Unless you live in New Orleans..

I am working in Minnesota for a few weeks and a local sports radio show today said the Saints are the only team that could go into Lambeau and beat the Packers!!

They pointed out that the Saints were the only team to be close to beating the Packers at the end of their game.

Any way you carve it New Orleans is a small market. NYC is well - as big as it gets.

It is natural that's the way it plays out on terrestrial radio outside the red neck riviera.

But I am impressed with Sirius radio. They do a very good job at spreading the topics. (though even they too will favor the larger market teams)

What do they call it... oh yea... capitalism.

Every time I hear him, I just think of the Rome - Everett interview, then I'm happy!

He is pretty obnoxious. Everett stopped too soon. He should have punched him. Sportstalk guys should see what an injury
feels like.

That never gets old! Was my first exposure to Jim Rome. I know a lot of people don't like him much, but I love the guy, wish we got his radio show in La.
