Re: I didn't know about this
Yet part of the dubious history of the Saints. Aren't we glad ours aren't the Saints of old?

Re: I didn't know about this
There was a point there in my life where I told my dad the Saints would never win a Super Bowl. About 10 years later I told him after week 6 of the 2009 season “They were the best team in football...doesn’t mean i’m predicting a SB”. Seems a long time ago! Hope the success continues.

Re: I didn't know about this
I've talked to people who believe that the original owner of the Saints didn't actually want to win. These are guys older than me, I'm 54, who remember this time too well.
Maybe they believe that because he did things like hire an astronaut as the GM instead of someone with a football background. |
