From the Sidelines to the Seats is a sports podcast focused on football, perspective, and thoughtful conversation.
Hosted by a father and son, the show brings together two viewpoints: one shaped by decades of experience as a sports journalist — with a foundation in high school sports and a people-first approach — and the other shaped by fandom, knowledge of the game, and honest reactions from the stands.
Each episode grows out of real conversations that happen while watching games.
The New Orleans Saints pick up a 34-27 road win over the New York Giants, but what looked like a comfortable victory turned into a fight to the finish.
On this episode of From the Sidelines to the Seats, we break down the Saints' roller coaster of a game, from falling behind early to building a 34-10 lead before nearly letting it slip away. Tyler Shough delivers four total touchdowns, the running game finds some success, and the defense forces four turnovers, but late-game struggles leave plenty to discuss.
We also look at the impact of getting Alvin Kamara, Kendre Miller and the rest of the backfield involved, Shough's performance while playing through hand injuries, the defensive adjustments that nearly cost the Saints the game, and Kamara reaching 5,000 career rushing yards and 5,000 career receiving yards.
With an international matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Paris coming up, one big question remains: Which Saints team will show up next?
