• 1:02
  Speaker 1: I was prepared to start the show talking about the
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: possibility of Justin Fields being the Saints quarterback in twenty
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: twenty five. Well, I'm not sure I actually believed that
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: was really going to happen. When people around the league
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: who cover the league start writing about possibilities for the
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints ad quarterback beyond Derek Carr, you start
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: to think that they know the Saints plan internally is
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: to move on from Derek Kop be it Justin Fields
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: or Spencer Rattler or any damn body else. I had
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: a full opening segment prepped to talk about anybody other
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: than Derek Kak, what it would look like, what it
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: would cost, who it could be how it would play
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: out at followed prep and then Mickey Loomis, in his
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: infinite wisdom, who by the way, there were two NFL
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: teams whose GM coach didn't speak on the dais to
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: the media assembled. One of them your New Orleans Saints.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Because these friggin cowards go hide.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: They don't actually want to sit there and face tough
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: questions with Mike's and cameras rolling, So they have a
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: covert meeting with the New Orleans Saints media assembled in Indianapolis,
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: and Mickey Loomis coward that.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: He is, sheepishly.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: And passively commit it's to Derek Carr for twenty twenty five.
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: And I think I think Derek's always been a really,
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: really good quarterback in this league, and we feel very
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: fortunate to have him part of this. I think we
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: feel we got a guy we can win with and
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: we're excited about that.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Quotes from Mickey Loomis today at the Combine giving tacit
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: approval to Derek Carr being back in twenty twenty five.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Why why are you trying to ruin my Sundays? Why
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: are you trying to ruin something that I love? Why
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: are you trying to make me hate something that I
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: have invested so much time, energy, passionate, love, part of
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: my being in my entire frigging life. Why are you
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: trying to make me hate the New Orleans Saints, because
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: right now, right now, I hate the New Orleans Saints.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: As long as they allow gum smacking Mickey to run
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: this show and bury my favorite team.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: I can't sit here for another year.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: I can't tell you honestly that I can sit there
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: for seventeen games next fall and watch a quarterback with
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: Mascara on who displaces blame for everything to everyone else
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: all the time, run my favorite team into the ground.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: I'm pissed off at Derek Carr for being who he is.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: I'm pissed off at Mickey Loomis for continuing to commit
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: to Derek Carr.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: I'm pissed off Kellen.

  Speaker 3: Moore for being a yellow belly dude that and't coached
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: the game, already took this job.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Couldn't stand up to Mickey Loomis and.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: Say I don't want Derek Carr if ever you had
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: the cover, if ever you had the cover to move on,
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: crash and burn in year one. It's right now a
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: decade of bag contracts. You're coming in at thirty six
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: years old. You have a grace period, a long grace period.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: And instead of saying, you know what, I'll take three
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: and fourteen year one if it means getting my franchise
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: guy next year, you'd rather take seven to ten with
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: Derek Carr. You'd rather just roll along with Mickey Loomis's plan.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: What more do you need to see? Somebody answer this
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: question for me? What more do you need to see?
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Derek Carr has been a starting quarterback in the NFL
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: for eleven freaking seasons. What do you think you're gonna
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: find out about Derek Carr in year twelve that the
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: first eleven freaking seasons haven't already told you? Somebody answered
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: me that freaking question right now. What do you think
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: you're gonna all of a sudden magically fined with Derek
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Carr at thirty five years old.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: That you don't already know?
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: He's a sub five hundred quarterback for his career eleven seasons,
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: He's made the playoffs twice. He's the first quarterback in
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: the history of the league to lose to thirty one
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: different teams. NFL dot Com just ranked the quarterbacks. They
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: have him twenty fourth. Fox just ranked the quarterbacks that
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: got him twenty fourth. Before the season, PFF ranked the
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: quarterbacks they had him twenty first. He is what I
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: have said he is from the day they signed him.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: He is a lower mid tier upper bottom him to
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: your starting quarterback in the NFL.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a starter.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: He's got a higher floor, but a lower ceiling that
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: has been revealed to us through eleven years as a
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: starting quarterback in the NFL.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: He is mid. He'll never be anything more than mid.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: And as long as this is your quarterback, you will
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: never be anything more than mid.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: If you would exist in this perpetual state of mediocrity
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: and suck acidness, I just made that up. That's what
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: you're gonna be at best, that's what you're gonna be.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: You're never gonna commit, You're never gonna contend. You're gonna
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: be a team that lives there. Seven eight wins, right
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: on the brink of five hundred. Maybe in a bad division,
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: you sneak into the playoffs and get bounced around. What
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: is that what you want? That ain't what I want?
