On July 26th the Pelicans and New Orleans Saints announced an eight year partnership with Ochsner, and even renamed the training facility and practice fields after said corportation.

Less than three weeks later, the New Orleans Saints Head Coach Sean Payton fired team doctors Deryk Jones and Misty Suri after a misdiagnosis of team's starting corner, Delvin Breaux. The doctors had misdiagnosed a fractured fibula as a contusion.

Misty Suri also serves at Head Team Doctor to the Pelicans and after a greatly improved season in 2016/17 health wise the Pelicans are sticking by their leader.

We break down the drama and get all the hot takes from Editor Oleh Kosel and contributor Travis Tate, and then we spend a little time chatting about Frank Jackson, Quinn Cook, and Game of Thrones!
