47 years ago today, the first New Orleans Saint was signed

Well interesting back and forth thread, two things that were pretty clever.
That line about rose colored glasses was great! Thinking back I must have been wearing them the day I signed in as a Who Dat.
also-
Elisha Archibald "Archie" Manning III aka "The Glimmer Man"
Archie was sacked 340 times during his Saints career.
He must have had a great sense of humor as well.
Loved what he said about Jack Youngblood
"I've got to say that Youngblood was nice enough to pick me up every time he knocked my (butt) off." Today, Manning jokes that Youngblood's career would not have been as successful without him. He even suggested that Youngblood should have let him be his presenter when he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2001, saying, "He wouldn’t have gotten in without having me to sack."
