All we've heard is that Nick Saban doesn't want to return to coaching. We get it. But when a major betting site now has him as the favorite to come back to LSU, one has to pay attention, right?
Jim Derry asks NOLA.com's Zach Ewing for his thoughts on Friday's Dattitude (Ep. 439) presented by Evangeline Securities, and The Pick Em Crew is here for our Week 11 Best Bets.
If nothing else, Tyler Shough brought hope to New Orleans Saints fans in a 17-7 win at the Carolina #Panthers on Sunday. Garrett Nussmeier and the LSU Tigers at Alabama on Saturday? Not so much.
Jim Derry has plenty to say in his Dime, and he once again hears from the Dat Family on another Mano E Monday edition of Dattitude (Ep. 438) presented by Evangeline Securities.
Tyler Shough gets his second start for the New Orleans #Saints, and it's against NFC South foe Carolina #Panthers. Meanwhile, Garrett Nussmeier has his first start in the post-Brian Kelly era, and it's vs. Alabama.
Will either team turn it around and come up with an upset?
Jim Derry talks to NOLA.com's Zach Ewing on Friday's Dattitude (Ep. 437) presented by Evangeline Securities, and The Pick Em Crew is here for our Week 10 Best Bets.
We knew the New Orleans #Saints would make a move or two at the #NFL trade deadline, but was the return enough for Rashid Shaheed and Trevor Penning? And can #LSU upset Alabama?
Jim Derry and veteran sports writer Kevin Spain talk about it on Wednesday's Dattitude (Ep. 436) presented by Evangeline Securities.
The Tyler Shough era began with a whimper Sunday, as the New Orleans #Saints were pounded Sunday by the Los Angeles Rams. Now what?
Jim Derry will go through it - along with a major announcement about the future of the show - on another Mano E Monday edition of Dattitude (Ep. 435) presented by Evangeline Securities.
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.
The worst weekend of football in recent memory for south Louisiana fans was wrapping up in the Superdome on Sunday when official word came down that LSU coach Brian Kelly had been fired. Immediately, questions like “What now?” and “Who’s next?” became prevalent in people’s minds.
To answer these pressing questions, host Jim Derry looked to friends of the show and big-time experts, as WWL Radio football analyst Mike Detillier and our own Advocate sports columnist Scott Rabalais joined Monday’s Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 433) presented by Evangeline Securities.
Jim also takes on whether Tyler Shough should take the Saints QB job on permanently after he replaced Spencer Rattler in Sunday’s 23-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Meanwhile, Gabe Henderson has opinions on the LSU situation, and we have a best bet for Monday Night Football that pits the Washington Commanders against the Kansas City Chiefs.
The New Orleans #Saints host their first NFC South opponent of the season in the Tampa Bay #Buccaneers, while #LSU is home vs. Texas A&M in a pivotal SEC matchup.
Is what we see Sunday and Saturday going to be what it will look like for the rest of the season? Times-Picayune, The Advocate and NOLA.com assistant sports editor Zach Ewing and host Jim Derry have the answers on Friday's Dattitude (Ep. 432) presented by Evangeline Securities.
Also, 'The Crew' is here for Pick 'Em Friday for #NFL Week 8 and #CFB Week 9.
In March 2024, WWL Radio football analyst Mike Detillier said the New Orleans Saints were in “football purgatory,” which meant to say they weren’t good enough to be a Super Bowl contender and not bad enough for a complete teardown. What about now?
Mike joins Jim Derry on Wednesday’s Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 431) presented by Evangeline Securities to share his thoughts, and he also talks LSU in the same boat. Of course, we have the big question: Just how hot is fire under Coach Brian Kelly as the Tigers get to the two-thirds pole this week vs. Texas A&M.
Will Saints coach Kellen Moore make the change sooner rather than later from quarterback Spencer Rattler to Tyler Shough? Will Devin Neal have a much larger role now that Kendre Miller is out for the season, and Alvin Kamara has goine through a rough patch? Jim talks for a few moments on the New Orleans Pelicans season opener, and Gabe Henderson finishes off the show with for Thursday Night Football picks as the Minnesota Vikings travel to face the Los Angeles Chargers.
