Bobby Hebert | November 11, 2020

From November 11, 2020: On the tenth episode of “Great Dane Nation,” Morten is joined by New Orleans Saints legend Bobby Hebert. But first, he checks in with TommyFreezePops (Tom Carroll), where Tom has one simple question for Morten – Which is the better nickname, “Cajun Cannon” or “The Great Dane?” We then move to our interview with Bobby, where he discusses a wide array of topics: the passing of his father, Bobby Hebert Sr., and the incredible legacy he is leaving behind; LSU head coach Ed Orgeron talking with his dad while he was in the hospital battling COVID-19; his son, T-Bob Hebert, choosing to play at LSU, and what Bobby Hebert Sr. thought about T-Bob’s college recruitment process; playing his college ball at Northwestern State, and why attending a small school helped prepare him for the pro level in ways that bigger programs wouldn’t have been able to at the time; why he was the first college football player ever to wear a flak jacket; the series of events that led to him joining the USFL instead of the NFL; why he would have never achieved the success he did in the NFL if it weren’t for his time in the USFL ; why he went from signing with the Seattle Seahawks to a record-breaking signing bonus with his hometown New Orleans Saints; the special experience of playing quarterback for the team he grew up rooting for; why the talented Saints teams of the late ‘80s and early ‘90s were never able to get over the hump and make it to a Super Bowl; why the demise of Drew Brees has been greatly exaggerated; the origin of his amazing nickname, “Cajun Cannon;" his thoughts on Taysom Hill, and why he doesn’t think he’ll be the next full-time quarterback for the Saints; what’s actually going on with Michael Thomas; why this year is “Super Bowl or bust” for the Saints, and all of the wasted opportunities the team has had with Brees at the helm; what went wrong with Dan Quinn as head coach of the Atlanta Falcons; why Bobby thinks Sean Payton would embrace the idea of bringing Matt Ryan in as the next quarterback of the Saints; why Raheem Morris won’t be the next head coach of the Falcons after this season; and his career in radio, and why he loves working at WWL Radio in New Orleans. Then, TommyFreezePops is joined by Paul Bovi for his weekly check-in with the experts from VegasInsider.com. Are the Saints legit threats to make it back to the Super Bowl for the first time since 2009? Paul explains why he thinks so. Plus, the guys discuss the Steelers bid for 9-0 against the Bengals, a battle between the struggling Patriots and the defending NFL MVP in Lamar Jackson, and the rookie showdown of the year between Justin Herbert and Tua Tagovailoa. Finally, we close things out with Morten’s “Game Winner” – a weekly segment where Morten monologues his biggest takeaway of the week. This week, he dares his listeners to sit down with Bobby Hebert.
