Podcast appearances and mentions of jim derry

Supposedly, the race between Tyler Shough and Spencer Rattler continues, at least according to the New Orleans Saints and Coach Kellen Moore. Did anyone's opinion change after a 17-17 tie against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday at the Caesars Superdome? Saints fans had plenty to say, and Jim Derry let them roll on our weekly Mano E Monday edition of the Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 404) presented by Evangeline Securities. While Rattler threw the best AND worst passes of the day and led the team on a great 2-minute drive to tie the score, Shough just sort of did his thing. Jim has ‘Derry's Dimes' to offer his opinion, but he also talks some about what's more concerning: the play of the offensive line. Does the trade for Jags backup center Luke Fortner help? And has Kendre Miller wrapped up the RB2 job behind starter Alvin Kamara?

Has the New Orleans Saints first preseason game against the Los Angeles Chargers changed anyone's mind on whether Tyler Shough or Spencer Rattler will win the QB1 job? It's time to ask someone outside the building for their opinion? Jim Derry brings in Ross Jackson of the “Locked on Saints Podcast” of his thoughts on Wednesday's Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 402) presented by Evangeline Securities. They also will talk about what's going at RB2 – is it Kendre Miller, Cam Akers or Clyde Edwards-Helaire who wil backup Alvin Kamara? Does Velus Jones have a chance to get in there? And what's up with all these injuries? Also, Gabe Henderson has an interesting hypothetical question for Jim, and the Dat Family – as usual – has plenty of comments and questions throughout the show.

Jim Derry, the host of the "Datitude" podcast for NOLA.com, joined Sports Talk. Derry projected Tulane's chance to make the 2025 College Football Playoff. He recapped the Saints' 27-13 loss to the Chargers in their preseason opener. Derry broke down New Orleans' quarterback competition between Spencer Rattler and Tyler Shough. He also previewed LSU's season-opening matchup at Clemson.

Mike and Bobby interviewed Buddy Songy, an analyst for TigerBait.com, and Jim Derry, the host of the "Datitude" podcast for NOLA.com. Songy broke down his observations from LSU's fall camp, highlighting the Tigers' "nasty" defense, talented weapons, and questionable offensive line. Derry projected Tulane's chance to make the 2025 College Football Playoff and previewed LSU's season-opening showdown at Clemson. Derry also recapped the Saints' 27-13 loss to the Chargers in their preseason opener.

Bobby and Mike discussed the start of the NFL's preseason, explaining that winning these games doesn't matter. The guys evaluated New Orleans' standout young defensive pieces in their 27-13 loss to the Chargers: Fadil Diggs, Jaylan Ford, Isaiah Stalbird, Khristian Boyd, and Chris Rumph II. Bobby also shared his thoughts on rookie quarterback Tyler Shough's debut performance. The guys explained the Saints' "rebuilding" status with Dave Hilbert, the marketing manager of The Silver Slipper, and WWL listeners. Mike and Bobby interviewed Buddy Songy, an analyst for TigerBait.com, Jim Derry, the host of the "Datitude" podcast for NOLA.com, and Stan Verrett, a sports commentator.

“Pigs have flown!” “Hell has frozen over!” “Get ready to party with the Lombardi!” All lines that have been cemented in the brain of every New Orleans Saints fan on the planet. And that's just a small sliver of the career of legendary broadcaster Jim Henderson. We're happy to say that Jim joined Jim Derry on Friday's Dattitude Podcast presented by Evangeline Securities to celebrate the 400th episode to talk about his 47 years in New Orleans, including how it all started. What was it like to work with Archie Manning, Hokie Gajan and Deuce McAllister? How much grief did he take when he replaced Hap Glaudi, and how did he get past it? So many questions, and so little time! Also, Jim previews the Saints-Chargers preseason game coming up Sunday, and later asks Gabe Henderson for his analysis on his NFL team predictions from the AFC East and NFC East done earlier this week.