Throughout the first six games, despite a 1-5 start, many Saints fans found reasons to blame anyone BUT Spencer Rattler? That was not the case following Sunday’s 26-14 loss at the Chicago Bears, where the second-year pro turned the ball over four times (should have been five) and fell to 1-12 in his career as a starter.
Is it time to make a change to the 40th pick of the 2025 NFL Draft, Tyler Shough, who has remained on the bench? In “Derry’s Dime,” host Jim Derry compares this season’s team to the one of 1999, where the quarterback situation is eerily familiar. (Remember the Billy Joes?) Meanwhile, fans had plenty to say on the Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 430) presented by Evangeline Securities.
That’s not the only change that could be made around here in the near future. With LSU’s loss to Vanderbilt on Saturday, the heat is as high as it has ever been on Coach Brian Kelly. Would the Tigers actually make a change despite that huge buyout? Gabe Henderson has opinions to share, and we have two best bets for the Monday Night Football doubleheader.
There’s no question the New Orleans Saints have a little added oomph behind their sails this week as they travel to Chicago to play the Bears and former coach Dennis Allen. Meanwhile, there are some distractions, as the rumor mill swirls around Alvin Kamara and Chris Olave and whether they will be traded.
Any of those rumors true? NOLA.com Saints editor and Times-Picayune / Advocate assistant sports editor Zach Ewing joins host Jim Derry for his weekly visit to talk about it on another “Fun Friday” edition of the Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 429) presented by Evangeline Securities. They also will talk about whether one should listen to the chatter around the LSU Tigers being an underdog at Vanderbilt.
Zach and Jim will make their predictions for the Saints, LSU and Tulane, and they will hear from fans, who also make their 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 7 and CFB Week 8, and our meteorologist Damon Singleton has the Dat Weather forecast for where our teams are playing this weekend.
For the first time in 77 years, the LSU Tigers are underdogs to the Vanderbilt Commodores. In fact, Vandy hasn’t been favored over a ranked opponent – ANY ranked opponent – since 1978. Is this week’s line justified? Why do linesmakers see it this way?
Times-Picayune and The Advocate LSU beat writer Koki Riley joins Jim Derry on Wednesday’s Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 428) presented by Evangeline Securities to offer his opinion, and he also talks about Garrett Nussmeier vs. Diego Pavia, the improvement of the Tigers’ offensive line … and, of course, Coach Brian Kelly.
Jim gets into a debate with viewers and listeners on what the New Orleans Saints future should be at quarterback, while Gabe Henderson is here to press Jim’s buttons. Oh, and they also share their best bets for Thursday Night Football between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals.
Social media was ablaze Sunday evening and into Monday morning with lots of blame focused on individual players. But is wide receiver Chris Olave a big problem? What about Spencer Rattler? On defense, Kool-Aid McKinstry and Chase Young?
Instead, in “Derry’s Dime,” host Jim Derry says the problem is a whole lot of everybody. Of course, though, it’s “Mano E Monday,” so Jim gets the first-hand opinions from fans on the Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 427) presented by Evangeline Securities.
We'll also hear what Coach Kellen Moore had to say, and share early thoughts about a matchup at Chicago next week. Gabe Henderson is here to talk about LSU’s victory over South Carolina, being an underdog to Vanderbilt (yes, they really are underdogs to Vanderbilt) and Tulane’s upcoming schedule. Jim and Gabe also have a couple parlays for the two Monday Night Football games.
This could be the stiffest 1-2 punch our local teams face this season, as the New Orleans #Saints will face Drake Maye and the New England #Patriots on Sunday, while LSU gets LaNorris Sellers and the South Carolina Gamecocks on Saturday.
