Saints GM Mickey Loomis talks candidly with Jeff Duncan and Jim Derry on Ep. 79

Saints Hall of Fame Coach Jim Mora talks about his road to New Orleans, his days leading the Black and Gold, Sam Mills going into the Pro Football Hall of Fame last week, the toughness of Rickey Jackson, and how this current defense stacks up against his Dome Patrol.

Jim Mora talks about his days as Saints coach, Sam Mills, Dome Patrol, Ep. 83

There’s no question the Atlanta Falcons have a major upgrade at quarterback with the addition in free agency of Kirk Cousins. And with Bijan Robinson’s rookie season in his rearview mirror, does that make this team the favorite over the New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC South with new coach Raheem Morris?

Jim Derry gets into that on Wednesday's Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 227) brought to you by Evangeline Securities with Bet.NOLA.com’s Gabe Henderson, and Jim also talks in his monologue about the possibility of the New Orleans Pelicans having to face the Sacramento Kings in the do-or-die Play-In game Friday without Zion Williamson, who was hurt in Tuesday’s loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Spencer the Guru is here with the weekly Fantasy Roundup to talk about waiver-wire pitchers and hitters in MLB and the top potential running backs in this upcoming NFL Draft. Jim wraps up the show with the 'Extra Point,' looking back a quarter-century to when Mike Ditka and the Saints traded their entire allotment of picks in the 1999 draft – and a first and third in 2000 – to move up eight spots and draft Heisman Trophy winning running back Ricky Williams.

Dattitude premiered in September 2021 to focus on what's important to sports fans in south Louisiana. While we focus on the Saints, we also talk plenty about the Pelicans, LSU, Tulane, Prep, sports betting, fantasy sports and all the big-time sports events happening in and around New Orleans. Host Jim Derry brings more than 33 years of experience covering sports in the region, and he'll "always tell you the way it is ... or at least the way he THINKS it is."