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: The only reason that this is better than any alternative
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: is this means I ain't gonna draft Jalen Milroe because
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: they after Jalen Milroe that I would burn every.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Piece of Saints clothing I have. I'd never cheer for
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: the franchise again.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, I guess Gale Benson don't care if you
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: take your money and set just set a freaking match
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: to it.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: She didn't earn it.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: She just married a rich guy, Derek freaking car And
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: I knew it. I knew it deep down on my soul,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: like I knew this is what they were gonna do.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: I knew this is what they were gonna do. Like
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: last year. I begged on air last year, don't restructure him,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: don't restructure him, eat it for one more year.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Just eat it for a year and get rid of him.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: What did they do?
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: A restructured and now it's not financially proven to get
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: rid of him again. No matter when it happens, no
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: matter when you part ways with Derek Carr, when that
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: inevitable day comes, it's gonna hurt financially because you gave
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: a mid quarterback a one hundred and fifty million dollar
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: contract and you've already restructed it once because your.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: GM sucks at his job.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: In no other professional sports league would a GM be
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: this incompetent, miss the playoffs four straight years, have the
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: worst cap situation, the worst draft record, all of this,
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: all these X marks on the.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Ledger and keep his job.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: But here we are with the New Orleans Saints, the
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: team that just happens to be my favorite team. Is
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: this what it's like to be a Jets fan?
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Is this what I hear like?
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Jets fans bitch about their lifetime of feeling like this.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: I get it now, I get it.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: If I had to deal with this for thirty forty
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: fifty years, I get it.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: And listen.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: I'm old enough to know what it was like to
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: watch this team be complete teetotal dog poop.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: I remember Mike Ditko, Jim has a late. I was
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: there for the end of Mora when it went bad.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: Rick Venturi was the interim coach, elated when hakem dropped
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: the ball. Super Bowl run was incredible. Sean Payton was awesome,
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: But I know what it was like. I'm old enough
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: to remember Dalton in the Dome patrol. Now I don't
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: remember Danny A. Bramdon, which running to a camera. Russell
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: erks Leavy kicking the ball backwards. Some of you OG's
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: got me on that, but damn it, man, this is
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: my life. My whole life is a Saints fan. I'm
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: just bleeding emotionally right now. You go fifteen years of
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: an expectation of winning, and now you don't see a
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: path forward.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: I'm stupid. I am stupid.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: Because I sat here the day Sean Payton retired and
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: I said, you know what, I'm grateful for Sean Payton
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: because what he just did for fifteen years elevated the
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: expectation level of this franchise such that it will never
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: get back to where it was before.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: He was here.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: And boy, was out dead wrong because little did we
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: know the cancer infestation, the yellow fungus under the toenail
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: was actually Mickey Loomis, who has no accountability whatsoever because
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: Gayle Benson is just gonna let do whatever the hell
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: he wants. Blow the salary cap, ruin drafts, waste money
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: on mid quarterbacks, give bad contracts to all players.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Not resign your free agency. Y'all realize we just watched
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: a guy.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: Two players that were finalists for NFL Defensive Player of
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: the Year. Two players that the Saints draft did that.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: Mickey Loomis couldn't resign because he hired a bad coach
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: that didn't know how to use Zach Bond and he
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: mismanaged the cap so badly you couldn't pay Trey Hendrickson.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: How's that fit any other GM? That one of those
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: get you fired? This jack leg just keeps burning money,
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: wasting talent, and now he's committing more to Derek Carr.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: You got the wrong guy a coach, You got the
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: wrong head coach and Kellen Moore. Kellen Moore doesn't have
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: enough of a sack to stand up to Mickey Loomis
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: and say what are we doing here?
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: But I guess that's why I took the job. I
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: guess that's why Mickey hired him. He hired a yes
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: man who's just gonna do whatever he says.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Oh and we like that? What was the quote again?
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: And I feel like we got a guy who came
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: with think we're excited about. I think Derek Carr has
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: always been a really good quarterback in this league, and
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: we feel fortunate to have a part of this.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Fortunately, I'm about to become a fan free agent man.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: But the turn in my fan card long as long
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: as that guy, as long as that guy is running
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: this organization and the owner won't hold him accountable to anything,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Why are we wasting our time? Why are we wasting
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: our time with this organization? Devastating? Derek Carr stopped to
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: get out of here.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: Just go go. I'm going to talk about something better.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Just go
