THEY PLAYED FOR THE SAINTS NO MORE NO LESS.
We are still viewed as one of the odd ball teams in the NFL. If that grouped played else where they would have been mentioned for the hall already. Do not get your hopes up, the hall is the heaven of the sports writers and they have little respect for the city much less the team.

They love and respect our city and our different cultures, that's why they love to cover major sporting events in New Orleans. it's not the city that they don't respect but the team and it's losing tradition. Mora brought a winning attitude around here for a while and for a while the NFL took notice, from the late 80's through the early 90's we were dominating on defense and well respected through the league. Then came the DARK AGES, the Ditka years, he single handedly destroyed our team, Ditka made us a laughing stock, the joke of the entire league, any respect that was gain was miserably lost. Coach Has, who I think gets a bum rap, again brought us to the brink of respectability. Under Haslett we kind of stayed idle for a while, always right there but not able to get over that one or two game hump, then the hurricane destroyed any hope of anything positive in 2005. Now here we sit atop of our division with an appearance in the NFC Championship game, and the league's #1 offense. 2007 is going to go a long way in determining if we are going to be respected or just looked upon as the darlings of 2006 and that's it. That's why this upcoming, and future seasons is so crucial, maybe when we win that elusive Superbowl maybe, just maybe that light of respect will shine bright enough to include our warriors of the past.

Wait a minute dude. Carl Smith loving destroyed the saints not Ditka.
At the end of Moras coaching time here he was faced with a choice keep the defensive coaches intact or keep Carl Smith OC. The media and the fans were all over him because the offense was the weak link of the team and play calling was being hammered by all of us. Carlonia gets the expantion and the rest is history. The defensive coaching staff went on to create a winning orginazation. While here in NO Mora and the Brain trust Pooh-Poohed all over us by gutting the defense. Mora went done in flames arm in arm with his man love. We the fans hard to go on the honey Moon from hell with them. Then came Dicka and his playing with himself and the team. ever wonder why he was shown from the waiste up? He was always playing with his dicka. On running joke form my time in Minni. Fans would stand when he came onto the field and grab their dickas' as a salute to him.
Back to the topic.
Do not put Mora a pedestal. He gets a soap box.
Dicka just needed some private time with himself.
