Black & Gold B.S.

Is the Season Already Over for the 2023 Saints?

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 – much like the team itself – the gang has reached rock-bottom, as they discuss the disgraced Jon Gruden as a potential salve for the offense; drag Jesuit/not-Newman grad Foster Moreau for his crippling drop; and bask in the horrors of the last time the Saints lost to the Jaguars…the River City Relay.
 
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
16:02 – Something is wrong with Chris Olave
22:02 – Should the Saints hire Jon Gruden?
25:30 – The Saints-Jags “rivalry” has brought forth generational suffering
27:31 – Foster Moreau’s drop was unforgivable
29:34 – Colts preview

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

The Saints Obliterated the Patriots, and It Was Glorious

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 obliterated the Patriots to the tune of 34-0, the gang asks all the tough questions…are the Saints good now?  Why was Pete Carmichael holding out on us?  Do Trevor Penning and Chris Olave actually suck?  And most importantly, will we get #cancelled after a few controversial jokes?
 
Time codes:
 
2:03 – Pretty much everything about this game was NOT B.S.

Saints get embarrassed by Bucs and our offense is MORE than B.S.

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’ pathetic 26-9 loss to the Bucs, the gang descends into madness, calling for Pete Carmichael Jr.’s firing – or at least, for someone else to call the plays.  The team’s offense has been a dried-up dog turd for three seasons, so it’s about time the offensive coordinator (and the ownership) was held accountable.
 
Time codes:
 
1:45 – Literally everything about this game was B.S., especially the Saints' putrid fart of an offense
12:09 – Who else is to blame, other than OC Pete Carmichael Jr?
24:40 – Who would even replace Carmichael?
29:00 – The Saints are on the brink of total calamity, and we could be entering some dark times
37:14 – Seriously, was anything not B.S. about this game?  Plus, Patriots preview
