5. Grumpy Old Men

Jerry Jones normally greets the opposing owners before his Cowboys play on Sundays. Arthur Blank usually seeks out his visiting owner before his Dirty Birds play. On Sunday, the billionaires stayed away from each other, straying from any pregame pleasantries they normally partake in. With the bitter feud Jerry Jones is stirring up between himself and the committee of owners planning to pay Roger Goodell, it is going to make for some very awkward owners meetings.

4. Drew Brees & Double Trouble

The Saints have been and are an offensive powerhouse of a franchise for years under Sean Payton. You select hem in Madden because you know you are going to be able to score with Drew Brees and all of his weapons. You are probably playing the wrong way with the Saints though. If you are not running the ball and utilizing the screen pass, you are not maximizing the Saints’ best weapons, those being Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram. Make no mistake about it, Sean Payton and the Saints are still a juggernaut of offense, but now they also win football games because Sean Payton is using his weapons the way they should be used.

3. Clowning

JuJu Smith-Schuster and Le’Veon Bell collaborated for another touchdown celebration this past week. JuJu admitted that it was probably his worst celebration yet, but it was still memorable as Bell and JJSS paid homage to the now infamous choke hold Bengals wide receiver AJ Green gave Jaguars DB Jalen Ramsey. JuJu has shown creativity unlike anyone ever in the endzone after his touchdowns, but how will he respond when the Bengals take a cheap shot at him next time the Steelers and Bengals play each other?

2. Dustin Poirier

Nobody brings their lunch pale and goes to work in the UFC like Dustin Poirier and he did it again on Saturday’s Fight Night in Norfolk. Poirier bloodied, bruised, and beat Anthony Pettis into submission and he didn’t even have to use a hold! Poirier pummeled Pettis and kept pushing the pace so hard that Pettis eventually took a shot to the ribs and had to tap out from pain and exhaustion. That is called outworking your opponent ladies and gentlemen. Dustin Poirier is en route to a memorable scrap with either Eddie Alvarez or Justin Gaethje, and maybe even a lightweight title fight after that.

1. The Turnover Chain

Nothing says swag like some bling. Nothing says “The U is back” like a 10-karat gold chain featuring 900 green and orange sapphire stones.