The first depth chart of the 2025 season came out this week for the New Orleans Saints, and the word “or” showed up quite a bit, especially at the quarterback position. Will we find out more from watching the first preseason game Sunday vs. the Los Angeles Chargers? Also, the team will be spending 10 days practicing in Irvine, Calif., where it will be (slightly) cooler. Hopefully, that will allow them to get more done and get some of those aforementioned questions answered. Jim Derry tries to beat Coach Kellen Moore to the punch with Wednesday's guest, FOX-8's Garland Gillen, on the Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 399) presented by Evangeline Securities. The duo also will talk a little LSU and Tulane, and Gabe Henderson has thoughts on Shedeur Sanders being named the starter for Cleveland's first preseason game and the NFL making a deal with ESPN. We also preview show No. 400 with Jim Henderson.

It is most likely a minimum of two weeks before we find out who the starting quarterback will be for the New Orleans Saints when they take the field on Sept. 7 against the Arizona Cardinals. But are there subtle signs that it will be Tyler Shough and not Spencer Rattler? That's what host Jim Derry presents to the Dat Family on another Mano E Monday edition of the Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 398) presented by Evangeline Securities. When should Coach Kellen Moore announce the decision? Should the team have plenty of time to prepare when they find out? Also, with Nick Saldiveri being out for the season, how much does that hurt the depth of the Saints' O-Line? Gabe Henderson is here to offer his thoughts on the Shough / Rattler debate (which is a bit different than Jim's view), and he also shares his opinion on the initial college football coaches' poll, which was released Monday morning.

Do you remember the first time you stepped inside the Superdome? For some fans, that was quite a long time ago. Since then, some of the greatest events in sports have taken place there: football and basketball championships, boxing titles, big-time concerts, Mardi Gras extravaganzas, etc. In other words, there's plenty for Jim Derry and Times-Picayune and Advocate Saints editor Zach Ewing to talk about on Friday's Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 394) presented by Evangeline Securities. This comes ahead of Sunday's release of a special section celebrating 50 years of the Dome. Jim and Zach also have plenty to say on the media and fans already writing off quarterback Tyler Shough after just 10 days of practice and how some are saying Shedeur Sanders should have been drafted instead. Also, Gabe Henderson is here to share his thoughts on the Saints QB situation and the MLB trade deadline.

What's it like to cover high school sports and writing stories about thousands of games and state championships over the course of a 45-year career? Well, there's only one person who can answer that, and the GOAT of prep writers – Robin Fambrough – is here. The Hall of Famer joins host Jim Derry on Wednesday's Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 396) presented by Evangeline Securities to talk about her career that brought her from Kentucky to Louisiana. She also goes through some of the top moments from her 34 years at The Advocate. Jim also talks about the Saints first day in pads at training camp and an injury to tight end Juwan Johnson. Gabe Henderson is here to talk about the 2026 class of Pro Football Hall of Fame candidates, including Drew Brees.

So this is how the 2025 season starts for the New Orleans #Saints? On Tuesday, safety Tyrann Mathieu, who also played at LSU and St. Augustine High School, retired from football. The team quickly turned around and are close to signing veteran Julian Blackmon to replace him. Is that enough? What else can happen? New Orleans radio icon Eric Asher is here with host Jim Derry to offer his input on Wednesday's Dattitude (Ep. 393) Podcast presented by Evangeline Securities.

With just 4 days remaining until the start of Saints camp, it's time for the expert to join our show to answer some of the big questions: Can the offensive line actually be one of the team's strengths? Who will step up behind Alvin Kamara at RB? Is Rashid Shaheed ready for the next step? What about Bryan Bresee on defense? WWL Radio football analyst Mike Detillier joins host Jim Derry to discuss all these topics and more on Friday's Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 391) presented by Evangeline Securities. Mike also will offer a prediction for the NFC South and what he thinks about the odds to win the SEC. Also, he discusses the importance of LSU's opener against Clemson on Aug. 30. Gabe Henderson is back, and he talks UFC in New Orleans and his best value plays in college football.

Mike and Charlie discussed the latest news regarding LSU baseball's recruiting. The guys interviewed Jim Derry, the host of the "Dattitude" podcast, Robert "The Real Deal" Trujillo, a lightweight power slap champion, and Kendall Rogers, the co-owner of D1Baseball.com. Mike, Charlie, and Jeff played their daily "Triple Option" segment. Jeff and Charlie previewed the 2025 MLB All-Star Game, featuring Pittsburgh's Paul Skenes and Detroit's Tarik Skubal. Chris Knoche, the color analyst for Maryland basketball, shared what Pelican fans can expect from rookie big man Derik Queen. Jeff and Charlie also spoke to Mike Hoss, the voice of the Saints, about New Orleans' upcoming training camp.

