Tuesday Sep 21, 2021

The city is on fire and the Saints are not. Jameis looks like the Jameis we know and love from Tampa, but with a rash of injuries and illnesses depleting the team we discuss what to truly take away from a humiliating division loss. Should the Pelicans look to Ben Simmons as an additional weapon as they look to start strong in a brutal Western conference? Your garbage is still sitting there, LaToya is still mayor, and we’re still podcasting. All this and a lot more on this week’s episode of Polk & Kush.We’re sponsored by: Ale on Oak, and Jansen Petagna at French Quarter Realty.

The Saints take the pre-season field against a depleted Ravens and look like what we expected with some defensive highs and offensive lows. Per usual, when it doesn't matter, the Pelicans can't be stopped as the Summer League Buzz Saw finishes churning through opponents and leaves us with some options and optimism.
