Saints playoff hero pens inspiring letter to New Orleans on 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina
 

"In 2011, I was diagnosed with a hurricane of a disease – ALS. Terminal. Death, two to five years. Like this city’s levees in 2005 my invincible body has failed me. But like the residents of a city built two feet below sea level, I choose to be an idealist. We simply must be steadfast, maniacal idealists."

If only he could get as much recognition as Kaitlin.

Can't watch the video because I'll cry my eyes out. My stupid male ego just won't let me.

God Bless Steve Gleason.

I guess I'll be that guy that asks why they're calling him the "Saints playoff hero."

Riding high from their two-straight road wins, the Saints returned home to the Louisiana Superdome for the first time since December 26, 2004 for a special Monday Night game against their fellow NFC South division rival, the Atlanta Falcons, in front of a sell-out crowd of 70,003 and ESPN's largest-ever audience, with about 10.8 million households viewing. On just the fourth overall play of the game, Safety Steve Gleason blocked a punt and DB Curtis Deloatch managed to land on the ball in the end zone for the Saints first score of the game.

Led by a new coach, Sean Payton, and a new quarterback, Drew Brees, the Saints enjoyed their most successful season up to that time, reaching the NFC Championship Game for the first time in franchise history.

I remember what happened RailBoss... But how does that make him a "playoff hero?" Poorly titled.
