Driving to work this morning with WWL on radio, and at the end up the sports update, they were promoting a "major announcement" after the conclusion of the 5 pm news update today. Sports Talk starts at 4 and the program picks up again right after the top of hour news updates.

Anyone know what's going on? Maybe they are sending Deke back to the wilds of Amite and gonna have a Bobby - TBob show?

More commercials would be better.

They are announcing the new color commentator for Saints Games since Hokie's passing. Pretty sure that's it, although I guess Tzimme can correct me if I'm wrong.

It will most likely be Deuce.

A lot of us are meeting at the Cajun Cannon's restaurant around 4 to do some pre drinking for the big announcement.

This is gonna be awesome. If we get Deuce in the booth with Jim, we're set for years.

Once again, WWL is bringing it guys, in a big way.

OK, that makes sense.

I had just assumed it would be Deuce.

To be clear, I'd rather it be TBob or Stinchcomb. I think both are way better than Deuce. But Deuce is fine.

WWL doesn't care who's better, just who has the biggest name

WWL went to shite after David Tyree and Buddy D died and went to full on shite when they lost Rush.

Why did his parents hate him so much as to spell his name this way?

Really sad what has become of WWL. Deke and Bobby are totally unlistenable. Has there ever been anyone more arrogant, with absolutely no reason for that arrogance, than Deke Bellavia? Garic is only slightly less intolerable.
After Garland was outed for being Heebe's puppet, I assumed they would do the right thing and shitcan him. I should have known better. Screw WWL. They have lost all credibility.

All of this and more. I get that NOLA loves its personalities, and Buddy D was the champ, but how does a radio station -- in a city with two pro teams and a large following for the flagship university -- staff its sports programming with unintelligible, loudmouth, interrupting boors? As you said, it is unlistenable.
