He bombed out of the 8th grade at Jesuit. (Now there's a rarity.)

I am biased, but Holder would easily be best sports talk in NOLA if they gave him free reign to talk about whatever he wanted


Holder would probably be very good, hell, I think Dellinger could be good as well. I think Underhill might be good if paired up with a good person who can control the flow of the show.

But none of them are currently on the radio.

Let's take it over to our next caller, Steve, in Metairie... home of traffic.

Holder’s general sports knowledge is weak. He knows the names of saints players because he writes about them, but that’s about it

As you can see Holder does not make Nola media top 10

Even with some defections & retirements he doesn’t make the updated list

You can fix the knowledge thing with getting him more well-rounded and have some good people around him

His personality can carry a lot

That being said, if you are a nerd that only wants sports talk for 3 hours straight, then he wouldn't be for you.

I've listened to that YouTube thing more than once... did anyone ever figure out who Stefan Watts is? Kaare sure didn't like hearing about him.

Some of the funniest shite I ever heard was Kaare losing it after they renamed the Twin Span after Frank Davis. I get it, his dad toiled away trying to be a serious journalist for years at WWL, but who do they name the bridge after? Some goofball with a fishing pole and a cute accent. Man did Kaare see red!

(And I like Eric Asher as much as anyone on the radio in NOLA.)

Any Kaare Johnson fans here?
quote:
liked him until I realized he spelled Corey "Kaare"


His mom was from Sweden. He has a sister named Siobahn, pronounced Shivawn and a brother named Bjorn. I've known Kaare since I was about 14. He is a really nice guy.


I've known him since 1985. He's a great guy, but I don't agree with his politics and don't like his radio show because he repeats himself and has too many commercials. His Mom was Lebanese and Dad was Swedish. His Mom made some mean Kibbeh.

I’ve never figured out who Stefan Watts is, I just thoroughly enjoy how mad he gets and how quickly he gets personal inquiring about the caller’s name, job, age, place of employment

Kaare tries so hard to come across as this level-headed, middle-of-the-road guy, but in reality he's a bubbling cauldron of rage and resentment.

Getting fired from WWL did not start this, but it also didn't help. I remember listening to him after Katrina, just driving around the city, when there was absolutely nothing else to do. You could tell he thought he was going to win all sorts of plaudits for that, but all he got was a pink slip.