Jim Derry, the host of the "Dattitude" podcast, joined Sports Talk. Derry recapped Brian Kelly's comments from the SEC's Media Days. He shared his thoughts on Garrett Nussmeier, Harold Perkins, and Blake Baker.

The guys also broke down Sauce Gardner's record-breaking contract extension with the New York Jets.

While the current state of the New Orleans Saints quarterback room is up for debate, what isn't is the standing of the franchise if one were to put together a list that encapsulates this entire century to date. It's not if the Fleur de Lis are in the top 10, but where? And are they top 5 with Drew Brees, Aaron Brooks and Derek Carr? Jim Derry and Gabe Henderson have some fun with their first “Dat List” on Friday's Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 383) presented by Evangeline Securities. Interestingly, their lists are very similar except in a few spots. They go into detail on their top 12 and have fun interacting with the live audience. Also, we ask a nearly impossible question: “How could a baseball team possibly go 59-0 through an entire season?” Luckily, there is someone who can answer that question, and it's LSU-Shreveport coach Brad Neffendorf, who just guided the Pilots to a perfect season and a NAIA World Series. He shares his thoughts and experiences from the past few months and some vignettes.

Mike and Charlie recapped LSU baseball's come-from-behind 10-6 victory over Little Rock in game seven of the Baton Rouge regional, highlighting pitcher Casan Evans, designated hitter Ethan Frey, and catcher Luis Hernandez. The guys interviewed Buddy Songy, an analyst for TigerBait.com, and Jim Derry, the host of the "Datitude" podcast for NOLA.com. Mike and Charlie criticized the Knicks' decision to fire head coach Tom Thibodeau after leading New York to the Eastern Conference Finals. Mike also remembered former NFL legend Jim Marshall. Jeff Duncan, a columnist for The Times-Picayune, joined Sports Talk to discuss LSU baseball's victory over Little Rock and the Saints' offseason question marks. Mike, Charlie, and Steve played their daily "Triple Option" segment. Steve and Charlie heard from Evans, Frey, Hernandez, and LSU head coach Jay Johnson after the Tigers' victory over the Trojans. Jerit Roser, an LSU reporter for On3's The Bengal Tiger, joined Sports Talk to recap the big win and preview the Tigers' Super Regional matchup against West Virginia. Oleh Kosel, an NBA reporter covering the Pelicans, discussed the Pelicans' commitment to head coach Willie Green. Steve and Charlie slammed the pathetic Pittsburgh Pirates and spoke to a WWL listener about the Pelicans.

So it didn't quite go as smoothly as fans of the LSU Tigers baseball team would have hoped in the Regionals, but it worked out in the end and the team is two wins away from Omaha and the College World Series. How will they fare in the Super Regionals against West Virginia, and what are the keys to victory? LSU beat writer for The Times-Picayune and The Advocate, Koki Riley, joins host Jim Derry on Wednesday's Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 382) presented by Evangeline Securities, as they also rehash Monday's victory over Little Rock. Jim also talks to Loyola second baseman Brandon Mooney, who might have been the best college baseball player no one heard of this season. Oh, and the Wolf Pack's – and his – underdog story is well worth the listen. In Jim's unofficial ‘Last Word,' he celebrates a very special 40th anniversary for Saints fans.

Jim Derry, the host of the "Datitude" podcast for NOLA.com, joined Sports Talk. Derry evaluated the Saints' new-look offensive line after drafting LT Kelvin Banks Jr. ninth overall in the 2025 NFL Draft. Derry also shared his thoughts on rookie QB Tyler Shough, DT Bryan Bresee, and RB Devin Neal.

The guys interviewed Buddy Songy, an analyst for TigerBait.com, and Jim Derry, the host of the "Datitude" podcast for NOLA.com.

