High school phenom. NCAA All-American. NBA All-Star...those words used to define Kenny Anderson. Today, he'd rather be called a father, husband, teacher, or simply "coach." On today's HITP, I talk with "Mr. Chibbs" about his journey from the courts of New York City to the sidelines at Fisk University.

LSU's 27-23 win over Arkansas didn't make anyone feel more comfortable about the Tigers' 2020 season. How did the defending champs fall so far so fast? Ed Orgeron faced a lot of questions before the season began, and now there are questions that go beyond wins and losses. It isn't much different on the basketball court, where Will Wade faces his own problems. Is LSU athletics in trouble? George Becnel and I discuss the state of things in Death Valley.

Not too long ago, I got to talk about one of my favorite topics, baseball, with my friend Andrew Snorton. He and I have known each other for more than 25 years, and he recently published his book "Nothing Minor." It's a snapshot of his coverage of up the young men trying to live out their big-league dreams. We also chronicle his journey as an independent journalist and writer.

It has been a crazy week. Helping to break it all down, from the election, to the Saints, Covid-19 across college football, and even the geographical errors of the movie "Blue Chips," is frequent contributor Hank Brady. It's real. It's fun.

After their 38-3 domination of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Saints are riding as high as they have all season. Ross Jackson and I break down just how the Saints were able to seize control early and never look back. Can the Saints' defense maintain this level of production, and what does it mean if it does? New offensive heroes have emerged and Taysom Hill's surge continues. We also look ahead to Sunday's matchup with a wounded but still dangerous 49ers team.
