Do you remember the first time you stepped inside the Superdome? For some fans, that was quite a long time ago. Since then, some of the greatest events in sports have taken place there: football and basketball championships, boxing titles, big-time concerts, Mardi Gras extravaganzas, etc.

In other words, there’s plenty for Jim Derry and Times-Picayune and Advocate Saints editor Zach Ewing to talk about on Friday’s (Ep. 394) . This comes ahead of Sunday’s release of a special section celebrating 50 years of the Dome.

Jim and Zach also have plenty to say on the media and fans already writing off quarterback Tyler Shough after just 10 days of practice and how some are saying Shedeur Sanders should have been drafted instead. Also, Gabe Henderson is here to share his thoughts on the Saints QB situation and the MLB trade deadline.