It's tough to put into words just how unlikely LSU's loss to Little Rock was on Sunday night, but let's just say if it were to happen again Monday, it would be historic. Can Coach Jay Johnson and the Tigers turn up the focus and get rolling quickly, and is Sunday (June 1) a microcosm of other problems for this team or simply an anomaly? We get into it on Monday's Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 381) presented by Evangeline Securities, as host Jim Derry chats with Times-Picayune and Advocate sports columnist Scott Rabalais. If LSU wins this one, what do they need to do to get past West Virginia in the Super Regionals and back to Omaha? Lastly, Gabe Henderson has a strong opinion on the silliness of the way they choose home teams in regionals, and Jim shares his thoughts on LSU-Shreveport winning the NAIA World Series with a perfect 59-0 record. He also finishes the show with a segment on the Saints and how Coach Kellen Moore can win over the QB room.

It didn't seem to take long for Coach Kellen Moore to make common sense of his offensive line situation: Move Taliese Fuaga to right tackle and Trevor Penning to left guard, and then let the ninth-overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Kelvin Banks, play his native left tackle. Is that a permanent solution? It's one Jim Derry has been advocating since Banks was picked a month ago. It's also the lead topic on Friday's Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 380) presented by Evangeline Securities. Also, Jim shares the news about LSU-Shreveport making college baseball history at 58-0 and how they can finish it off, along with big brother LSU opening the Baton Rouge Regional on Friday afternoon. Lastly, Gabe Henderson is here, and The “Last Word” offers a belated Happy 90th Birthday to former Coach Jim Mora.

So, Aaron Rodgers says he wouldn't consider playing for the Saints. Interesting, because to our knowledge no one here wants him – neither the team nor the fans. The biggest question on this hypothetical is: Can you imagine the circus that has-been would bring here? Let's have a little fun with it on Wednesday's Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 379) presented by Evangeline Securities, as host Jim Derry brings in local radio icon Eric Asher for a chat, as the duo also discusses the state of the QB race between Tyler Shough and Spencer Rattler. And what's the ceiling for wins in 2025? Lastly, Gabe Henderson and Jim have their own rankings for where this QB room ranks in the NFL, and then get into an interesting debate on just how good Bears QB Caleb Williams was in his rookie season and how much better he'll be – or won't be – under new Coach Ben Johnson.

It's still 2 months away from the start of NFL training camps, but many of the "experts" in sports media have already labeled 2025 a disaster in the making for the New Orleans Saints. (Jim Derry is one of them.) Are the predictions premature, or is it common sense with a QB room of Tyler Shough, Spencer Rattler and Jake Haener? That's the theme of another Mano E Monday edition of Dattitude of the Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 376) presented by Evangeline Securities. Gabe Henderson also is here to weigh in, and we also discuss whether LSU-Clemson is a must-win for the Brian Kelly, Garrett Nussmeier and the Tigers in the opening weekend of college football play. In “The Last Word,” Jim goes back in time … like way back … to the time of DeLoreans and Doc Brown, as something big happened 40 years ago on this date.

The NFL released their 2025 schedule on Wednesday, and we found out when and where the new era of the New Orleans Saints will begin. The answer is Coach Kellen Moore will first take the field at the Caesars Superdome on Sept. 7 against Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals, and in fact, the team will play the first half of its home schedule by the time Week 6 is done. Just how tough is it? Well, the Saints will play their first three games against the NFC West, including a trip to Seattle in Week 3, before heading to the other side of the country the following week to play Super Bowl contender, Buffalo. The Saints won't face a division foe until Week 8, and the middle of the schedule is tough. How will they navigate through, and are we ready for (way too early) predictions? Times-Picayune and Advocate sports columnist Rod Walker is with host Jim Derry on a special Thursday edition of Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 375) presented by Evangeline Securities. Jim's “Last Word” offers where expectations on Tyler Shough should be by pointing out quarterbacks not drafted in the first round since 2014.

The official release of the 2025 NFL schedule doesn't come until Wednesday evening, but as always, there are plenty of leaks and rumors to talk about for the New Orleans Saints? We ask: Is it better for a rookie head coach in Kellen Moore and rookie quarterback in Tyler Shough to play the easiest parts first, or does it matter? That's what we get into first on Wednesday's Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 374) presented by Evangeline Securities, as host Jim Derry asks for thoughts from the Dat Family. Jim also says brings in local podcast host David Grubb for his expertise on the Pelicans picking seventh in the NBA Draft and whether there's a possibility of moving up. Will GM Joe Dumars make some other moves, and what's the outlook for Coach Willie Green? Gabe Henderson also has thoughts on the NBA Lottery, and in Jim's ‘Last Word,' he chastises Major League Baseball for waiting until the death of Pete Rose to let him back into the game.

