If you listened to their radio show you would know why.
Bobby and Deke cut a lot of people off and are rude to most casual fans.
Both can sound awful on the mic and Bobby takes the cake for slurring words and drunk at times.

In their defense, a lot of stoners and drunks call in and talk real slow. But not all are drunk and stoned, and they take a knee jerk approach and body slam a lot of fans trying to ask questions to learn the game. It comes off as arrogant.

Both are bad. Bobby is bad but Deke goes to another level of bad. Hebert threw out F* bombs on live radio, challenging callers to fights last week :rolleyes:. Embarassing.

Poor sports broadcasting & I'm not at all surprised to read this.

Should give the job to Zach Strief if he is ready to retire.

That sounds like Bobby Hebert every week on that radio show.

There is little to no radio talent any more in New Orleans...

It's been downhill since Jim Henderson, well all of us, lost Hokie Gajan...

Henderson and Archie Manning were great as well - for me that was as good as Gajan...

Archie offered better insight and predicted things more accurately...

And Gajan had those terrific Hokie-isms that were an entertainment in and of itself...

Maybe we can get Tony Romo to announce our games.

I think he is hiarious. I’m surprised anyone notices anything with all those commercials.

I really HATED Deuce at first but I have to admit the more comfortable he gets the more he is growing on me.

I miss Buddy D.

I really think New Orleans radio should be peopled with black people so the real New Orleans is represented and outside listeners get a first hand experience of how brilliant the people in our city really are.

Jim Nantz and Tony Romo are already the best duo since John Madden and the late Pat Summerall...

Doesn't say much for NFL announcing...

Liked Jon Gruden, but he never had a good announcer paired with him...

How racist of you. New Orleans is unique because it is a mixed culture, not just full of black people.

Re: There is a Petition to Remove Bobby Hebert off Saints Radio
 
I listened to Bobby, after the game the other night and I didn't hear any F bombs being thrown as some fans have accused him of doing. I do think he does come off as a little crazy sometimes. But as the Who Dat Nation, we can all come off a little crazy every once in a while. I think the petition is ridiculous and there is no need to replace Bobby. His colorful personality is what helps separate our team coverage from the boring vanilla type coverage that other teams have. Living here in Chattanooga, I've listen to one or two Atlanta Falcons post game shows and it is just bland and boring. We should consider ourselves blessed to have people like Bobby and Deke who make being a Saints fan that much more interesting.

Romo was wearing me out yesterday though ... he kept saying "who is this guy?", referring to Bortles making accurate throws. Nantz should have interrupted him and said "he is the guy trying to do in 3 weeks what you couldn't do your entire career. Win 3 playoff games :D.".

Tony is a very likable analyst but yesterday he had a hard time praising Blake B.

I love Deuce, I find his loyal "inside" analyses refreshing and illuminating. Best thing to happen to Saints radio in years.

Radio is dead. Especially call in shows. Listening to local fans drag on and on with pointless statements.... it’s brutal.

I listen to Bobby & Deke on a podcast the day after - ZERO commercials and you can fast forward.

Re: There is a Petition to Remove Bobby Hebert off Saints Radio
 
Bobby's comment was ridiculous and probably prompted some of these idiots on social media threatening #43. He needs to apologize to Marcus Williams and stop saying the play was "shady."

Re: There is a Petition to Remove Bobby Hebert off Saints Radio
 
I think Deuce does an excellent job and his expertise works well for Saints radio. He nearly always gets the penalty calls right for both teams, way before the ref calls it. Plus he was a great player for our Saints team and is a good ambassador as well.

GEAUX SAINTS!

Bobby is Bobby, not a pretentious bone in his body.

Bobby and Deke are both twats. Between the never ending commercials, Bobby's gibberish and Deke's pompous attitude, I don't bother listening to them anymore.

Re: There is a Petition to Remove Bobby Hebert off Saints Radio
 
Bobby and deke act like if you dont agree with them then you dont know nothing football. And how they talked about williams was appalling saying he threw the game and then when a caller said they need to get rid of him then they said oh no we need him he's special. Bobby talks out of both sides of his mouth he's a walking contradiction. Just cause you played football bobby dont mean you know everything you weren't that good lets be real.

You nailed that. You should hear Houston sports talk. They sound like 12 year old boys. Stats, Stats, fantasy, imaginary trades, & more stats. If you take out the football terms, you could replace their talk with hobbits and fairys. They bore me to death, and have no passion. No one will ever say that about Bobby Hebert.

I like how when Bobby talks, you know where you are. Its part of the craziness that is NOLA. And lets be real, guys. We all canonized Buddy D a few years back, but the truth is, a lot of fans hated him. He was harsh. Bobby's rude to callers? Did you forget what Buddy D called fans who annoyed him on the phone? Anybody? Bueller?

I thought his political comments about Trump were inappropriate, and over the top and I think he's full of sh**. But then, I remembered who we're talking about. Half of my best friends are full of sh**. And they think I"m full of sh**. Of course, he's over the top. Its great radio.

For the record, I saw Bobby play in person. Those of you old enough to know who Dave Wilson is, remember screaming for them to put Bobby in instead, and also how excited we were, when the USFL folded, and he announced that he wanted to be a Saint. Bobby was actually a very underrated QB, especially when he became more seasoned, and developed more touch & pocket presence. Grab a YouTube of an old game, and listen to what national announcers, most of whom didnt know him before being assigned to a Saints game- listen to what they say about him. The Saints were always in it, when he was our QB. He also is a big fan of the team, and lives & dies with them, just like we do.

I think you have something special in New Orleans, as always, dating back to Hap, and Buddy D. Hebert & Deke are, at times, unpolished, unprofessional, and thats exactly what I Like about them. They're a big part of what I like about the game day experience. Count me as a fan.

IIRC the correct answer to that question is squirrels.

Oh he was going on and on and completely slamming a caller the other day who brought up the idea of Williams play being shady. He acted like he never heard of such a thing. Way to backpedal Bobby. Take your boneheaded foot in the mouth comment out on a fan who just parrots what you said in the first place.

Their radio show is ridiculous.

It's literally an hour of poorly written commercials sparsely interrupted by Deke and Bobby misunderstanding callers, and worse, not even TRYING to understand other points of view.

That being said, I don't see a reason for a petition. Stop listening and trust me, the revenues will dictate what the station needs to do.
