re: The Saints can’t be serious with having Zach Strief as their radio play by play guy.

I don’t think I agree. While Strief is certainly way behind all the other candidates in terms of experience, he’s used to making more money than all of them. I doubt he’d have been willing to take the job if they weren’t going to pay him fairly

He seems like a very smart guy who wants to be around the game of football. If I had to guess, I would assume he saved and invested his money wisely. We know he has the brewery, I would assume he has other investments as well.

In other words, he probably doesn't need the money.

If you want to stay in the game after you retire, really the only two ways are as a coach/front office, or in media. He may have decided he didn't want to do the coach/front office route, so this is the other way.

I may well be wrong, but I can't think of anything else that makes any sense to me. NFL Radio play by play is not the place for someone with no experience to learn.
