate of approximately 2700. They will have five well completions by the end of this quarter. In 2010 they drilled 21 gross wells and will do 38 more this year. To give an idea of what all of this has done to the companies balance sheet, they made six cents per share in 2010, that number will increase to 41 cents a share in 2011. In 2011, they are estimated to grow by 583.3% for the year. Kodiak(KOG) has been getting 90 day well completions. Lastly, they are making infrastructure improvements to help get their oil out. In summary, I like Kodiak Oil and Gas(KOG). That isn't much of a surprise as I like alot of names in this space like Brigham(BEXP), Northern Oil and Gas (NYSEMKT:NOG), Oasis (NYSE:OAS), and Samson (NYSEMKT:SSN). I am still an oil bull. Even if oil pulls back in the short term, it will give and opportunity to buy some of these names cheaper than a few weeks ago. Last month OPEC stated they thought $100/barrel of oil was a fair price and would not increase production. The last time oil spiked to $100, OPEC did not increase production until well after that mark. I think on those words we can guess that oil is moving up. Most of the other Bakken plays have a forward PE in the mid-twenties. So as a longer term pick, this stock is a value and a great opportunity. Watch the price action here. Looks like $5.70 is where Kodiak(KOG) has support, I would watch this level closely. I will be buying shares soon. Disclosure: I am long SSN.Additional disclosure: I may take a long position on BEXP, NOG, KOG sometime in the next 24-48 hours.
Disclosure: I am long KOG, SSN.

Manama: A Saudi doctor and activist, who was among 10 extraordinary women presented with the 2014 International Women of Courage Award, has called for the setting up of a ministry to look after women and children.
Saudi activist calls for women's ministry
'Empowering mothers, women will help nation progress'
"I see there is a need for a ministry that cares for the women and the family in general," Dr Maha Al Muneef, founder and executive director of the National Family Safety Programme in Saudi Arabia, said. "The role of women in the upbringing of children, the backbone of this country, is very significant and the marginalisation of the development role of women in any country is one of the most important impediments to progress.
"Therefore, supporting and empowering mothers and women in general and paying special attention to their social, economic, health and legal affairs have become necessary to ensure the comprehensive and sustainable development of the nation," she said, quoted by news site Sabq on Wednesday.
Women make up half of society and they are the ones that educate the other half, she added.
Al Muneef, whose programme is the first organisation in Saudi Arabia to address domestic violence and child abuse, said that it was important for society to recognise the dimension of the issue in order to address it adequately.
"The phenomenon of domestic violence exists in different societies," she said. "No society is expected to be without violence, regardless of its religious and social culture and the awareness level of its members; however, we can look at the increase in reported cases positively because it indicates the growing awareness about the problem and the importance of reporting them. In fact, I expect the figures to go up because more people today report abuse," Al Muneef, a specialist in paediatric infectious diseases who has been long campaigning against domestic violence, said.
The existence of domestic violence in the community is not shameful or embarrassing, she said.
"What is terrible is to continue to ignore the problem and not to deal with it by making up excuses in order to ignore it," she said. "Regardless of the numbers and of their genuine reflection of the reality on the ground, we should not indulge in statistical classifications. We should know that there is a problem and we must deal with it, whether the domestic violence affected one woman or hundreds of thousands of women," she said.
The Secretary of State's International Women of Courage Award annually recognises women around the globe who have demonstrated exceptional courage and leadership in advocating for peace, justice, human rights, gender equality and women's empowerment. Al Muneef was the only Arab awardee in 2014.
