Claims it’s of his own volition unlike Higgins, hasn’t said where he is going yet but seems to have something lined up.

I think the TP now only has Duncan. Such a fail.

Katzenstein is still there. He’s alright. I have a feeling Holder had a tip he was going to be laid off and sought another job. Then when TP announced the cuts he announced he was leaving for the other gig to save face.

Duncan will get the cut within a couple of years. Newspaper Journalism doesn’t want to pay the old guys their salaries. They want the young bloods who are willing to work for pennies

They hired Luke Johnson this summer to cover the Saints.
He used to covered LSU Baseball for The Advocate and did a solid job.

Link?

When Holder started, I thought he was a massive tool, of the same mold as Fletcher Mackel.

Now I think he is a tool, maybe no longer a massive one, but he seems to know his stuff, which I respect.

He’s not Athletic material

Maybe they’re desperate to expand down here

Jazzy Jeff just got a promotion. He's now Chief Saints Reporter!

I'm of the opposite opinion. I thought he started off well and seemed knowledgeable, but then Duncan rubbed off on him and became more and more of a tool like Jeff.

I’d like to see him go back to radio and do Sports Hangover with Gus Katengail. Those 2 together were the best sports talk show in the city. Now Gus has been by himself since Larry left and the show has never been the same.

It makes me so sad.

My grandmother lived about 4 houses down from my mom in BR. She had the TP delivered every day.

During football season, I loved to read it back in the 90’s. Peter Finney was the GOAT.

RIP to the TP

Agreed. Sports journalists often turn into prima donnas like athletes

Holder is with The Athletic now covering the Saints and LSU.


Glad the Athletic finally got someone to cover the Louisiana beat.

I'm fairly certain that counts as a promotion.

I am just waiting on the #metoo report to drop. I have no doubt in my mind that Jazzy was making inappropriate comments and advances on poor Holder.
