You’re right about there not being any suspense to watching old games. I was born in 1985 and due to my dad being in the Navy I moved around every two or three years and didn’t settle down in the Gulf Coast until 1997. I really became a Saints around 2002 or 03 and the Kyle Turley helmet tossing incident so there’s so many classic Saints teams that I need to catch up on. I’m a defensive minded guy and I’m simply salivating over the late 80’s/early 90’s games.

Just avoid 1980-81. LOL! My dad was stationed in NC and then Arkansas during the late 70's and early 80's. Fortunately that when I was working for the newspaper and ACC Magazine so I had some access to "the wire service" so I could keep up with the Saints even though I couldn't see or hear many games.

Find any Saints game from about 1983 to early 90s. The Dome Patrol started with Bum Phillips. He drafted Rickey Jackson, and was already among the most respected defensive minds in Football. You know his son, Wade. Wade's still using his dad's strategies and techniques, and is still a highly sought-after DC. The fandom really got fun, right after Bum took the bags off people's heads, bringing the team nearly overnight respect, and sugar plum visions for the fanbase and for New Orleans. We didnt get any rings, still, for a long while, but there were many victories, and completely electrifying moments, which would, if you watched them now, bring you to your feet. I'll start you out with this amazing contest. Jimmy the Greek, (also a victim of the "racism" WitchHunt) didnt give the Saints a chance.