The Advocate assistant sports editor Zach Ewing and host Jim Derry will tell us what to expect on Friday's Dattitude (Ep. 426) presented by Evangeline Securities. Also, Gabe Henderson and Uncle Big Nick are here for Pick 'Em Friday for #NFL Week 6 and #CFB Week 7.
We can’t call it a hot streak just yet for the New Orleans Saints, but there’s no question they have a decent chance to make it two consecutive wins at home Sunday vs. the New England Patriots. To do it, they’ll have to be better in the red zone, where they currently are fourth worst in the NFL.
Will they begin to fix their problem? New Orleans radio host Eric Asher joins Jim Derry on Wednesday’s Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 425) presented by Evangeline Securities to talk about that, and the interesting matchup between Spencer Rattler and Patriots quarterback Drake Maye.
Also, can LSU come off their bye week looking refreshed and ready to go Saturday vs. Lanoris Sellers and South Carolina? What about Tulane on Thursday night vs. East Carolina. Lastly, Jim and Gabe Henderson share their best bets for Thursday Night Football between the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants.
For the first time in nearly 10 months, the New Orleans Saints won a football game. And while it doesn’t change a lot in the grand scheme of things, it marks a reason to celebrate. One thing is for certain: This team won’t get shutout in 2025.
Host Jim Derry says in his “Dime” the end of this eight-game losing streak is similar to the end of a 14-game skid from 45 years ago. So how do Saints fans feel? As usual, they’re very vocal on another “Mano E Monday” edition of the Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 424) presented by Evangeline Securities.
We'll also share the locker room celebration from Coach Kellen Moore and give a tip of the cap to quarterback Spencer Rattler, both of whom gained their first NFL victories. Gabe Henderson is here for overall thoughts on Week 5 in the league and his pick for Monday Night Football, and the duo touches on LSU and Tulane returning from their bye weeks.
For the first time since they won their last game nearly 10 months ago, the New Orleans Saints are favored. Interestingly, it comes against the same team they gained that aforementioned victory – the New York Giants. Who will be better: Spencer Rattler or Jaxson Dart? What are the keys to the game?
NOLA.com Saints editor and Times-Picayune / Advocate assistant sports editor Zach Ewing joins host Jim Derry for a preview of the Week 5 game on another “Fun Friday” edition of the Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 423) presented by Evangeline Securities.

Over the course of a 25-hour period from Monday to Tuesday, the New Orleans Saints went from a 2½-point underdog to a 2½-point favorite. What made the line swing so drastically? Is it justified? Who has the advantage: Spencer Rattler or Jaxson Dart, and how many more chances will Rattler get?
WWL-TV sports director Doug Mouton joins Jim Derry on Wednesday’s Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 422) presented by Evangeline Securities, as they talk about how important this Sunday’s game is for the Saints. Doug and Jim also chat about the improvement the Saints had from Week 3 and Week 4.
Also, is LSU coach Brian Kelly’s job on the line right now, and is Tulane in must-win territory the rest of the way if they want to make the College Football Playoffs. Jim shares his best bet for Thursday Night Football between the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams.
“Well, the Saints sure played better this week.” Whooppee. Is that what we’re getting excited about now? A two-touchdown loss because the week before was a blowout? It serves as more proof of how far this team has to go, as they lost their eighth straight game for the first time in 45 years Sunday – this time to the Buffalo Bills.
Host Jim Derry says in his “Dime” there are no such thing as moral victories, and that major changes need to be made soon so the Saints can find out what direction they need to go in with a top-five pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Also, Saints fans will share their thoughts on another “Mano E Monday” edition of the Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 421) presented by Evangeline Securities.
We'll also talk about the disappointing performance LSU put on in Oxford, Miss., last weekend against Ole Miss, and Gabe Henderson has a hot take that probably flies a bit past where Coach Brian Kelly is willing to go. Is it time for quarterback Garrett Nussmeier to be benched? We also have thoughts on Tulane’s American Conference-opening win at Tulsa and picks for Monday Night Football.
