Jerry is perhaps best known in New Orleans as the \'voice\' of the city\'s beloved New
Orleans Saints, serving as the team\'s stadium public address announcer for the past 39
seasons. He has never missed a home game at the PA microphone over that span – which
includes all the games he drove to when the team moved its home games to San Antonio
and Baton Rouge after Hurricane Katrina hit.
