[Merged] R.I.P. Tom Dempsey
My wife and I met him at the Saints Hall of Fame in 2011. He told us how back then the players didn't make much money and most players had other jobs besides football. He told us every day after practice he would bring a case of Dixie Beer in the trunk of his car and they would sit in the parking lot and drink the entire case of beer. He was indeed a wonderful soul and we have truly lost a legend. RIP Mr. Dempsey.
