WHAT IS A TALENT YOU HAVE THAT FEW PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT: I am a pretty good carpenter. If I had more time and practice time I know I would be very good at it.
WHO IS YOUR ROLE MODEL? WHY: Warren Buffett. One of the richest men in the world, a superb businessman and investor, but he is also is a very generous philanthropist.
IF YOU HAD TO SPEND A YEAR ON A DESERTED ISLAND, WHAT ONE THING WOULD YOU TAKE ALONG: My iPad.
FIVE PEOPLE – PAST, PRESENT OR FUTURE – YOU’D INVITED TO DINNER: Jesus, Albert Einstein, Muhammad Ali, Paul McCartney, Oprah Winfrey.
YOU’RE A MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR LOTTO WINNER. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO: I would still do what I do sports wise, but I would form a movie production company to showcase the great array of talent from this state. And I would build a home with plenty more wall space to hang the art pieces I have and the sports memorabilia I have accumulated.
IF YOU WERE A SUPERHERO, WHO WOULD YOU BE AND WHAT WOULD YOUR SUPER POWER BE: Growing up I was such a fan of Captain America. I think like most people the power to change things that mortals can’t in real life is why we want to be like our superheroes.
SPORTS HERO GROWING UP: Pete Maravich. Greatest shooter of a basketball ever and way ahead of his time as a showman.
BEST ADVICE YOU’VE EVER BEEN GIVEN PROFESSIONALLY: My old pal Buddy Diliberto would always tell me to “never be afraid to be wrong.” Give a strong opinion, base it on facts and have a strong feel for what you say.
MOST EMOTIONAL MOMENT FOR YOUR SPORTS-WISE: Watching from the press box the New Orleans Saints win the NFC Championship game over the Minnesota Vikings.
DESCRIBE YOUR DREAM JOB: I think I’ve got it now in sports as a broadcaster.
TV GUILTY PLEASURE: Watching “Dancing with the Stars.”
BEST MOVIE YOU’VE EVER SEEN: “The Godfather,” but the best sports movie ever was “Hoosiers.”
TELL US SOMETHING ABOUT BOBBY HEBERT VERY FEW PEOPLE KNOW: Bobby is a history buff like I am. He reads everything about pirates of another era and how they took over countries and the high seas.
HOW DO YOUR FRIENDS DESCRIBE YOU: Funny, talkative, but I am a good listener, too, and passionate about what I do.
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR GRANDAUGHTER IS THINKING WHEN SHE LOOKS AT YOU: She is laughing and saying, ‘With the group around you, Pops, you are lucky to have lived this long.’
WHAT WAS YOUR BEST GIFT EVER AS A CHILD: My folks got me a pool table for Christmas as an early teen and everyone in the neighborhood played pool at my home. Yes, that was a great gift.
I WISH I WERE BETTER AT: Having more patience. I am impatient at the highest level.
ROCK BAND YOU’D HOP ON A PLANE RIGHT NOW TO SEE: Foo Fighters
