Two Good Things About Saints Loss

L

LAcajun

1. No more Dave Cohn live from Chicago! Why that whiney voiced, egomaniac & not someone from their beloved, sports department. Was listening Sunday when Cohn was at Soldier Field, claiming it was snowing so hard, it would be a factor in the game. Two minutes later, I flip on FOX 8 with John Snell & Eric Clemmons live and not a flake. Why WWL continues to let this person continually report inaccurate information but then, they leave Mitchell on, too.

2. No more Ronnie Lamarque singing! His commercial was well produced and spent lots of money on it. Every break, on every special this past week on the Saints. Stick to reading the good book, brother Ronnie! And what is that dance? What's with grabbing the pants, trying to show his, as the wife puts it, "winky"? Runner-up, in a close second, A-1 Appliance's live remote on WDSU's Friday night show. Gray Alimia and son obviously need a script. WDSU was brave to give a client a live shot and isn't the phrase "Super Bowl" copywrited by the NFL? Can't use it in commercials without written consent? Oooops!

Some people just have to see themselves on TV...
 
yes, lamarque commercial had to go! nice touchy feely ad but he hasn't done anything in so long i don't even know how many dealerships he owns if any. yes, he supports the saints great, but does he sells automobiles???
been gone so long it's too late.
 
I haven't heard the commercial on WWL but if a client is mentioning the name "Superbowl" in his commercial, the advertiser and the station broadcasting the commercial are in copyright violation, specifically a Trade Name owned by the NFL, and which it has specified that nobody but the NFL can legally use that name for any purpose, and specifically in advertising.

If WWL is running such a spot, they must enjoy thumbing their noses at not only copyright violations, but also the lack of a major black voice in their sports department. By the way, WWL, did you see the stat on the Chicago game that the NFL is 75% black? Did you hear that two black head coaches are in the Superbowl for the first time? Yet your sports department is lily white. Maybe they figure they can do what they want because they are ENTERCOM!

Seems the NFL might have two major issues in the weeks ahead with their flagship station in New Orleans.
