Lil Wayne has security. All Rob Ryan had to protect himself from would-be muggers is his jolly disposition.

Errant voicemail revealed alleged plot to ambush ex-Saints coordinator Rob Ryan. He was wrapping up his third and final preseason with the New Orleans Saints last year when a federal worker received a strange tip on her voicemail.

This quote is the best part of this whole story ...

"He ain"t like Lil Wayne. He just a ... football coach. ... Defensive coordinator of the Saints. He don"t have no bodyguards ... in front his house."

No, he is not Lil Wayne. I would have figured the plot was hatched by someone from Who Dat Nation fed up with Ryan"s defenses costing the team so many wins.

Weezy could probably coach a better defense.

WEEK 1 NFL PICKS: Can"t miss picks for every NFL game this week. Our panel of experts is unanimous behind the Packers, Seahawks and Texans this week.

BUCS GET SHORTS: Buccaneers sign Cecil Shorts. The Buccaneers upgrade their receiving corps, they hope.

AIKMAN IS NOT PLEASED: Troy Aikman sounds off on Fox signing Skip Bayless. Said Aikman, "To say I"m disappointed in the hiring of Skip Bayless would be an enormous understatement." Bayless, if you remember, said Aikman was gay in his book about the Cowboys.

A BETTER WAY TO TACKLE: Rugby-style tackling could be the future of a safer NFL, and football at every other level. Heads Up tackling hasn’t resulted in fewer concussions, so maybe it’s time for the league to consider a different approach.

IRSAY SPEAKS UP: Colts owner Jim Irsay opens up about the Ryan Grigson-Chuck Pagano relationship. Colts owner Jim Irsay talks about the sometimes contentious relationship between GM Ryan Grigson and coach Chuck Pagano and where they stand now.

LONDON AGAIN: Why London"s soccer club Tottenham is building its new soccer stadium with NFL in mindTottenham chairman Daniel Levy is building his Premier League club"s new home to be more than just a soccer stadium. He wants White Hart Lane to someday be the permanent address for an NFL team.

EARLY DRAFT HYPE: Myles Garrett looks like he"s ready for the 2017 NFL Draft. The Texas A&M junior should have a spot in the top five, but another pass rusher could beat him to his 20-sack goal this season. Meanwhile, Chad Kelly had a frustrating display and Nick Chubb showed he"s back and ready for the NFL.

ANOTHER WEIRD PATRIOTS TRADE: Patriots continue tradition of taking on reclamation projects with trade for Eric Rowe. Eric Rowe is another early draft pick headed to New England after a rough start to his NFL career.

VIKINGS SO CRAZY: The Vikings knew it was stupid to trade for Sam Bradford, and they did it anyway. Rick Spielman’s gamble illustrates how even smart people can succumb to wild desperation.

A VERY EXPENSIVE THIRD QB: Jared Goff, the first overall pick in this year"s draft, will be inactive for Week 1. The rookie quarterback that the Rams traded a lot of draft capital for isn"t ready to play yet. In case you"re wondering, that puts the team"s punter and emergency QB ahead of him on the depth chart for this week. But don"t despair, Jeff Fisher is pleased with Goff"s progress.

WATT COULD RETURN THIS WEEK: It sounds like J.J. Watt might play this week after all. But how much will (or should) Watt play on Sunday?
