A new Kicker

can anyone remember they argued putting an asterick on Tom Demseys record. Because of his handicap. it was news for awhile ,until it blew over or disallowed. its going to hold up and will be broken again and again. the mile high affect and the wind will blow one day for someone that will get a 70 or so yarder.

For a long time, the story behind the kick was Dempsey had a clubbed foot and had his shoe specially made for him.

Seems like any team we played had a comment about that record, especially the Cowgirls when they were good during the Landry years. When you successfully defended the record, all they would do is turn and laugh at you because your team never went to a playoff or had a single winning season or even sniffed a Superbowl. It was like ancient troll fest from their fans.

They were right. All that is in our rear view mirror. For me, as a long time fan, the Superbowl changed everything about the organization. The current regime of Sean Payton and Brees have shattered so many records that they eclipse the past.
