The Saints, the City, and Me
Steve Hyde: The Saints, The City & The Day Drinking Club
Saints, Shough & Questionable Decisions in New Orleans The Saints are 1-1, Steve Hyde is back, and somehow a few drinks and a last-minute trip to New Orleans have combined to create another cracking episode of Saints City Me. Daniel, Mike and Steve look back at the agonising Lions loss and the Saints' impressive road victory over Baltimore. We discuss the slow starts, Tyler Shough's development, the emergence of Chris Olave and Juwan Johnson, the potential impact of Jordan Tyson and whether the Saints' passing attack could be something special. How's Dan's Preseason Bets Going? A brand-new feature sees Daniel check in on his increasingly interesting preseason wagers. Chris Olave at 125/1. Chase Young at 500/1. Kellen Moore at 12/1. And Tyler Shough at 80/1 and 100/1. Let's just say the bookmakers are starting to notice the Saints… and Dan is starting to look slightly less ridiculous. We also look ahead to the Raiders and discuss what needs to improve — particularly the run game and those frustrating slow starts. New Orleans Bound Steve and Mike are heading back to New Orleans for a very special weekend celebrating the Superdome's 20th anniversary and Drew Brees' induction into the Saints Ring of Honor. We hear how the trip came together, plans for Baton Rouge, meeting up with Saints fans, a very special pre-game opportunity courtesy of Jerry Wiley, and the discovery of the New Orleans Day Drinking Club. Plus, Steve gives us the story of how he became a Saints fan and faces the traditional SCM quick-fire questions — including his favourite Saints player, New Orleans bar, food and restaurant. And yes, we revisit the infamous Voodoo Ranger/streetcar incident. The Saints are 1-1. The optimism is back. The anxiety remains. And Steve Hyde is going back to New Orleans.
