On Black & Gold B.S., 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 finally accepts the fact that the Saints might actually be really, really good this year, after the team’s complete and utter annihilation of the Cowboys in Dallas. Shaheed caught another 70-yard bomb, Carr looked razor-sharp again, and oh yeah, Alvin Kamara outscored the entire Cowboys team all by himself.

On Black & Gold B.S., 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 basks in the glory that was the Saints’ 47-10 dismemberment of the Carolina Panthers, but still wonders, was this a mirage? Or is Dennis Allen the Saints' version of 2019 Ed Orgeron? Plus, Sean gets attacked by mutant island hornets mid-show.

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.

This week, the gang mourns the fact that Dennis Allen ruined a 48-17 drubbing of the Atlanta Falcons, going from folk hero to more hated than ever in the span of ten minutes after apologizing to Arthur Smith for running up the score. What a LOSER.

Time codes:

1:44 – This was most tragically ironic and frustratingly “only in NOLA” way to end the season

7:44 – Is Mickey Loomis elitist?

11:00 – DA murdered the winning culture

17:45 – Saints fans aren’t spoiled, we just have higher standards now

22:21 – Is Derek Carr actually…good?

29:40 – Looking forward to the offseason…and trading Marshon Lattimore?

34:07 – Bryce is real!

38:03 – DA is sucking the life out of us and his actions were a disservice to the players

42:16 – Will the Saints actually draft a QB?

This week, the gang laments how Dennis Allen has set the Saints’ brand value back 30 years; wonders if DA will get fired anyway, despite reports that he’s returning; and discuss how the team did actually look good while they dismembered the Bucs on the road.

Time codes:

2:05 – It’s been an awful year, but the Saints are somehow still alive, and that's cool!

13:00 – The Saints have lost the fanbase and the brand has taken a financial blow

17:54 – The NFL desperately needs a farm system

19:30 – Most likely outcome is: Pete Carmichael gets scapegoated and we bring in a new OC

22:02 – DA’s roster management is baffling

28:40 – Who could potentially replace Pete Carmichael?

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

49:50 – The Saints did actually look great against the Bucs, but we have no faith they’ll play well two weeks in a row

This week, the gang laments Derek Carr’s toxic vibes; wonders if the boo’s and poor attendance means we’ve reached a tipping point; and discusses what the franchise can learn from the latest and greatest Godzilla movie.

Time codes:

3:47 – The Saints beat the hapless Panthers again, but it was a hollow victory

11:51 – Signing Derek Carr was a huge mistake and he has toxic vibes

17:38 – Should the Saints actually cut Carr, fire DA and blow everything up?

22:42 – Tommy DeVito and the Giants are ascending and might kick our asses this week.

24:11 – Saints: Minus One, and what the franchise can learn from the latest Godzilla movie.

This week, the gang drags Derek Carr for being incapable of doing the one thing he’s paid $150 million to do; repeat themselves AGAIN re: the team’s lack of attention to detail; and fantasize about LSU’s Jayden Daniels saving the franchise.

Time codes:

2:04 – Everything about this game was B.S., but Derek Carr’s inability to score TD’s is the A-plot

7:12 – The Saints DO have an identity: they are unconcerned with details

13:35 – The magic from Brees-Payton era is gone

17:21 – But what if the Saints draft Jayden Daniels?

20:56 – Ranking the playoff losses that live rent-free in our heads

24:34 – The Lions are gonna dismember the Saints…OR WILL THEY?
