On Black & Gold B.S., brought to you by Zuppardo’s Family Market and AGI Specialty Valves, lifelong friends and self-professed New Orleans Saints nerds Jacob Krasnow, Sean Haspel and Allison Pratt ~tchoup~ it up, exploring the joys and sorrows that come with the fandom of their favorite football team.  This week, the gang breaks down both the on-field and existential implications of the team’s (alleged) hire of San Francisco 49ers passing game specialist Klint Kubiak as their new offensive coordinator, and salute eternal New Orleans legend, Saints fan spirit animal and master of pettiness, Michael Thomas.

32:18 – Despite the reports to the contrary, will the Saints still fire DA?

On Black & Gold B.S., brought to you by Zuppardo’s Family Market and AGI Specialty Valves, lifelong friends and self-professed New Orleans Saints nerds Jacob Krasnow, Sean Haspel and Allison Pratt ~tchoup~ it up, exploring the joys and sorrows that come with the fandom of their favorite football team.  This week, the gang participates in a group therapy session to lament the fact that the Saints are stuck in mediocre football purgatory; call for Jameis Winston to start over Derek Carr; and wonder why the hell we haven’t hired Ken Dorsey yet.
 
Time codes:
 
:55 – The Saints are reliably unreliable
2:04 – The offense under Derek Carr still stinks, so should we give Jameis Winston a chance?
6:58 – If the Buffalo Bills can fire their star OC, why can’t we fire Pete Carmichael Jr.?
21:00 – The coaching (or lack thereof), from top to bottom, continues to torment us
33:12 – Jameis might be careless, but at least he’s fun to watch

24:30 – A magic coin is determining the outcome of our season

Time codes:
 
1:30 – The Saints’ season is basically over…
5:49 – …but is firing Dennis Allen actually the answer?
9:00 – Derek Carr is the Checkdown king, and it’s killing the Saints
13:21 – Saints Twitter is in the midst of a civil war

Did the Saints Braintrust Gaslight Us Into Thinking This Team Was Good?

On Black & Gold B.S., brought to you by Zuppardo’s Family Market and AGI Specialty Valves, lifelong friends and self-professed New Orleans Saints nerds Jacob Krasnow, Sean Haspel and Allison Pratt ~tchoup~ it up, exploring the joys and sorrows that come with the fandom of their favorite football team.  After the Saints fell to the Texans 20-13 in the most mediocre fart-fest ever, Jacob and Sean wallow in sadness, and question whether we can trust this ownership and coaching staff to be honest with themselves (and the fans) about the middling state of the franchise.
 
Time codes:
 
2:23 – Zack Baun’s fumbled interception was the most B.S., on-brand Saints thing ever
11:32 – Literally everything about this game was B.S. (except for the second half defense)
14:21 – Are the Saints mired in mediocrity, and should we actually root for them to lose?
26:24 – Can we trust the Saints ownership and coaching staff, or are we being gaslit?
32:30 – The Baun INT-Fumble and Blake Groupe’s shanked field goals were absolutely backbreaking
