Ken's Guests: Dax Norris, Jeremy Kennedy, and Garland Gillen.
It has been one week since the New Orleans Saints chose quarterback Tyler Shough with the 40th pick of the NFL Draft. It seems as if ever since, the media has already anointed him as the starter for the team's opener on Sept. 7. In other words, the same “experts” who said the Saints would not restructure Derek Carr's contract and would let him go are now saying Coach Kellen Moore will choose Shough and bypass Spencer Rattler, and at the same time dismiss Carr for real this time. What's true, and what isn't? What make sense, and what doesn't? Host Jim Derry spends asks Garland Gillen on FOX-8 on Friday's Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 369) presented by Evangeline Securities. Also, Jim and Garland talk “way too early” over/under win totals, and Jim's “last Word” looks back 47 years to the May 3, 1978 flood.
Are “media outlets” stirring the pot when they keep talking about the Saints potentially trading wide receiver Chris Olave, or is it just click bait? What about Derek Carr? Host Jim Derry has his thoughts (well, duh), and he brings on FOX-8 sports reporter Garland Gillen to hear what he thinks, as well, to close another week of Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 355) presented by Evangeline Securities. Jim also will talk about the LSU women in the Sweet 16, some craziness in the NCAA men's tournament, and Gabe Henderson his here for another 'Man vs. Machine' best bet of the day. (Is Gabe the man or the machine?)
Ken Trahan's Guest: Steve Worthy. Garland Gillen
We are well aware of how tough it would be to find positivity from the New Orleans Saints, who will be trying to avoid a seven-game losing streak (which would be the first for the team since 1999). Still, with quarterback Derek Carr's return, is there any hope remaining at all? Jim Derry asks that and much more of FOX-8's Garland Gillen on an All Saints Day version of the Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 304) presented by Evangeline Securities. We also answer questions from fans such as: “Will Dennis Allen be fired if the Saints lose this weekend? What would it take for Mickey Loomis to leave? Should they tank to get a better draft pick? (Eye roll.)” We also talk about Tulane's victory at Charlotte on Thursday night, LSU's upcoming game vs. Alabama and the struggles of the New Orleans Pelicans and unrealistic expectations and wants of local fans.
It's official: New Orleans Saints right tackle Ryan Ramczyk will miss the entire 2024 season and his future in football is in serious doubt. So does that mean it's set in stone first-round pick Taliese Fuaga will begin the year as the starting left tackle and Trevor Penning will be at right tackle? Will Nick Saldiveri start at left guard? Does the extension of Rashid Shaheed help solidify the wide receiving corps? What about LSU? They were predicted to finish fifth in the SEC – is that too high, too low or just right? Is their schedule one of the easier ones in the league? Host Jim Derry asks these questions of Monday's guest, Garland Gillen of FOX-8 Sports. Just 2 days before the start of Saints training camp, there's plenty to talk about on the Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 256) presented by Evangeline Securities, and Jim finishes the show with his ‘Extra Point' that focuses on the embarrassment and near-monumental upset of the US Men's Basketball Team against the South Sudan this past weekend.
In HOUR ONE of the Sports Hangover, Garland Gillen joins the show, as we're less than a month away from the Saints kicking off the preseason.
The New Orleans Saints have another major injury on their defensive line, as it was learned Tanoh Kpassagnon will almost surely miss the start of the regular season and beyond with a torn Achilles tendon. That pairs up with Chase Young's neck injury that could have him sidelined into Opening Day. What does this mean – especially with the tough schedule early in the season? That's a major topic of discussion for Jim Derry and his guest Garland Gillen of Fox-8 Sports on Wednesday's Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 244) presented by Evangeline Securities. They also will talk about the offensive line projections and whether the Saints will make any moves before the start of training camp. And what about LSU baseball, as they head to North Carolina for the Chapel Hill Regional, and is it possible they could host a Super Regional if they make it that far? On the 'Extra Point,' Jim is thrilled of the retirement news from Angel Hernandez, the worst game official in the history of sports.
