He was probably the most knowledgeable person about Saints history who was still alive. This is a big loss.

Great writer and human being. The TP went to shite when they forced him to retire.

Loved reading his articles every Monday after Saints games. A New Orleans original. He was able to bring words to life like no other. RIP Mr. Finney.

The man was a special writer!! His writing during the early Saints days was something to look forward to. Rest in peace??

Remember reading his articles at the breakfast table before heading to school back in the 90's and early 00's.
Some say the kids today have it good. They don't realize what they missed out on.

Hands down the best sports writer the Times Picayune ever had. I used to love his Crystal Ball predictions of the coming year that he wrote every December 31. He was a walking encyclopedia of New Orleans sports. A New Orleans legend.

Damn, totally forgot about those. I loved them as well. Always kept it light hearted even when the Saints were terrible.
Now we are left with these attention whoring twitter jockeys who cover the Saints

His son did my three shoulder surgeries. We talked about him several times. So sad, RIP.

The best sportswriter in the history of New Orleans journalism. RIP Pete.

These are the longtime media foundation members of the New Orleans Saints. Now they are gone. RIP Pete.
His son has operated on me twice. Great guy. We would sit and talk SEC football and golf.
