What surprises me is that we have not replaced Deke with one of the superbowl winning players who have recently retired. Greer and Vilma are both well-spoken and are or have been working in media. Deuce does some pre-game shows and Stinchcomb does preseason. How has one of them not been brought in to host the show or at least contribute? For god's sake, we won a superbowl, yet still trot out has-beens like Bobby. Give me Vilma and Greer just talking about the 09 season every damn day!

Glad that on air stroke straightened him out.

He's got a memory like an elephant but he will argue a point even if he knows he is dead wrong and he treats some of his callers like crap.

In other words, they're too good for WWL.

Good stuff, mate. These are things to ponder over, indeed.

I was coming to post this.

Deke is bunkie trash and needs to go. Ive forgiven Bobby for his comments after leaving the team. His fandom here in the last 10 years has been incredible.

Deke panders to his audience for sure. Way back when he had a high school football radio show in Amite he did not have the accent he has now...

I was listening that day...it was after a game. Man, that was some true jibberish. Let the man eat his cheesburger, we don't want him passing out from starvation

T-Bob came on like an hour later and was 10 times better than Deke.

He actually had coherent opinions on the game, interacted with and complimented callers when they made valid points, and used his major NCAA action to describe what happened in certain situations and why.

Really insane that Deke still has a job at that level.

People who don't get outside of New Orleans much don't always realize how utterly ridiculous and bad the Saints' and WWL's local radio presence is, compared to other teams in other markets around the league. Deke and/or Hokie would not last a month on radio in any other pro team American city besides NO, he'd be fired for not knowing anything about his subject, never mind the eating. I mean we all like to make fun of guys like Paul "this is not Detroit" Allen's radio calls, but at least in Minnesota if you tune in they are professional and sound like real people on the radio talking about their team.

I once dated a girl originally from Buffalo and I spent a couple of visits up there listening to local Bills radio, a decade or so ago, during the week and game days, and even though it was the effing Bills, it was literally TEN ZILLION TIMES better than the broadcasts we have here. Other than Jim Hen, this town has nothing on the dial that is even remotely professional or NFL-worthy caliber. It's sad.


You nailed that like a split hog sir.
I lived near DC for 15 years and everything on WWL wouldn't last a week in a middle to major market. Especially those two bozos.

No.
What I'm proposing is that we, as fans of this organization, start advocating for something better.

T Bob is better than his dad, and Mike Detill is better than Deke.

Replace them during drive time, and put Bobby and deke on at 9-12PM or whenever the night shift takes over. Mike and little Bobby would be a fresh take, and probably attract more listeners.

Will you assist Prince TBob in usurping the king? It is his rightful throne after all.
