Atop his bookshelf are many of the game balls he received throughout his career. He's proudest of a ball he received after the Saints beat Dallas.

This was way before my time but you gotta love a Saint that says that.

On a side note, the unofficial NFL record for a FG is 65 yards, Made by Swedish kicker Ola Kimrin in a preseason game between the Broncos and Seahawks in 2002. Gotta brag about the Swedes
