Brent Musburger is back.

He might be retired from announcing, but that doesnt mean Musburger hasdropped from public view. On Thursday,he dropped a link to his debut column for Vegas Stats & Information Network, which offers sports gambling news, analysis and data.

The column is titled, New-look Pelicans bring NBA back in style, and it touches on former Kentucky stars DeMarcus Cousins and Anthony Davis joining forces in New Orleans.

Heres part of the piece:

LAS VEGAS We have not seen any NBA basketball in nearly one week and yes, I am counting that All-Star Game that was not basketball at all. The drought ends tonight.

It looked like the headline game of the night would be the Clippers at the Warriors, with Golden State a 12-point favorite. But that was before Sundays eye-opening trade that sent DeMarcus Cousins from Sacramento to New Orleans, turning two games that were of no interest into the games that carry some intrigue tonight.

Now all eyes are going to be back on the same arena where Sundays defense-less exhibition gives way to tonights matchup of the Houston Rockets and the new-look Pelicans. In New Orleans they are calling the big, new pairing of Cousins and Anthony Davis Boogie and Brow. As NOLA.com put it, they could be New Orleanss best combo since red beans and rice.

In one sense Cousins and Davis bring the game closer to the baseline than teams are used to playing, so that will create a challenge on defense for the Rockets. But Cousins and Davis are very similar in style, and it may take a while for them to mesh and find their comfort zones.

In addition to the NBA buzz, Musburgeraddresses a bit ofNASCAR news in his column. (Sorry, theres nothing about college football yet.)

Its cool to see him be so versatile. That shouldnt be a surprise, given that he had experience as a play-by-play announcer or a host for the Super Bowl, Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl, in addition to the MLB playoffs, NBA Finals, FIFA World Cup and NCAA tournament. He worked for ABC and ESPN since 1990. He called college football and basketball games for the SEC Network since 2014. Earlier in his career, he worked for CBS Sports from 1973-1990.

It will be fun to see what kind of thoughts Musburger drops in the future. The college football opinions, if there are any,should be amazing.
