There’s something special about finding your passion in life. Voice of the New Orleans Saints Zach Strief announced Feb. 19 he’s leaving the WWL broadcast booth to become the Saints’ assistant offensive line coach, following his passion and returning to the game he loves.
Today’s episode of Black and Gold Rush is all about passion. Tampa Bay sports reporter Karen Loftus joins the show to discuss her career, which included a 3-year stop in New Orleans, covering the Bucs’ run to the Super Bowl, and the state of the NFC South.
After Tampa Bay dominated Super Bowl LV, the NFC South may no longer be the Saints’ division to lose. A lot will depend on the offseason and NFL Draft, but one thing is certain – Tom Brady is coming back.