I was wrrrr. Wrrrr. I was wrrr. Wrrrrrong. There. I said it. As soon as the news was out Saturday morning that Derek Carr had retired from football, Jim Derry went into the back of the pantry and took out the blow torch to thaw out his crow for a po-boy and a party with his Dat Family. What other way should we start the weekend other than with a special weekend edition of the Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 372) presented by Evangeline Securities? The host says “common sense” never left, and of all the scenarios, no one really saw retirement coming. Meanwhile, commenters had a wide range of things to say – from well wishes to those who are ecstatic Carr is gone. We also ask the question: “Who starts now? Tyler Shough? Spencer Rattler? An unnamed veteran?”

With the Dallas Cowboys trading for wide receiver George Pickens late Tuesday night, it got us thinking: How many options out there do the New Orleans Saints have if they want to bring in a veteran wide receiver? Keenan Allen? Amari Cooper? The newly released Gabe Davis? That's our lead topic on Wednesday's Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 371) presented by Evangeline Securities, as host Jim Derry asks for thoughts from the Dat Family, and they have plenty of them. Jim also says the spotlight on this weekend's rookie camp won't just be on quarterback Tyler Shough, but where Coach Kellen Moore and his staff will start off with first-round pick Kelvin Banks. Oh, and we look forward to seeing linebacker Danny Stutsman and a couple others. To finish it off, Man vs. Machine has a pick in one of Wednesday's NBA playoff games, and in the ‘Last Word,' we talk about the best college baseball team in Louisiana – yep, LSU. Nope, not that LSU. Rather, the LSU that's 51-0. (Head north, young man.)

There isn't a single fan of the New Orleans Saints who doesn't have an opinion on the Derek Carr saga. Will we ever find out the truth? Does it matter? Will he playin 2025, and if not, who takes his place: second-round draft pick Tyler Shough or last year's backup Spencer Rattler? How about a spirited debate on the subject? Well, that's what we get on Wednesday's Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 368) presented by Evangeline Securities, as host Jim Derry and ESPN Radio host Matt Moscona share their differing opinions, as do the involved Dat Family. The duo also talks about whether LSU actually has the No. 1 portal class, as Sports Illustrated has suggested. Also, Gabe Henderson has something to say about Taysom Hill, and has his daily best bet in ‘Man vs. Machine.' In his ‘Last Word,' Jim looks back 10 years to NOLA.com's first-ever live draft show when the Saints took Andrus Peat and Stephone Anthony in the first round. (Stephone Who?)

The 2025 NFL Draft is in the books, and things started wonderfully for the New Orleans Saints with the selection of Texas offensive lineman Kelvin Banks. But then … on Friday with the 40th pick, the team reached to draft Tyler Shough of Louisville as the third quarterback chosen. The big question is not necessarily about Shough, as it is “Did this team know about Derek Carr's problems all along and still restructure his contract – and mortgage the immediate future? Whatever the truth may be, host Jim Derry has his take in ‘Derry's Dime,' and a plethora of commenters follow suit on a Mano E Monday edition of Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 367) presented by Evangeline Securities. Also, Gabe Henderson shares his thoughts on the talk of the weekend, and that's Shedeur Sanders falling to the fifth round. Gabe also tries to stay hot with his pick of the day in 'Man vs. Machine,' Lastly, on ‘The Last Word,' Jim begs the PGA to change the date of the Zurich Classic, or the people New Orleans will keep on not giving a rat's patoot.

Finally. We have finally made it to NFL Draft Day 2025. Of course we have a plethora of questions. Is it a sure thing for the Titans and Cam Ward at No. 1? Will the Jaguars and Bears make some sort of move before the thing starts? Who will the Saints go with at No. 9? Jim Derry has the Dat Crew together, as he, Gabe Henderson and Zach Ewing do their own mock draft and then explain each pick on a special Thursday episode of the Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 366) presented by Evangeline Securities. They also preview Thursday night's live draft show, where all of our Saints Insiders will be with us from team headquarters to update what's going on.

