Between the years of 1985 thru 1996, the New Orleans Saints had risen from the cellar of the NFL to become a perennial playoff team. Though they never won a playoff game during that time, the Saints, behind quarterback Bobby Hebert and a legendary linebacking corps known as the Dome Patrol, became one of the NFL's elite teams. Behind it all was the quotable head coach with ties to the USFL, Jim Mora. In this episode of the podcast, hosts Dana Auguster and Charles Combs will talk about the key players and moments from that time in Saints history along with there own personal memories of that team, both growing up in Louisiana at the time. Later in the show we will send a shout out to the Who Dat Chant. a chant, which actually became famous in the 1960s thanks to high school and colleges in the area but actually predates the NFL itself and we will settle....sort of ...the debate which have raged on for decades. Which came first the Who Dat chant in New Orleans or the Who Dey chant in Cincinnati? To contact the show you could send an e-mail to Historically.Speaking.Sports@gmail.com.

John Schneider is extended and another 3rd baseman not named Eugenio Suarez is off the board. Mike Morris, Seahawks DE sits down with Ian to preview the season and discuss the defensive personnel this season. He also dives into the veterans in camp right now and how much rivalries matter. Ian compares the last five years of John Schneider and Jerry Dipoto. While they might look the same on paper, there's quite a large difference. Danny O'Neil, The Dang Apostrophe! Danny is LIVE at Seahawks training camp and reacts to John Schneider's contract extension, which he deems warranted. This is also only the second year where Schneider is the main man in charge. Danny maintains they have to find their unquestioned quarterback, and he might be on the roster right now. Ian and Danny discuss the changes we've seen over the years in training camp, especially going back to the Jim Mora era. When looking at Jerry Dipoto's tenure, Danny contends that he's done the best he could with what he's been given - and the consistency shouldn't be overlooked. However, perhaps Jerry should speak as little as John Schneider does. Danny weighs in on the NBA's continued absence in Seattle, why the Sonics left in the first place and why it's taking so long for their return. Corbin Smith, Emerald City Spectrum joins.
