Hi, RSII-

I've loved me some Lance Moore his whole life! It makes a mother proud that people finally know what I've known Lance's whole life -- that he is and always has been underrated. People assume because he's not the tallest guy on the field that he can't possibly be any good. They've obviously never seen the 41" vertical jump in person. Defenses everywhere have underestimated him forever. Not everybody has, though. One local news reporter in high school said the only way to guard Lance is to lock him on the team bus. I agree!

My favorite thing about Lance is that he's the same sweet, caring person now as he was when he was a little boy. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Lance has been making those acrobatic catches his whole career. At Toledo, Lance caught the game-winning TD, against a #9 rated Pitt, with 43 seconds in the game. It's known as "The Catch" at Toledo. For a lot of years after that, Larry Fitzgerald wouldn't shake Lance's hand because, as Larry put it, Lance ruined his season. Ha!

Anyway... I just wanted to say thanks for being a fan. It makes me happy when you good people appreciate Lance and his talent. I don't care what happens from here on out in Lance's career, because New Orleans will always be MY team. I live in Browns/Bengals territory and so it's great to have an awesome team to root for. (If anyone ever wonders why the Browns have sucked the last 7-8 years... It's because of me. They cut Lance on the last day of camp -- on his birthday, no less -- and so since then the hex has been on. I suppose I should get over it because they did Lance a huge favor. He would have never played for New Orleans, Sean, and with Drew, but still. A mother never forgets when her child is heartbroken. So the hex is still on!)

If you're interested, check out the BC Lions in the CFL and #17. Nick's a 6'2" version of Lance. He holds the receiving record in the Big House from when Toledo beat Michigan in 2008. Nick had 20 catches!

Have a wonderful weekend.
