An Unbreakable Bond: For the Saints and their fans, it’s about more than football

Yep.. You had to live through those 20+ years where we DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A WINNING RECORD to really appreciate even where we are now... not to mention where SP and DB brought us.. In a way I am glad to have lived through those early years... The love I had for this team began when the TP headline read N.O. GOES PRO... And when John Gilliam ran back the opening kick-off... And when Archie scored (did he?) in his first game... and when Tom Dempsey kicked the longest FG at that time..... We didn't care if we kept losing.... Today... and I understand to a degree... if we don't win 14 games the younger fan base is ready to shut it down and start over... But that unconditional love for a football team is something the "youngens" won't ever really get
Exactly. Archie and Danny were my heroes. You can’t replace those days. I was 8 and knew every players name and number. And Al Hirt was my neighbor.
