On Saturday long time announcer Jerry Romig received a special gift from the Saints organization.







After 44 years of calling Games (replacing the great Buddy D) a marriage of over 50 years 5 kids and a home lost to Katrina Jerry finally gets a ring.

I can say with 100% certainty that I will never forget his voice. And it will be forever...

When was Buddy D the Dome PA announcer?

Obviously I'm probably wrong, but I thought all full-time employees got them the next season.

I don't know if he isn't considered full time, or maybe he officially worked for the Superdome and not the team, but I feel like after the players coaches, and Front Office, he would have been one of the first to get one.

Classy move. He's definitely a memorable part of my Saints game experience. I'm glad his son sounds almost exactly the same

I believe Hendo has one.

I met Mr. Jerry several times at Endymion as he always announced the floats entering the dome. He's a great guy and really just a delight to talk to. I asked him aside from the super bowl and nfccg what his fondest memory was working for the saints. He said without a doubt, going to the game in London.
