Bobby Hebert said he hopes Eli Apple goes to IR
FWIW, I like the concept of Bobby- local dude, down the road to a fault, unique among the NFL radio broadcasters. But... the reality of Bobby is quite another thing- (too)drunk, simple, repetitive and absolutely not objective. He makes the uber fans from Dulac that share my row in the Dome sound like William F. Buckley.
And much of this could be forgiven if he offered any, absolutely any, insight that wasn't widely available elsewhere. The pregame show is even worse now that he prepares a little scripted introduction, rattling of some number salad of stats while demonstrating the reading aloud skills of a 3rd grader.
As the Saints have earned unprecedented success after success, Bobby has become more and more out of control. I miss the old, somewhat humble Bobby that was off the cuff but seemed to understand the editorial limitations of his job. The absolute best part of the broadcast now is the lead in, where Bobby is (pitifully) introduced as having led the Saints to their first playoff appearance, and then interjects with the epistemologically inarguable "I know what I know". Ok Bobby.
