Saw Rickey at Piccadilly's this morning. LOL If I only had my Jackson jersey on.

My version of a Ricky Jackson breakfast was not that comforting.

(Ricky Jackson scowling over my plate)

Ricky: "You gonna eat that bacon?!"

Me : "Ummmm. Well....."

For us old fans it is nice to see post like these. Probably not too many readers in here have vivid memories of Ricky Jackson and the Dome Patrol. Ricky, Sam, Vaughn and Pat. They were the real deal and have their own wiki and NFL page to document their greatness.

"Like throwing popcorn at a battle ship, trying to run inside like that," former Chiefs head coach Hank Stram quips alongside Tim Brant from the CBS Sports booth. He's been barking for the Steelers to try something to the outside. And on third-and-goal, Stram gets his wish.

Fullback Frank Pollard leaks out into the flat as middle linebacker Sam Mills is uncharacteristically late to diagnose the play. With Steelers quarterback Mark Malone rolling to his right, Pollard is wide open. The go-ahead score seems imminent ... until Jackson blows past pulling guard Terry Long and bats Malone's pass harmlessly to the ground.

Fourth-and-goal. Fourth-and-game. Call it what you will -- at this point, there hasn't been a more important down and distance in Saints history.

The play call is a power toss to the left. Pollard sprints for the goal line, but right outside linebacker Pat Swilling sets the edge well enough to turn him upfield sooner than he'd like. Instead of running to daylight, Pollard is met by a 5-foot-9 brick wall better known as Samuel Davis Mills Jr.

Turnover on downs.

Great recall of, at the time, the most epic Saints moment in franchise history.

Got chills reading that.

Yup. As I did when posting it! It seems more could have been done to make their greatness more visible to current younger fans.
