Ross Jackson and I welcome Saints reporter Maddy Hudak to the group as we discuss the highs and lows of the New Orleans Saints' first five games. Where has the team surpassed expectations and where can it improve? 

As we start season 3 of HITP, it's only right that the first episode welcomes back Ross Jackson, my brother in the Dome Patrol, as we talk about the storybook start for the Saints in Week 1. It's good to be home!

Dino "The Dean" Hanson and I break down the New Orleans Pelicans in the aftermath of the firing of Stan Van Gundy. What's the plan now, and how quickly can the Pelicans fix their problems? We take a look at everything from the front office, to the coaching search, and the players themselves. We sort through the mess and give you some hope.

After a lengthy hiatus, Dino Hanson and I reunite for another edition of Hi/Lo, where we recap the Pelicans' season, examine the roster heading into the offseason, the short-term outlook for the franchise. David Griffin says he knows what's missing, but can he find it out there? That and our thoughts on the NBA playoffs and more.

On this edition of The Dome Patrol, Ross Jackson and I discuss the lack on attention paid to the league's race-norming practices, before taking a look at the Saints at the start of mini-camp. We look at the QB battle, notable position changes, contract extensions, and more.

Andrew Smith, one of the "Balcony Boyz" in New Orleans Pelicans media, and I get to catch up while he continues to live and work in Japan. We discuss what the NBA culture is like there, and how he manages to stay up on the Pels throughout the season. We also evaluate what we saw, and try to figure out what's next in NOLA.

For the first time in nearly two decades, the New Orleans Saints are a true mystery. Is that a reason for excitement or trepidation? Who will be under center? What changes are still to be made to the roster? What does Sean Payton have in his bag to keep the Saints at the top of the NFC? Ross Jackson and I talk it out.

With some time before mandatory mini-camps, the Saints haven't made a giant splash in free agency, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Ross Jackson and I look at some recent signings, get a jump on the Alvin Kamara MVP bandwagon, and wonder how badly Kevin James is going to portray Sean Payton.

Louis Prejean, from 103.7 The Game, makes his HITP debut. We discuss his career in sports journalism/broadcasting before moving on to his beloved New Orleans Pelicans. Louis gives his thoughts on this season and what its going to take for the Pelicans to get to the hump, let alone get over it.
