Saintsaholics Anonymous: A New Orleans Saints Podcast

We revisit one of our most popular episodes (Ep. 45), and roll out our UPDATED rankings of the Top 10 Saints of all time. Question is not “if” the lists are different from a year and a half ago, but “how different”?? (Especially Corey’s…[insert eye-roll here]). Definitely some interesting takes, perhaps some unpopular ones, and obviously some agreement on no-brainers. Like the first time we did th...

It's a debate for which there could be a lot of "right answers", there could be a lot of "wrong answers", except a couple of positions, but which Saints make the cut as the BEST at his position in Saints history? We have our answers for you in this one. It proved to be a solid debate on a few and simple rubber stamps on others. For example, we know its Drew at QB, so we debate who comes in as the...

AAND WE'RE BACK!! It seems like the world was a different place the last time we recorded - Carr had just retired, new Saints fans have been born since then (Congrats to our guy Jono!), wives have appeared on friends' podcast (Saints, City, and Me brilliance at its finest), a garbage truck crashed and got lodged for weeks blocking an on-ramp we all use in the city AND was removed by construction c...

It definitely wasn't what we had on our bingo cards for how the Saints' Derek Carr Saga would end, but the news of his retirement definitely brought the result we wanted: Moving on from Carr and beginning the process of finding the QB of the future. Will it be Shough, Rattler, none of the above? Time will tell, but Carr being off this team provides a breath of fresh air and a clean start that we s...

In one of the most improbable moves, the Saints used ALL NINE of their picks in the 2025 draft. NO trades at all, using all 4 picks in the top 100. Without looking any further, we agree that - from jump - that's the best thing to come out of this draft. Now, after that, we begin to disagree. As a "PROGRAMMING ALERT"...we should mention that we talked about the #ShedeurSlide for about the first 8 m...

This could quite possibly be the ONLY Saints draft preview podcast episode you'll need to listen before the draft begins on Thursday Night. (It's a marathon, so you also may not have time to listen to any others either...) We kick off this episode with a full, "on-air", unedited SEVEN ROUND MOCK DRAFT for the Saints. (Make sure to check out the YouTube Video Ep to see the draft board in action - b...

With the draft less than two weeks away, of course the Saints get news that their starting QB is “now dealing with” a shoulder injury that could keep him out of the 2025 season. Many are now saying that drafting a QB/Shedeur Sanders at No. 9 is the “only” option, but is it really? Does this news make it more or actually less important to go QB at No. 9? Would BPA actually be the smarter choice in...

So, less than an hour after we finished recording our last episode, the Saints announced the signing of Chase Young to his three-year deal - such is life sometimes for podcasters like us during an active period like NFL Free Agency. BUT, of course, the Saints continued to sign guys since then, some completely new, some old, and some "old" as in familiar in a reunion with the Black & Gold. We g...

The NFL Free Agency "legal tampering" period began earlier in the day we recorded this (Monday 3/10), and spoiler alert, the Saints signed Chase Young to his deal about an hour AFTER we finished recording this one. Nonetheless, we get into what the Saints have done thus far and debate slightly differing opinions on how the rest of free agency/the offseason looks for roster building. Plus, of cours...

We get into a whole lot in this one. Breaking down the new coaching staff hires, especially the shift to a 3-4 Defense under Brandon Staley. Plus, we fall yet again into the quicksand pit of Carr vs. Rattler, or - who else would we rather see instead of either of them if the Saints were to move on? Listen in!

Super Bowl Week in our home town was definitely one for the books. The City's buzz was real as the whole NFL universe descended upon New Orleans for the big game, and the three of us took part in as many super bowl related events as we could - which, even if they weren't large in number, we definitely had a front row seat to the city putting its best foot forward, which has been met with rave revi...

With the Saints in kind of a "holding pattern" in their HC search/awaiting the conclusion of the Super Bowl to announce the expected hire of Kellen Moore, a national news bombshell blew up right on the doorstep of Airline Drive. So, we touch on the recent church scandal email release, how it's different from the news that came out a few years back, and what it may mean (or not mean) for the team a...

