Re: Kenny Wilkerson departs WWL radio's sports team
 

I'll miss Kenny on WWL - he was by far the most articulate and had the best voice of the bunch (it must be some kind of prerequisite for their sports analysts to have some sort of speech impediment), and he had some good stories, especially about Buddy D. But I always thought he was way too soft on the Saints and gushed over players who weren't exactly in top gear out there - he probably got way too close to the players he was supposed to be objectively reporting on.

Since he's been out often lately, I'm finding that I'm changing the station from Sports Talk, mainly because they keep shoving Deke Bellavia at me and they can't tone down Bobby Hebert. Don't get me wrong, I was a big fan of Bobby when he played, but his "Yes, yes, yes, no, no, no" is not giving me much sports commentary expertise. And for some reason, the station finds more and more air-time for the Big Chief, but his commentary is terrible and his interview tactics are brutal (he pounces on callers who have different opinions), and that voice is made for K-Mart intercoms, not the Sports giant, WWL.

Oh, Buddy D . . . where did they go wrong?
