Jeff Landry - July 8, 2023

Let the record show that Tyler Shough will make his first NFL start –when the New Orleans Saints travel to take on the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. Is there a tougher place to begin the Shough era? What do we expect? Do the Saints have a chance to win?

And what about the comments from Gov. Jeff Landry saying that LSU athletic director Scott Woodward won’t play a role in picking the Tigers’ next coach? Did he go a step too far? NOLA.com Saints editor and Times-Picayune / Advocate assistant sports editor Zach Ewing joins host Jim Derry for his weekly visit, on a special Thursday edition of the Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 434) presented by Evangeline Securities. 

Zach and Jim will make their predictions for the Saints and Tulane, which plays Thursday night at Texas-San Antonio. Also, fans will have their say and have a chance to make picks. To finish it off, Gabe Henderson and Uncle Big Nick are here for another edition of the “Pick Em” contest and their Best Bets for NFL Week 9 and CFB Week 10, and our meteorologist Damon Singleton has the Dat Weather forecast for our teams.

Start of Shough era, Gov. Landry speaks mind on LSU coach search, Best Bets of NFL Week 9 and CFB on Ep. 434

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."
