NFL training camps open; MLB trade deadline: Bayou Bets
It’s less than two weeks until the NFL’s Hall of Fame Game that will set the preseason in motion, and already many teams have opened training camps. The New Orleans Saints will join the party on Friday on Airline Drive.
Meanwhile, we discuss why there’s no love for running backs, many of the big ones are still unemployed, including Dalvin Cook, Leonard Fournette, Kareem Hunt and James Robinson, among others. Also, OBJ is set to return from his ACL injury with the Baltimore Ravens, while Major League Baseball is just one week away from their trade deadline on Aug. 1.
In their rants, Spencer wants people to stop freaking out over injury rumors in the NFL this time of year. And Jim gives us a look ahead to the NFL team previews, which begin Tuesday on all of our social media platforms and here on Bet.NOLA.com.
“Bayou Bets” is sponsored by Caesars Sportsbook, official odds partner of The Times-Picayune and The Advocate and airs live at 4 p.m. every Monday and Thursday on the Bayou Bets YouTube channel (among other NOLA.com social media channels) and can be viewed on demand there anytime.
