The official release of the 2025 NFL schedule doesn’t come until Wednesday evening, but as always, there are plenty of leaks and rumors to talk about for the New Orleans Saints? We ask: Is it better for a rookie head coach in Kellen Moore and rookie quarterback in Tyler Shough to play the easiest parts first, or does it matter?

That’s what we get into first on Wednesday’s Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 374) presented by Evangeline Securities, as host Jim Derry asks for thoughts from the Dat Family. Jim also says brings in local podcast host David Grubb for his expertise on the Pelicans picking seventh in the NBA Draft and whether there’s a possibility of moving up.

Will GM Joe Dumars make some other moves, and what’s the outlook for Coach Willie Green? Gabe Henderson also has thoughts on the NBA Lottery, and in Jim’s ‘Last Word,’ he chastises Major League Baseball for waiting until the death of Pete Rose to let him back into the game.
