Is there such a thing as a moral victory for Saints? Is it time to bench Nussmeier at LSU? Ep. 421


“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.

Dattitude premiered in September 2021 to cover 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.”
