Polk makes a couple of trips to the Blender to see a Zion-less Pelicans dismantle the Grizzlies and Bulls. Do we have any concerns about how good the Pels look without their young superstar!? It's a lot of fun seeing Trey Murphy develop more, and it's official: Jose Alvarado is GOOD. The Saints stink, Dennis Allen is gone (right?), and let's just see what Jameis can do with it. LaToya goes clothes shopping, and Lee Zurik goes deep undercover!

The Pelicans live up to the hype with a dominating season opener against the Brooklyn Nets. The Saints fall to the Burrow-led Bengals, but hope to regain some ground in Arizona amidst injuries, suspect defense, and average QB play.

The Saints make too many mistakes to hold the Bucs off in New Orleans and we might be seeing a switch at QB sooner than later if Jameis continues to fracture vertebrae.
