Polk and Kush
An absurd look at sports and life in New Orleans. This weekly podcast featuring comedian Andrew Polk and longtime local columnist Scott Kushner covers New Orleans teams with a bend away from stats and boring analysis. Instead they focus on the practical, entertaining side of the Saints, Pelicans, UNO, Tulane, and more.

It's officially Taysom time in the Superdome as the swiss army knife has a hall of fame performance to help close out a tight one against a revived Geno Smith and the Seahawks. The Pelicans continue their undefeated pre-season only adding fuel to the burning hype-fire that we are gladly warming ourselves with. No one reads these. What am I talking about? There's a shark attack off the Louisiana coast and someone lives to tell the tale!

Andy Dalton and the New Orleans Saints play their best football of the season but still drop one in London. The New Orleans Pelicans host an open practice with the newly transformed Zion, then proceed to unleash in Chicago for the preseason. John Kennedy is a clown, swimming in potholes is frowned upon, and LaToya is gonna pay us back (eventually).

The Saints make too many mistakes to hold the Bucs off in New Orleans and we might be seeing a switch at QB sooner than later if Jameis continues to fracture vertebrae. The Pelicans have a Euro MVP on their bench in Willy Hernangomez, and slice into the very long off-season with an open practice! Tulane "shocks" Kansas State, LSU makes a statement in the fourth, and a clown is arrested at Dairy Queen.
