Dattitude (261): AFC North preview, picks; Saints breaking news
We continue our annual NFL Division Previews and Predictions looking at the AFC North on Friday's Dattitude (Ep. 261). In Part 3 of 8, Jim Derry and The Athletic's Larry Holder will share their thoughts on maybe the toughest division in football to predict. Lamar Jackson back at the top? Joe Burrow going to stay healthy? Deshaun Watson finally ready? And the Steelers? We don't know what their deal is. And we have some Saints breaking news this morning with comings and goings.
What did LSU's cornerbacks look like at the first preaseason practice?
The LSU Tigers began preseason football practice Thursday, and our LSU sports insiders Wilson Alexander and Reed Darcey watched every minute. They shared their initial takeaways in this episode, including observations on the defensive backs, freshmen who stood out and the latest on two players returning from injury.
Dattitude (260): Saints injuries in camp starting to mount
First it was Kendre Miller. Then Marshon Lattimore. Now Chris Olave. While it is still very early in training camp for the New Orleans Saints, the injury bug is seeming to bite this team. On Wednesday's Dattitude (Ep. 260), Jim Derry discusses how big a problem it could be with 'Locked on Saints' podcast host Ross Jackson, as they also talk about some of the bright spots so far.
Dattitude (259): What is Taysom Hill's role in new Saints offense?
Throughout his career with the New Orleans Saints, it has been clear Taysom Hill hasn't cared much about his role on offense (or special teams). And despite the fact much is changing in the offensive scheme under new coordinator Klint Kubiak, Hill has been unwavering. What will his new role be? Will he spend less time behind center? Jim Derry gets into in on Monday's Dattitude (Ep. 259), which begins live at 11 a.m. Also, who will be the surprise player on defense this season? And Jim asks in the Extra Point: Are QB contracts are out of control?
Dattitude (258): NFL Previews and Predictions, AFC West
We continue our annual NFL Division Previews and Predictions looking at the AFC West on Friday's Dattitude (Ep. 258). In Part 2 of 8, Jim Derry and The Athletic's Larry Holder will go through whether anyone can knock Patrick Mahomes and the back-to-back Super Bowl champ Kansas City Chiefs from their lofty perch and what team might be a surprise. Also, we'll give an update on what is going on at New Orleans Saints training camp.
Dattitude (257): Saints top 5 questions entering training camp
The New Orleans Saints are entering the fourth season of the post-Drew Brees era, and the first three can best be described as mediocre. Why will that change in 2024? Will it change? We have plenty of questions, but we have narrowed them down to our top 5. And on the day Saints enter training camp, host Jim Derry on Wednesday's Dattitude (Ep. 257) asks NOLA.com Saints editor Zach Ewing for the answers.
Dattitude (256): Saints' O-Line status, LSU predictions
It's official: Ryan Ramczyk is done - at least for this season - and he may never play another down for the New Orleans Saints. What does that mean for the offensive line? And with the Rashid Shaheed extension, is the WR corps now more stable? Lastly, the media has made its SEC predictions: Where do the LSU Tigers fall? Jim Derry talks about it all with FOX-8's Garland Gillen on Monday's Dattitude (Ep. 256). Jim wraps up the show with his Extra Point on the USA Men's Basketball team and its debacle against South Sudan this past weekend.
Dattitude (255): AFC East 2024 Preview and Predictions
The NFL season is just 8 weeks away, which means it's time for our annual Division Previews and Predictions on Friday's Dattitude (Ep. 255). In Part 1 of 8, Jim Derry and The Athletic's Larry Holder will preview the AFC East and make their predictions. And Jim will show you how well - or poorly - he did last season in his preseason predics.
July 18: Brian Kelly, LSU top players talk 2024 season
With SEC Media Days going on in Dallas, there's plenty to talk about in the world of LSU football. Advocate staffers Scott Rabalais, Koki Riley and Reed Darcey take a break from reporting to share their insights on what's been said and their projections for the 2024 season. Also, Koki talks about Paul Skenes' night in starting the MLB All-Star Game, while the staff predicts here LSU might land in the initial SEC media preseason poll.
Dattitude (254): Saints receiving corps strength of offense?
Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed are a tough 1-2 punch for the New Orleans Saints, but the rest of the receiving corps is pretty solid, as well. Are they the strength of this team's offense? Jim Derry asks WDSU's Fletcher Mackel on Wednesday's Dattitude (Ep. 254) live at 11 a.m. (CT) and later on demand, and they also will talk a bit about the Pelicans and the upcoming Olympics. Jim's Extra Point is all about Paul Skenes.

Dattitude (253): Have the Saints become too old?
Entering the 2023 season, the Saints were the oldest team in the NFL. It hasn't changed much as we enter training camp here in 2024. Is that a big problem? Is this the team's last real chance to be something special before they HAVE to tear it down? Jim Derry talks about it with WWL-TV sports director Doug Mouton on Monday's Dattitude (Ep. 253).

Insurance in Louisiana: What Comes Next? Discussion with Tim Temple
In a comprehensive discussion hosted by Georges Media Group and sponsored by AARP Louisiana, Louisiana Insurance Commissioner Tim Temple addresses the state's ongoing property insurance crisis. Amid rising insurance rates and legislative changes, Temple explains the measures taken to attract more insurers to the market and reduce costs for homeowners. Key reforms include phasing out the three-year rule, implementing fortified roof programs, and encouraging wind mitigation surveys to lower premiums. Temple also discusses the challenges posed by reinsurance markets and the impact of recent legislative sessions on the insurance landscape. With a focus on consumer choice and market competitiveness, Temple emphasizes the importance of proactive measures and stakeholder collaboration in navigating the crisis. Viewers are encouraged to seek assistance from the Department of Insurance for any issues related to claims or policies.
