the days they have Mike Dellacono on are fricking bang your head awful. Love me some Hanny, and I know Jimmy takes alot of heat but he works well with Hanny. The show is damn good. But it takes a nose dive when Dellacono is on.

Anyone agree?


I know its been covered before, but hes so bad...I had to rehash

I just don't understand why he's there. He doesn't add a single thing to any discussion and he doesn't know any more than Ott or Hannagrif. Hell, he couldn't even remember Star Lotulelei's name earlier, Charlie had to fill that one in for him.

Yup. With the emergence of podcasts, there is absolutely no reason to listen to talk radio.

I didn't think it was possible for anyone to be worse on radio than Jimmy Ott...





Until I heard Dellacono

Does Ott really think we listen to sports radio because of our gambling habits. I don't care about the gold sheet report

his intro says "former new orleans saint"
but
he doesnt show up on the official saints all time roster of Players who have spent at least one regular season or postseason game on the active roster.

I was about to start a thread about that titled "Is Jimmy Ott a degenerative gambler?" But thought it might be in poor taste.

Dude literally exclusively talks about lines and gambling the whole show.

Jimmy Ott is the greatest local sports talk host Baton Rouge has ever had. Anyone who disagrees is huge pussy, who probably loves Charlie Hannigriff.

I just don't think Dellacono is any kind of authority. I can't figure out why I care what he thinks about NFL football.

Deloconno is the absolute worst. He didnt even play in the NFL. He had a cup of cofffee with the saints and thats about it. He's Ott's friend, that's why he's on there.

Dellacono sounds like SVP compared to Ronnie Rantz and Joel Davis on Sports Shorts. Those two guys are the absolute pits. They're even worse than the sunshine pumpers on Jaguar Journal. Ronnie Rantz must have a photo of Gordy Rush screwing a sheep or something.

He comes off as a bit of a know it all. I don't dread when he's on Sports Today. But I do wish his segment was shorter.

How about vague info? Not names.

Where are they in the process?
Do they know who is going to get the job?
General timeline?

I hope you decide to spread some more info on the coaching changes board at some point in the future.

It would be nice to have some info.
