Re: Seven Years Ago Today
I spent time with Steve and his family this week and I can tell you that they are the very best people in the world. And whilst it is difficult not to feel sorry for him because of this, the most cruel way to take someone's life, I can tell you that he genuinely gets on with it each day and keeps fighting. Keeps living.
I wasn't at the game in 2006 but my subsequent love affair with the city of New Orleans was solidified in that one moment. When my hero became even bigger of a hero in the way he handles his ALS, I never thought that one day I would have the chance to also call him and his family my friends. Anybody need inspiration for a 4-0 on Monday night? I don't think we need much more! WHO DAT! |

I was there. In that end zone. 18 rows from the field. With my Dad and two best friends.
Not a dry eye in that section that I could see. Next to being in the French Quarter for the Superbowl win, that's my top sports moment. |

Re: Seven Years Ago Today
I have always said and stand by this statement, the Gleason block is the defining moment in Saints history. The super bowl was great, but without the block that changed the world, I dont know if there is a super bowl win in 2009.
Also, after watching the play again, I understand what Payton is talking about when he says the dome has never again been that loud. The dome was shaking. Who knows if that emotion will EVER be duplicated. I call BS on the Seahawks breaking the record for loudest fans during the SF game. I would like to see the measurement for this game. |

Undeniably a testament to the value of Special teams performance.

Re: Seven Years Ago Today
I loved it when Gleason punched the Panther play in the groin. I will never forget that. Good block too by the way.

Re: Seven Years Ago Today
The fact that Curtis Deloatch scored that TD says alot too. Alot of guys that nobody heard of before the season (Marques Colston, Terrance Copper, Jamal Jones) would score for the Saints over the course of that season, and were a part of that "shift". People may not have known all of their names, but that team fought and scratched their way all the way to the NFL's final 4 that season.
