Why aren’t local sportscasters calling for Allen’s firing & questioning management?

I am talking about stations like WWL channel 4, FOX 8, WDSU, & WGNO.

Are they scared?

I am just perplexed they aren’t diving into things this board talks about daily.

Today’s sports media is about having access to the teams. Today’s NFL/NBA/MLB/NHL franchises & leagues are all about controlling the narrative of what is said about them as bad publicity hurts their brand. The sports media is scared of pissing anyone off to cut their access to be able to report & make content. And here we are………

I mean they are all sharing info about how long its been since we have been this bad. While no one is outright saying "Fire DA", they are submitting evidence to support that stance all the time.

Because they want more than cursory access.

Saints being shite is bad for business for guys like Underhill.

Notice how they write an article about why Kamara deserved an extension. He’s smart enough to know that’s a terrible move and the article should’ve been critical

We will be 2-10 and he and Triplett will title their pod “what do the saints need to do to save the season”. They will attempt to alter the narrative for the low IQs so they can do their show from the field at the dome

They are all scared of losing access. Underhill is the worst offender of this

Listen to Eric Asher on 106.1 The Ticket. He's not afraid to talk abt the Saints ownership/front office. 4 to 6 mon-fri. He's always talking abt them getting fired, but he also knows Ms. Benson won't do it.

As I've said, there is ZERO accountability with this franchise regarding Loomis and Allen. Ms. Benson is hurting our Saints by being the owner. She needs to do what's best for our franchise and sell the Saints to someone who cares and wants to win.

I know it’s technically BR media, but Moscona had a great rant about DA, Mickey and Gayle on AFR yesterday afternoon

At this point it is a forgone conclusion and only a matter of timing.

Not anymore. Was sold to Raycom which in turn sold it to Atlanta based Gray Television.
