Mike gets together with Jen Hale, host on the Gulf Coast Sports & Entertainment Network and NFL sideline reporter for Fox, to discuss the season opener for the Pelicans who open their 2024-25 campaign at home against the Chicago Bulls later tonight, how far can this roster go if everybody is healthy, if playing small ball could work with this roster, before closing out discussing how Jayden Daniels is making a clear case that he should've been the 1st pick overall and the Saints are looking to rebound against the Chargers with a LOT of pieces hopefully back on the field.

Mike recaps the big news yesterday of Saints running back Alvin Kamara signing a huge 2-year $24.5 million extension, which could give him his wish to retire as a Saints as well as the latest on the Saints practice attendance today as the team gets a lot of key players back with a big afternoon bout against the Chargers this Sunday and some roster rearrangement is going on around the league today with the Titans gathering draft picks as they move on from DeAndre Hopkins who was sent to KC, a team in dire need of anyone to help Patrick Mahomes.

We’ll break down why, some of the key players expected to get back from injury, new WR Marquez Valdez-Scantling and how he’ll fit in the offense and a lot more to kick off today’s episode.