At least one major NFL “expert” has backed off of the possibility of Shedeur Sanders being picked at No. 9 in the first round of Thursday's NFL Draft. So what does that mean? A defensive lineman like Jalon Walker? An offensive tackle like Armand Membou or LSU's Will Campbell? What about tight end Tyler Warren? WWL Radio NFL and Draft analyst Mike Detillier shares his expertise with host Jim Derry on Monday's Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 364) presented by Evangeline Securities, and Jim asks Mike for his thoughts on the continuing Derek Carr saga. Also, it's a modified ‘Mano E Monday,' so the Dattitude Family has plenty to say – especially on Carr. Gabe Henderson is back to see if he can stay hot in ‘Man vs. Machine,' and Jim's ‘Last Word' is on the poor wittle New York Yankees having “no good deed going unpunished.”

On Friday afternoon, one of the world's leading NFL reporters, Ian Rapoport, made a shocking announcement that Saints quarterback Derek Carr has a shoulder injury that could require surgery, a story that was later confirmed by The Times-Picayune's Matthew Paras and Jeff Duncan. And if said surgery was needed, it could end Carr's season before it even begins. That's a whole lotta couldas and wouldas and maybes. What's true? What makes sense? What does the average Who Dat think? That's how host Jim Derry spent most of his show on a Mano E Monday edition of Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 362) presented by Evangeline Securities. And there were plenty of opinions from the peanut gallery. Gabe Henderson also shared his thoughts on the subject, and made his pick in another 'Man vs. Machine' segment, as Man tries desperately to improve its winning percentage. On ‘The Last Word,' Jim pays tribute to former LSU wide receiver Kyren Lacy, who died Saturday night.

If there are 860 mock drafts out there, one might be able to find 100 different names being linked to the New Orleans Saints for the upcoming NFL Draft. OK, well maybe 100 is a bit of an exaggeration, but there are a whole bunch. Should we believe any of them? Jim Derry will spend plenty of time on the subject on another Mano E Monday edition of Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 359) presented by Evangeline Securities. Yep, that means the live show will be centered around the comments from viewers and listeners. Oh, and of course Gabe Henderson will have his pick for the NCAA men's national championship game in the 'Man vs. Machine' segment, and Jim thinks Kelvin Sampson's coaching performance Saturday vs. Duke was an all-timer.

Newsflash: We have changed the percentage of the Saints drafting a quarterback in the first round from 0.0 to, well, higher than zero. What's the new percentage the team would ponder making a move if Cam Ward, Shedeur Sanders or Jaxson Dart were available? That's the lead for Jim Derry this Friday morning on the Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 358) presented by Evangeline Securities, as he asks the viewers and listeners what they think. (And, as usual, they have plenty of opinions.) What about the dominating performance by LSU and Kade Anderson on Thursday night in Norman, Okla., as the Tigers blanked the Sooners, 2-0? Jim and Gabe Henderson talk about whether that can continue this weekend, and they preview the Men's Final Four. What will Gabe do in our revamped ‘Man vs. Machine' best bet of the day segment?

In the search for help on offense, the New Orleans Saints have turned to a familiar face, as late last week they brought back wide receiver and former first-round pick Brandin Cooks. Is he worth a 2-year, $13 million contract? Jim Derry asks the viewers and listeners on the Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 353) presented by Evangeline Securities and takes comments throughout the show on 'Mano E Monday.' Gabe Henderson and I also will chat about the LSU women facing Florida State on Monday evening in the PMAC as they try to get to the Sweet 16 for the third straight season. (Both teams are in the top 6 in scoring.) Lastly, we talk NCAA Men's Tourney (so far a snoozefest). and our new segment is live: 'AI vs. Gabe.'

