I know exactly where I was.In 2003 the saints had the biggest roller coaster sequence in the history of football that i can remember...river city relay.
You just did, but please add the details for those that haven't heard about it.Has anyone mentioned the cannon misfiring in the endzone and injuring the crew? That was surreal.
Of course Dick Shiner was sacked.Shiner was Pittsburgh QB that Doug Atkins sacked on his last play in Tulane Stadium.
In the late 60s/early 70s the Browns had a WR named Fair Hooker.It helped that Louisiana Senator Russell Long (Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee) and Louisiana Representative Hale Boggs (House Majority Whip) were on the job in D.C.
At that time the bill to merge the NFL and AFL was in congress. On its own, it would have to go through the Senate Judiciary Committee where it was unlikely to get out because it would have required an antitrust exemption which would have been opposed.
Hale Boggs came up with a plan and attached the merger bill to a tax bill heavily supported by LBJ. It included the antitrust exemption. Since it was primarily a tax bill, it would get routed to Long's Finance Committee, where he could steer it towards a vote.
Before the vote occurred, NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle told Boggs that he didn't know how to thank him for helping out the NFL-AFL merger. Boggs essentially told him New Orleans gets a franchise immediately. That's the deal. The bill passed and New Orleans got its franchise.
And what a helmet it was. It accompanied him into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
The Falcons were led that day by a journeyman QB named Dick Shiner.
I remember him. And since he was a junior, he was also the son of a Fair Hooker.In the late 60s/early 70s the Browns had a WR named Fair Hooker.
No...only after he was gone. Dick Nolan 1979 was first 8-8 season.Former Super Bowl 3 champion, Kansas City Chiefs coach Hank Stram became coach of the Saints. He coached the Saints to an even 8 & 8 season while Mecham was still the owner.
