Beerman is a class act! (1 Viewer)

[ndcc]

Article posted at nos.com gave him the standard interview.

His last paragraph makes me think of how great it is to have him on the active roster.

Most beloved Saint probably ever. I love a good underdog/rags to riches type story and he brings it everytime. And, oh yeah, he's been a heluva player, too! And I love that his favorite movie is Jerry Maguire.

Beerman is right behind Deuce on my favorite Saints list.

 

[Optimusaint]

i had tears in my eyes when he came out of the tunnel. ive become such a crybaby when it comes to the saints. thank goodness this helmet covers my eyes

 

[peglegpeet13]

Don't feel bad Optimus, I have been one big crybaby this season. I shed one when Mike came out of the tunnel.

 

[Brennan77]

You get the feeling that this man will when a very important game for us this year.

Michael Lewis is one of my favorite Saints of all time, top 3. Love that guy.

I wouldn't go as far as saying the "most beloved". Archie, Hokie, Ricky Jackson, Eric Martin, Sam Mills, Big Jim Dombrowski, Pat Swilling, Willie Roaf, Deuce, Joe Horn...the list of beloved is long.

But yes...he's the ultimate underdog on the ultimate underdog team.

 

[Madmarsha]

Well, I guess I really meant as underdog because he is and always will be, I think, loved in a different way and for different reasons than those other guys. Not that he hasn't been a legitimate player, but he will be remembered in a more "Rudy! Rudy! Rudy!" than Archie is, IMO.

How can you not like Michael Lewis. In my mind he kinda represents us, the common man. How many of us sat around dreaming that we could play for the Saints, or any NFL team for that matter, but we didn't do anything about it. He actually made it happen by just trying out. To go from driving a beer truck to playing in the Pro Bowl. Its a true Hollywood type story.

I wouldn't be surprised if he takes one to the house against the Bucs.
