Former Saints player Steve Gleason on life after the NFL (3 Viewers)

[whodat0921]

I will always remember Gleason for TWO plays..."the block" in the return to the dome, and the game against Carolina where an obviously frustrated Gleason was on his knees in front of a Panther; it appeared that words were exchanged; and Steve delivered a swift uppercut to the guy's hoo-haa and dropped him to the turf!

Not exactly a "clean" play, but it showed me that Steve Gleason took crap from NO ONE, and even in a seemingly beaten position, he still had that NEVER SAY DIE attitude. I LOVED that!

Thanks for leaving it ALL on the field Steve, the way the game should be played!

Where were you when we landed on the moon ?

Where were you when Buddy Holly died ?

Where were you when Steve Gleason blocked that punt ?

another moment in history eh ?

I remember going to a Saints game when I was younger (probably like 7 years ago i guess) and seeing steve gleason fly down the field on the opening kick off and just hammer the return man.

Gleason was awesome.

Man me 2! It is cool to know what he was thinking at the time. What a rush it must have been! Looking up and seeing all of us going crazy from something he did! Amazing!

Wow great read, anyone remember Gleason's ritual to get himself pumped up before kickoffs? pacing the sideline, smacking himself in the head. You could tell he was in the zone, the dude played w/ some heart!

You're old!

For me its:

Where were you when the Challenger exploded?

Where were you when Kurt Cobain killed himself?

Where were you when a black man was elected President?

I know exactly where I was for the blocked punt too.

HA LOL.. hey give me a break.. it was like first thing in the morning.. I wasn't awake yet.. I was lucky to put together the list I did

I can't watch that clip enough - brings tears to my eyes every time. And being there in the dome that night was absolutely amazing!

That video of him blocking is almost to much to watch. Makes my eyes water up and gives me chills. For good measure I flipped through some of the other clips to see Drew pumpin everyone up.
