Robert Meachem leaves good times behind, takes great memories forward
Quote:
Meachem appreciates the fans in the stands. He has established a tradition of tossing the ball into the stands following a touchdown catch, regardless if it was at the Mercedes Benz Superdome or any other NFL venue. "I felt like it was my way of rewarding the fans for coming to the game," he said. "(Fans) work hard. It didn't matter whether it was at home or on the road." Noting that he shared some touchdown catches with family members and friends, he has only kept three footballs as personal souvenirs.
"I felt like I grew up here," he said emphatically. "The fans helped me grow up. They were always coming up to me with words of encouragement .. 'You're gonna make it'. You don't see that anywhere else. I want to tell the fans and the (Saints) organization thank you for helping me grow. Thank you for being honest. Thank you for always rooting for your team. It meant a lot."
If he could be granted one final wish it would be to have brought home more Super Bowls for the Who Dat Nation. "In my heart, we should have won Super Bowls not only in 2009, but in 2010 and 2011 as well."
A primary part of Meachem's life will always be here. His soon to be three-year old daughter was born in New Orleans. "It's all she knows. This will always be home."

Happy for Meach, sad to see him go but no hard feelings. We just have too many weapons down here and he was hardly ever 1st on Drew's progression. Norv Turner is a Power formation, play action based offense that takes 5 or 6 shots down field a game, so Meach will get some yards and big time catches and has an opportunity to atleast be a #2 receiver.
I wish him the best.
THANKS MEACH!

See, this is what Jabari Greer was talking about in his interview. Our team is full of good men. High character men like Meachem who work hard and stay out of trouble. It hurts to see such good guys being dragged through the mud because of this "bounty" fiasco.

My thoughts exactly.
We'll miss you, Meach.
