Everything is Fine: Saints Expect Carr to Miss Time.

Marcelo Unda • September 25, 2023

I am just come out and say it. The panic button is out. I haven't hit the panic button, however; it's out and i'm staring at it. The Saints lose to the Packers 18-17 after allowing the Packers to go 18 unanswered points in the 4th quarter. The biggest news of the day was Derek Carr having to leave the game with a reported AC sprained in the third quarter. The offense struggled to put a drive together until the final drive in the 4th quarter which led to Blake Grupe missing a 46 yard attempt to take a lead with a minute left. Just a brutal lose to take in the NFL.


The reason why I am not hitting the panic button is because the NFL season is a long one. We are currently one game back in the NFC South division. Tampa will play tomorrow night against the favorite Eagles. My concerns with the team is how the hell can we not score more than 20 points. The Saints O-line has disappointed the ability for this offense to sustain drives, and now possible for Derek Carr to miss significant time.



I'm not gonna lie. I thought it was worse. I thought I could trust Jameis to lead the offense. I really did. What I saw today was the same inaccurate throws and poor defense reads that this team cannot deem to be acceptable with where they want to be at the end of the season. I do have to tip my hat to the defense taking accountability for the loss and making it personal that they gave up 18 points.

Jameis or Taysom?

Now that I have had some time pass after the game. I really think Taysom to play QB2 might actually be better. He can move around in the pocket to avoid the pass rush. Extend plays with his legs. This post dropped earlier last week, but I'll be lying to you if I didn't go back and watch the highlights

Then there's the fun loving, great teammate, the player you want to root for to shock the world--Jameis Winston. If there was a time to show your worth it's right now. Jets' fans were interested in trading for him, and I said not to. Football Fans love Jameis. His teammates love him. I may just love him too.

I am a seesaw wreck of emotions on who our starting quarterback is. Glad to hear Carr isn't seriously injured.  Still a lot of football left. Still can't beat watching 7 hours of football on Sundays

Swifties X Football

My gawd did the internet break when the news that Taylor Swift was in Arrowhead. All the rumors the past several weeks that Travis Kelce was seeing Taylor recently were made true. The announcement came during the Chiefs/Bears game Sunday afternoon.

This is just a funny- what really happens in the real word vs in celebrity & athlete life--. I agree it would be a tough spot to meet mom. This is the Queen of pop culture, and the Queen of NFL in Donna Kelce. She is no rookie when it comes to being the face of the show. She announced the Chiefs first round pick at this year's draft. Both her sons played in the Super Bowl last year. She's now in Campbell's Chunky Soup commercials with the Kelce Bros. Good for Travis and Taylor though, but I will admit I am so over the Kelce Bros. How do you not feel the NFL is shoving them down our throats? Makes you wonder??

The Kelce's are a NFL plant

The Dolphins are Red Hot



The Dolphins MOLLY WHOPPED the Denver Broncos. It was incredible to see Tyreek Hill, Raheem Mostert, and Devon Achane get the ball in their hands and watch the Broncos defense unable to close in space.

Live look in Denver:

Who knows, there could be a wild grease fire down Poydras St with what the Saints have been cookin' on offense.


Who Dat!

NOLA Gold's win over Seattle secures 3rd place in the Major League Rugby Eastern Conference standings

By Tina Howell • April 28, 2025
After a weather-delayed kickoff, loyal NOLA Gold fans were treated to a rollercoaster of a match that ended with a well-earned 44-36 victory over the Seattle Seawolves at the Shrine. This win moved NOLA Gold into 3rd place in the Major League Rugby Eastern Conference standings. Coach Danny Lee said of the team's response to the delay, “We just had to control the controllables. Once we told the boys the definitive time for kickoff, we had a plan ready to go. In terms of game plan, we had to be a little bit more direct, and we had to kick and adapt quickly.” NOLA Gold set the tone early, taking an initial 3-0 lead thanks to a steady penalty kick from Dorian Jones. Though Seattle answered quickly with a try to make it 7-3, the Gold launched into a dominant scoring stretch. Isaac Te Tamaki powered across the try line to ignite the offense, followed by back-to-back tries from the relentless Jonah Mau’u. Jones continued to add points from the tee, stretching the Gold’s lead to 27-7. Just before halftime, the Seawolves found a breakthrough and scored at the buzzer, narrowing the margin to 27-14. However, NOLA emerged from the locker room with purpose. Xavier Mignot wasted no time reestablishing momentum with a try that pushed the lead to 34-14. Seattle fought back with intensity, capitalizing on back-to-back tries to bring the score to 34-24. But NOLA responded with composure, as Jones added another penalty to keep the visitors at bay, 37-24. The closing stages of the match saw both teams exchanging blows. Seattle’s try was met by a decisive moment from Joe Taufete’e, who muscled through defenders for a critical score. Luke Campbell’s conversion extended the lead to 44-29. Though Seattle scored one final try at the buzzer, it wasn’t enough. With a final score of 44-36, NOLA Gold walked away with a crucial five-point win in front of a roaring home crowd and strengthens their postseason hopes with a firm grip on 3rd place in the East. Their next match will be on the road against the San Diego Legion on May 4th at 4:00 PM CT. For tickets and more details, please visit www.nolagoldrugby.com
