re: Duece is horrible-IMO

Duece, IMO, is doing a great job and I'm glad he's on. He brings a players perspective to the broadcast and calls it like it is. He's not perfect, but I can't think of a better man, or woman, for the job.

Not everyone listening to a radio broadcast is watching the TV with the sound turned off. Description is a plus. Try listening to some old radio mystery theater. It may calm your nerves.

Color commentary is not easy. And speaking in general on the radio can be a trial. You can't have dead air, so no pausing to think about what you need to say next. You have to think and speak at the same time almost. And you need to say it with clarity. That's why people throw in "Uh" and "You know."

The time we could take to consider our words carefully aren't there. This is often why there's both a color and play by play guy at all. Can't analyze a thing when you need to see which # is laying hurt, while also making sure the audience knows the down and distance, etc.

Crap is NOT easy.

Deuce

D E U C E

might be my new favorite saints commentator. I like him a lot. On short run plays and plays that get blown up he analyzes which lineman fricked up, he's really more knowledgeable about the actual game of football that the rest of them and he's obviously more knowledgeable about Brees, Payton, and the organization.

This is his first year. If this is his floor as a commentator he's going to. Absolutely amazing in a few years.

frick you for questioning one of the all time greatest and my personal all time favorite Saints.

Hopefully with experience he'll learn to drop the "ums" and "you knows". It gets pretty bad at times.

Of all the saints voices, you're complaining about deuce mcallister? Really?

frick everyone shitting on Duece. He lost amost everything with his car dealership. He's trying and will get better. Dude is a saints HOF player. DUECE!!!

I don't want to Math, either.

I have been gone from New Orleans (and WWL Radio range) for quite a few years now.

When on the road, I can catch Jim and Deuce on Sirius. I admit I got spoiled with Jim, Hokie, and Kenny Wilkerson for a long stretch.

I would like to see Deuce, regardless of time and station, host a weekly radio show during the offseason (I apologize if he does or previously did). He definitely needs the reps to eliminate the distracting filler words. They personally detract a lot from the broadcast for me.

I also hope in his spare time that he would listen to weekly tapes of other former players - now Radio Color Analysts that work in the NFL and feel free to copy some of their style.
