20 years ago today Buddy Diliberto passed away

I think most Saints fans today, if not most sports journalists would agree that Dilberto's personality and form of aggressive, confrontational sports journalism likely wouldn't fly today. Today, NFL and NCAAF HC's along with requisite teams and programs control the narrative and nature of press conferences far more then 45-50 years ago and if faced with assertive, pressing questions from beat reporters like Dilberto today, they'd probably ask or demand he can taken off the beat or allowed into pre-or-post game press conferences, otherwise we won't do them anymore.
He would have been on First Take or one of their clone shows.
