In this special bonus episode of the Mike and Dave Podcast, the guys give their immediate reactions to Kirk Cousins signing with the Falcons, as well as a few other moves the Falcons have made to begin NFL free agency. As always, thanks for listening!

Episode 74.5 - Falcons Sign Kirk Cousins

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.

NFL Play Football - Brian VanGorder from NFL Defensive Coordinator to High School Coach

Taliese Fuaga is the newest member of the New Orleans Saints after the team picked him with the first round of Thursday’s NFL Draft. Was this the right choice, and where does he slot in as a starter? What were his thoughts after being picked, and what did Coach Dennis Allen have to say?

It’s a post-first-day Friday edition of the Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 232) presented by Evangeline Securities, as we also get into the possibilities for the Saints on Day 2 at pick No. 45. Wide receiver? Running back? Another offensive lineman? A cornerback in case Marshon Lattimore is traded away? 

Jim Derry shares his thoughts on the Saints and the laughable decision by the Atlanta Falcons to draft Michael Penix, along with some of the other Day 1 moments. He finishes the show with his ‘Extra Point,’ which looks back 21 years at one of the top busts in team history, as the Saints traded their two first-round picks to move up and grab lazy, out-of-shape Johnathan Sullivan with the sixth pick.

Grading Saints top pick, hear from Taliese Fuaga, Dennis Allen and Day 2 on Ep. 232

It's nearly a week since the Atlanta Falcons drafted Michael Penix with their first-round selection and the eighth overall. That doesn’t make them better now, but the Las Vegas oddsmakers have not budged the odds in the NFC South and still have them as big favorites over the New Orleans Saints, the defending champs, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Carolina Panthers.

Why? Does the draft mean nothing? Does the fact both the Bucs and Saints finished ahead of Atlanta last year mean anything? Does Kirk Cousins mean THAT much? What about the Saints adding Taliese Fuaga and Kool-Aid McKinstry and the Bucs drafting needs, as well?

We ask our friend Terrin Waack, who is a NOLA.com alum and currently serves as beat writer for the Dirty Birds at AtlantaFalcons.com to share her thoughts with host Jim Derry on Wednesday’s Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 234). Also in the ‘Extra Point,’ Jim goes back 33 years to a doubleheader of big-time records in Major League Baseball on one day.

Review of NFC South post draft and are Falcons really the favorite? Terrin Waack joins Ep. 234

Sean Barie, Katie Caldwell and Nick Shook review the NFL Draft in rapid-fire fashion before diving into Atlanta's curious decision to select Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. with the eighth-overall pick. The trio then shifts gears to F1, where massive news comes from Milton Keynes: Adrian Newey is leaving Red Bull. How will this affect the future of F1? And is Valtteri Bottas lining up for a return to Mercedes? Who wins in Miami this weekend? And why aren't Sean, Katie and Nick attending the race? Can Sean be a good cat uncle? Can Katie find a happy place in an NHL playoff matchup? Will Nick ever love anything again?

On today’s show, we’re wrapping up the Conference Semifinals and looking ahead to the round of four, and although ymmv on entertainment value, the sheer volume of games has been fantastic. NBA Playoff basketball has kept hoopheads busy, that’s for sure, with 74 games in 33 nights, and 31 nights straight with at least one game, and Playoff hoops at that. And we still have two rounds to go! Sure it would be great if every game came down to the last possession and every star was Jordenesque every night, but isn’t it enough to watch Ant become an established Playoff superstar, or see Jokic work his magic, or Brunson do the improbable and Luka do the expected while both are hobbled by injuries? And along the way, we saw amazing performances in losing efforts from LeBron, from Shai, from Donovan, from Embiid. The volume of short video highlights you can marvel at on your phone may be light, but there are legit NBA historical storylines playing out right now. Jokic doesn’t get the repeat, that’s the big one right now but there’s plenty more, like, does Tatum get over the hump, will Luka make his first Finals, how far could Brunson carry his team and how far can 22 year old Ant carry his, and what the heck are the Pacers doing here? Fortunately we have another month of hoops to watch it all play out, with up to 14 straight days of games starting tonite! But no matter what, youth will take over, cuz either Tatum, Ant, Haliburton or Luka is winning a title. So sit back, it’s the NBA, all NBA and nothing but the NBA Playoffs and we’re breaking down how it’s all unfolding, next on the Roundup Podcast so let’s get rolling . . .

On today’s show, finally, after what seems like forever, we have an NBA Finals game to look forward to, with the championship series starting tomorrow. After more than a month of at least one NBA game on every single night, two quick Conference Finals series of 4-0 Celtics and 4-1 Mavs left us with the awkward absence of NBA hoops for over a week. But it’s given us time to really marinate on the cutthroat dominance we’ve seen from Luka lately, on Jaylen outshining Jayson to win the series MVP, and how steadily spectacular Kyrie has been, and it let’s us make our predictions with the latest news from Shams on Kristaps Porzingis’ return from injury for Game 1. But what remains to be seen is how good he actually is to go, and how classic a performance Luka might be cooking up, and if Tatum can match him star versus star. Folks, I think we have ourselves a pretty good matchup! So sit back, it’s the NBA, all NBA and nothing but the NBA Playoffs and we’re breaking down how it’s all unfolding, next on the Roundup Podcast so let’s get rolling . . .
