The argument can be made that if Sean Payton were on the sidelines for the 2012 season, the New Orleans Saints would have been one of the top contenders in the NFC.

The 33-year-old, who hasn’t played since 2009, finally announced his retirement after battling through shoulder issues and numerous comeback attempts since his last game. Webb now says he’s hanging it up and will focus on [...]
New York Mets shortstop Ruben Tejada isn’t the first name that comes to mind when considering explosive leadoff hitters. Former Mets star Jose Reyes held down the leadoff spot in Queens for nine seasons, stealing 370 bases over his tenure.
