Jeez people. He’s two games into the preseason. Give the man a little time to grow into the new job.

He can’t grow into a professional radio voice. He’s amerture at best. Never should’ve been hired.

Here's the problem with that statement. An NFL PBP position is not a "grow into" position. It's supposed to be a professional hired to do the job because it's the pinnacle of that line of work.

This is just problematic of the media direction the organization is taking right now. (you know the saints had a hand in this) Strief is horrendous. I've heard HS football guys call games better than him. He's terrible at this job and has no business sitting in that chair.

This coincides with the utilization of SP's daughter in a position she has no business in either. She's got no credentials, not one bit other than she's his daughter. How much experience does she have to start off at the NFL level of Journalism? None. She's being fed questions with canned answers.

The public has been fed self made news for too long and most will accept this. Personal opinion, the hiring of Strief and Megan are simple opportunities for the organization to hear only what they want you to hear.

I'm just disappointed that WWL went from the flagship radio of the south to what it is today.

There is a reason that PBP guys exist and are rarely people outside of broadcasting unlike the color commentary position.

Hiring non-broadcasters in the latter position has proven successful over and over again.

The thought that someone, anyone, can just learn how to be a pbp guy is folly. It actually takes real talent...something not everyone can do. If you don't believe me, go listen to the broadcast.
