    Headline news titled "Former NFL QB booted from LSU-'Bama press box for cheering"

    by Paul Myerberg, USA TODAY Sports
    Published: 11/04/2012 12:11am
    There's no cheering in the press box. Yes,
    that includes you, Bobby Hebert.
    Hebert, the former NFL quarterback turned
    current Louisiana radio talk-show host, was
    escorted from the press box at LSU's Death
    Valley for excessive cheering, reported
    Yahoo! Sports' Pat Forde .
    "Hebert was warned repeatedly about
    violating working press box decorum and
    cheering for the Tigers," Forde wrote. "Finally,
    LSU associate athletic director Herb Vincent
    informed Hebert that he had to leave the
    press box, and a uniformed police officer
    escorted him out."
    ...
    This wasn't Hebert's first blatant show of
    unprofessionalism in connection with the LSU
    program.

    He will fall back on the same excuse he made after the BCS press conference:"I'm not really a journalist." Fine; get out of the pressbox, then.

    yesterday before the game, The New York Times did a long piece on the Lovable Lunatic from Louisiana

    About his meltdown after Les didn't let his young son play in the Super Amateur Football Championship Game:


    When Coach
    Miles entered, Hebert raised his hand.
    He says he did not worry how it looked,
    how his son, T-Bob, an offensive
    lineman for L.S.U., did not play in that
    game and how Hebert then directed a
    pointed, long-winded salvo at Miles
    about the quarterback situation that was
    more statement than question.
    "He's looking at me like I'm crazy,"
    Hebert said. "Like, why is a parent of
    one of my players asking me about that?
    But I'm an unusual parent."
    ...
    At the notion that WWL might fire him,
    Hebert scoffed: "Why would I worry
    about getting fired? I don't have any
    bills. I don't owe nobody nothing."
    If anything, the incident upped his street
    cred. He went on television the next day
    and said he had forgotten more football
    than Miles ever knew.
    ...
    "His rant to Les was classic Hebert,"
    Detillier said.
    Even now, Hebert expresses no regrets.
    He says fans should respect Miles more,
    for the win percentage, for the national
    title, but he also says some still see Miles
    as a "carpetbagger," an outsider from the
    North.

    ...

    His co-host, Deke Bellavia, says Hebert
    represents Louisiana, right down to the
    way he talks, an accent so Cajun
    teammates sometimes wondered which
    foreign country he came from. "When he
    got here in '05," Bellavia says, "people
    may have turned off the road in shock at
    what he said. Now, they keep driving."

    ...

    He once caught a 240-pound blue
    marlin. He once killed a wild boar with
    a bow and arrow. One of his ancestors
    owned 12 sheep. He loves the book
    "Guns, Germs, and Steel" by Jared
    Diamond.
    Napoleon is his favorite historical figure
    for the way "he emerged from that
    power vacuum and made himself an
    emperor." Ramona, from the New York
    season, is his favorite real housewife
    because of her "crazy eyes." Ricky
    Jackson is his favorite Saint. Led
    Zeppelin is "the greatest band ever, it's
    not even close."

    ...
    Hebert's wife approaches. He sees her,
    yet launches into one more story, one
    more rant about the Saints. He can go on
    like this forever, about Les and the
    dress, about bounties and pirates and
    housewives.
    He stands up, this man who defines
    Louisiana football and, to a larger
    extent, football in the South. He starts
    toward the door.

    To be fair no one else in that press box should try to pass themselves off as Journalists either. LSU gets Bobby and Alabama gets Birmingham and officials.
