It’s less than 5 weeks until the start of the NFL Draft, and it won’t be long before the New Orleans Saints are on the clock at pick No. 14. Is there a specific player they should be looking at or at least a specific position? Jim Derry certainly thinks so, and he has NOLA.com Saints editor Zach Ewing on to talk about it on Monday's Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 219).
Also, we hope your bracket looks better than ours … What should we be looking for with some potentially incredible matchups in the Sweet 16. While we’re talking March Madness, the LSU women gave their fans a scare through 2½ quarters on Sunday, but then they pulled away from Middle Tennessee State and will face the UCLA-Creighton winner Saturday in Albany.
Will they get to the dream Elite Eight game against Caitlin Clark and Iowa? Lastly in Jim’s Extra Point, he shares some incredible highlights from a wild and wacky local All-Star basketball game this past weekend that ended with a score of 119-105.
