Former New Orleans Saints tackle Zach Strief says he has called over 100 practice games in an effort to get himself into radio shape in his quest to become the Saints' play-by-play radio voice for WWL-AM and Entercom Communications.
A report from the Advocate says Strief has been offered the job, which shouldn't come as a surprise to many.
Strief, who retired in March after 12 seasons with the team, has done his best to get acclimated to calling games. He even went back to his alma mater, Northwestern, looking for resources in order to prepare.
"Obviously it's a difficult job," Strief said earlier this week.
