Joe Horn Says Thanks - Buys Jersey

11-05-2018, 07:41 AM

NEW ORLEANS -- Joe Horn said he was watching Sunday's game when New Orleans Saints receiver Michael Thomas channeled the most memorable moment of Horn's career: pulling a cellphone from the bottom of the goalpost to celebrate a touchdown against the Los Angeles Rams.

When asked for his reaction, Horn responded with a Muhammad Ali quote.

"He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life," Horn said. "That's what I want to say."

Horn and Thomas don't know each other well. Horn said Thomas didn't tell him the celebration was coming. But he said it "absolutely" meant a lot to him, and he called Thomas "my hero."

Horn said he texted Thomas and "thanked him for doing what most athletes in his position would never do."

Horn said he also let Thomas know that he ordered his No. 13 jersey to wear when he comes to any Saints events -- "hopefully the Super Bowl."

I don't think Ali's quote about taking a courageous risk would apply to a meaningless dumb prank that doesn't have a chance to advance your cause but gives a guaranteed advantage to your opponent. That would fall under the Stupid category.