In HOUR TWO of the Sports Hangover, Ralph Marbrough of the Saints happy hour podcast joins the show. And we preview NFL schedule release day.
It seemed like it was all there for the New Orleans Pelicans to steal Game 1 on the road at Oklahoma City on Sunday night, but scoring just two points in the final 3½ minutes and hitting the free-throw line just nine times all night spelled a heartbreaking 94-92 loss. Can they rebound in Game 2? Will Brandon Ingram, CJ McCollum and others step up? The good news is it's NFL Draft week, and Jim Derry gets things kicked off with FOX-8's Garland Gillen on Monday's Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 229), as they'll also dive into the prospects of LSU receivers Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas, and where they might go Thursday night. Oh, and maybe the best move for the New Orleans Saints is to trade down on Day 2 to get a couple more higher picks? Lastly, on the 'Extra Point,' Jim is all positive in looking back to the 2017 Draft that produced gems like Marshon Lattimore, Ryan Ramczyk and other starters. And, of course, some guy named Alvin Kamara. We also look ahead to a busy week of Dattitude and shows on four mornings, including a preview of Thursday night's live Draft show on NOLA.com.
In HOUR ONE of the Sports Hangover, Garland Gillen of Fox 8 joins the show, and we look ahead to a big one in the blender tonight as the Pelicans host the Clippers.
It is a bit early to call New Orleans Saints tackle Trevor Penning an all-out bust, but the team certainly has to figure out what they want to do at tackle before the NFL Draft begins in a little over 7 weeks. That has to be priority No. 1, doesn't it? That is the lead topic of discussion on Monday's Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 210), as host Jim Derry brings in FOX-8 Sports Managing Director Garland Gillen to talk about it, as well as a look at the rising stock of LSU wide receivers Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas. Lastly, Garland and Jim will share their thoughts on Iowa's Caitlin Clark surpassing the all-time point record in college basketball set by LSU's Pistol Pete Maravich back in 1970. Should it be a record? Should Clark have an asterisk? Should they even be mentioned together? And in Monday's Extra Point, Jim shows what Clark's numbers would be had she played by the rules of the NCAA 54 years ago. Hint: She would be WAY off.

As the New Orleans Saints are now within 3 weeks of the start of the regular season, it's a good time for injuries to be on the mend. It looks like that might be the case for the Black and Gold with Andrus Peat, Kendre Miller, Demario Davis, Rashid Shaheed and others. What about Michael Thomas and the report he hasn't quite been on his game? Will he be able to serves as the team's No. 2 to Chris Olave? Fox-8 sports director Garland Gillen joins Jim Derry on Dattitude (Ep. 161) to talk about it, and to look ahead to the seasons for LSU and Tulane.
Buckle up for a packed episode start-to-finish as we welcome in special guest and a long-time friend of the guys, Garland Gillen of Fox 8 Sports in New Orleans. Recorded the day before Saints veterans reported to training camp, Garland brings it in this episode with his Saints analysis and insider perspective into what to look for, what to expect, and players to watch as the Saints report to camp on Airline Drive. But, we don't stop at training camp! If you live in New Orleans and tune in to local sports broadcasts or just follow the Saints, you've undoubtedly seen our guy Garland (aka, the G Man!) on the air or social media. If not, you'll quickly become aware on the pulse he has on all aspects of the local sports scene – college, high school, even soccer (or for our British friends, the other “football”). We get into pretty much all of it. Since Garland and Max go way back, including to Max's restaurant days, this episode has no shortage of talking NOLA food and restaurant scene. As is often the case whenever the guys strike up a convo with Garland, “food and football” are often the main course. Be sure to listen through as we also get Garland's take on some local high school recruiting scoop, including last year's Arch Manning recruitment and the recently named No. 1 RB Prospect in the country, prepping locally at St. Martin's High School in Metairie. If you don't know about him, you will after this episode. Also, we talk about Garland's streaming appearance on Hulu's Algiers, America. Great insight you definitely don't want to miss. LISTEN IN! WHO DAT?!
