Re: Jim Henderson announces retirement

To be honest I haven't heard him in anything other than select replays on radio. Ever since we got Sunday Ticket many years ago when it first came out I have never had a reason to listen to a game.

There have been plenty of times that I was on the road and was glad to hear Jim keeping me up with what was happening on the field.

Re: Jim Henderson announces retirement

It was different for me, as most folks would turn the volume down and listen while watching. Not me. As I've mentioned here before I have been listening to Jim since my childhood, as we rarely get to watch the noon games, traveling home on Sundays from deer camp. Sleeping in the back seat of my dad's Bronco, praying to God he didn't have a massive heart attack listening to the Saints find ways to lose. I can remember as far back as the early 80s (and maybe even late 70s), that was how we got our Saints games.

Won't be the same without you, Jim. You will be missed dearly.

Not everyone gets to be home every Sunday. I always found his voice a little over bearing when he'd get excited, but I appreciated his enthusiasm. Many radio voices are dry and detached. As an LSU fan, ever since Jim Hawthorne retired, it just hasn't been the same. The new guy seems nice, and he is professional. But it's very obvious that he's not from around here, as his enthusiasm is either forced, or sometimes not even there.

Agreed.

There is another guy I miss on the air waves. His delivery was spot on & he was a terrific on air personality. I can only imagine the sports stories he's shared with his grand kids.

Side note & true story ... Mr. Henderson stayed (pre flood of 2016) a block away from my mom in Park Forest Subdivision/Baton Rouge. Great broadcaster and also a cool neighbor .

That's pretty cool, man. He does seem like he'd be a nice guy. Hopefully he enjoys his retirement.