Well, this has been a Saints Head Coach search for the books...but for all the wrong reasons. Even as we write this description for the episode we just recorded, the candidate who two of us preferred for the Saints HC job JUST announced (as of 9:19 p.m., 1/28/25, per Tom Pelissero) that he is OUT for the 2025 coaching cycle (a/k/a out on the SAINTS, since we're the only team left with a vacancy)....

It’s a yearly tradition now, hold our breath and listen back to our season preview ep. Last year we were WAY off on a lot, but this year? We actually surprised ourselves. Still, plenty in this episode was laughably off from what ended up transpiring for our Saints this year. And, of course, our preseason hot takes are always a good listen after the year wraps. These are no exception. Kick back and...

Yes, the word "defense" is in quotation marks in the title of this episode because, contrary to our predictions going into the 2024 Saints season, it's hard to say exactly how much "defending" actually took place when the offense wasn't on the field...So, through that lens, we continue our 28 to 3 Pod Saints Season Recap and grade the defense's paper. Spoiler alert, consensus is they were light ye...

After having the benefit of a full week since the Saints 2024 season "officially" ended, we dive into our annual RECAP episode. This year, unlike last, we're splitting it up into two parts - one for offense and one for defense. In this one, we take the offense position group by position group, handing out final letter grades to each one. Safe to say, this wasn't a very good report card. More than...

Last game of the year, so we didn’t hold back with our predictions. In depth, covered every angle in this one. Enjoy.

We got together before the new year and did our best to recap another embarrassing loss for our Saints. We agree we made a pretty terrible team look much better than they are. We debate what these past two losses/play overall plus lack of talent means for the team going forward, including in the team’s efforts to hire a new head coach. TUNE IN! WHO DAT?!

Much earlier this year, we'd hoped this game would be filled with much more anticipation - potential for division title on the line for our Saints, a chance for Derek Carr to get a W against his old team in his new home - and perhaps just a helluva time in the Dome to take us into the new year. Is that last one still possible? Maybe. But, those first two options....not exactly. NONETHELESS, we bri...

It’s a recap of the Packers game. We had so many thoughts on this one, it just took a while to get them all into an episode. BUT, we did the dirty work and unpacked every detail in that embarrassing debacle, down to every word. #STINKS So buckle up, get comfortable, pour yourself your favorite jug-full of holiday cheer, perhaps a fire, and enjoy this in-depth #Saints game review. Merry Christmas a...

We are full-on in the swing of the holiday season with Christmas just days away, so we come bearing the gift of a combo episode including our recap of the Commanders game AND our preview/predictions, plus LOCKS for the Monday Night Matchup in Green Bay. Given our respective holiday schedules, Max and Nick recorded remotely together and Corey jumps in separately at the end of this one and brings hi...

We definitely have a tough one ahead this week as #ThatKidJayden leads the Commanders into the Dome to take on our Saints, led by that kid...Jake? Who knows, maybe young Jake can surprise us and do some things to keep it close or pull off an actual upset against the Commanders, but...our predictions don't exactly paint the same amount of hope. That said, we get into what we expect in this one and...

With Derek Carr’s latest injury possibly sidelining him for the majority (or all) of the Saints remaining games (depending on who’s reporting), we dive deep into how the team should handle it moving forward, BUT NOT…before Corey takes some time to RANT about what he think borders on the deranged; that is, the level to which Saints fans seem to “bitch” about and blame Carr, seemingly no matter what...

A win's a win, right? The Saints went into New Jersey in a homecoming for their interim Head Coach and got the W. Of course, we definitely have some thoughts about the game overall, was it basically the same level of "energy" as the Rams game, just happening to come against a much lesser opponent? Also, what was going on with our O-Line, especially playing as our Week 1 starting unit for the first...

Our Saints take their talents up to Jersey this week to take on the Giants. Listen in to hear our predictions of how this clash of teams with SIX WINS between them will turn out! This has to be one we can get…right? We dive into that, PLUS! COREY’S LOCKS! He’s hungry for his first one as the 0-fer streak has continued. Is that DAWG gon eat?! Or keep searching? Listen in to find out. WHO DAT?!
