David Tyree was the best afternoon host WWL ever had. He passed in 2005.


The best show I remember was back during the midst of another atrocious Saints season (it may have been the Billy Joes era) he and Buddy D put on a whole hour where they pretended the Saints were undefeated and steamrolling teams. They would only field calls singing the "undefeated" Saints team's praises and questions about playoff seedings and Super Bowl accommodations. It was pretty entertaining.

Sucks they both had passed on by 2009 when it went down for real.

I've asked about this on the Saints board but curiously no one else seems to remember it. In the early '90s Buddy D hosted a weekly show with Saints player Renaldo Turnbull. Turnbull was having a bad season and Buddy was calling him out on it. finally Turnbull got so pissed off that he threatened Buddy D on the air.

Even curiouser, the weekly show continued with the pair, and WWL even used tape of the threat to plug the next week's show!