We are 5 weeks away from the 2025 NFL Draft, and we're trying to figure out what direction the New Orleans Saints might go. Do they need an offensive lineman to shift things around and find a starting left guard, or have they already made enough moves in free agency to fill the holes? Will Clapp? Landon Young? Nick Saldiveri? That's just one of the topics for host Jim Derry and his guest, Times-Picayune and The Advocate sports columnist Rod Walker on Friday's Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 352) presented by Evangeline Securities. We also discuss whether the Pelicans should move on from Coach Willie Green in the offseason and whether Zion Williamson can get back to form in which he plays 70 or so games per season. Lastly, with the NCAA Tournament in full swing, Jim asks Rod if Will Wade is leaving McNeese a special moment before he departs for North Carolina State, and how long of a run the LSU women can have. And we finish the show with a new segment in which we ask A.I. for its sports bet of the day. (We probably shouldn't ask it to do this live …)

The guys answered questions from WWL listeners about Kenny Pickett and the NBA lottery. Jim Derry, a writer and columnist for The Advocate, joined Mike and Charlie to preview the 2025 NFL Draft. Derry explained that the Saints should focus on the trenches early in the draft and address running back and wide receiver in the middle rounds. Derry said the Saints should trade back in the first round of the draft. Mike, Jeff, and Charlie played their daily "Triple Option" segment.

Derry said the Saints should trade back in the first round of the draft.

Just about every NFL fan on the planet knows the New Orleans Saints are in cap hell and football purgatory. While there is no easy way out, the No. 1 question for this team is clear: Do you stick with Derek Carr at quarterback, or do you “tank,” cut Carr and eat his salary and most likely go with either Spencer Rattler or a cheap free agent? Currently, only new Kellen Moore and General Manager Mickey Loomis likely know the answer to that, but that doesn't mean host Jim Derry and The Athletic's Larry Holder can't offer their best guesses about it on Wednesday's Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 347) presented by Evangeline Securities. After Jim and Larry discuss the pressing question, Jim asks viewers and listeners for their thoughts and gets into a spirited debate with Gabe Henderson on the overall future of the Saints and whether they can win in the near future. Oh, and whether they should even think about winning.

Has there been any more controversial player among Saints fans than quarterback Derek Carr? So many want to move on from him, while others think he is the only chance this team has to win in the near term. Is winning even important in 2025? A bigger and better question is how does new coach Kellen Moore feel, and what are the options for Carr at this point? For answers, host Jim Derry turns to The Times-Picayune and The Advocate beat writer Luke Johnson on Monday's Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 346) presented by Evangeline Securities. Jim also answer queries and comments from those who watched the show live on what normally is “Mano E Monday.” To finish off the show, Gabe Henderson is back from vacation and is ready to chime in on the whole Carr / Spencer Rattler / find a free agent debate, while members of the “Dattitude family” tell us why they think – or don't think – Rattler has the tools to be a legitimate NFL quarterback.

With so many places we could have started the show, we chose the one that has to do with both Super Bowl LIX and the New Orleans Saints: Kellen Moore's offense that starred quarterback Jalen Hurts. (Not that the Philadelphia Eagles' defense was shabby in knocking down Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.) So when will the Saints make it official and bring in Moore as their 19th head coach? Who will be his coordinators, and what's the answer at quarterback? Will Moore be OK with Derek Carr in the near future? All things host Jim Derry gets into it early and asks viewers and listeners their opinions on Monday's Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 344) presented by Evangeline Securities. Also, Jim and Gabe Henderson get into an interesting discussion with their opinions on the Super Bowl halftime show and Kendrick Lamar, and Jim also shares his thoughts on how the city of New Orleans did in shaping an adult Disney World.

On today's show, Mike Detillier and the Cajun Cannon, Bobby Hebert, from the Silver Slipper on Big Game Saturday, give us a preview of the game tomorrow with Jim Derry, of the Times-Picayune and host of the Dattitude podcast, Jo Madden, host and sports betting analyst for Sports Grid and Jo Madden Sports on YouTube, and Sal Paolantonio, ESPN National Correspondent and author of Philly Special: The Inside Story of How the Philadelphia Eagles Won their First Super Bowl Title.

Mike Detillier connects with Jim Derry, from the Times-Picayune and host of the Dattitude podcast, to discuss the Super Bowl preview week as Radio Row at the Convention Center kept everybody busy, before discussing the Chiefs planting a KC flag in the NFL history books as a premier dynasty, possibly even the BEST dynasty if they are able to complete the 3-peat tomorrow, but Saquon Barkley and the Eagles stand firmly in their path.
