Shirley WWL can't be cereal with this idiot alongside such a legend. The guy is a mush-mouthed retard and that is being nice.

He almost cancels out all that is good in Jim Henderson.

Grunt, groan, spoil the play with a guttural noise.

I don't mind Hokie as a guy. He just adds nothing to the broadcast or when he's on wwl weekdays.

You get no in game analysis and when he's on during weekdays you get nothing from him. He offers no opinions on anything when people ask. Everything is "I trust the staff, they know better than me." He's right about that and its admirable that he's not a know it all blowhard, but he's on the radio, not in the huddle or on Payton's staff. He can question what's going on every once and a while.

He used to be a lot better. He was never smart, but at least he used to be funny. I haven't been listening to the radio as much as I did when I was younger, so I didn't know that it had gotten this bad until recently.

All NOLA sports talk guys are illiterate. Must be a slobbering speech-impeded drunk bum.

I've known Hoke a long time. He appears much worse than in years past . He's very uninterested for the most part. It is time to get some new blood.

He got his job the same way Deke and Bobby Hebert got theirs.

His use of the phrase "my friend" irritates me beyond belief.

He either begins or ends a sentence with this phrase like true 70 IQ redneck

I think it may well be the pain from his playing days. It seems like a few years back he started getting much more negative and grumpy. IIRC, during the year the Saints ended up winning the Superbowl, he was doing a good bit of poor mouthing the team's chances week by week. Maybe after that he figured prognosticating wasn't his strong suit and that's why he's so vanilla now.

If you don't know the "Hokie Story" just shut up and sit down!

I agree 110%! I have never liked him as a saints personality... he doesn't even seem to like talk about the sport. Also no way he puts in extra work to learn what other teams around the NFL do or even who are on their rosters! Its sad and his self-entitlement makes me angry when I do rarely listen to him.... Deke has turned into the same way! LOVED Deke when he did High school football only!

I really do not know how he is still on there. I feel so bad for Jim Henderson.

Some poster a while back called hokie a "cajun porkie pig"

It's fairly accurate

Hokie hasn't been the same since Reggie left. I miss his "git it, Reggie" grunts every 3rd down.
