He was fricking 26 years old when he bought the franchise- or when his dad bought it for him as a present. Pretty crazy to imagine now.
Nice story on him today
“I was younger than a lot of my players,” Mecom said. “I was probably too young to appreciate how much it meant then as opposed to how much I do now later in my life.
“I think the toughest thing was probably learning to live with the criticism of a few members of the press, knowing that we'd tried to do everything we could to have a winner. But it was hard. And it still is.”
Since selling the Saints to Benson in May of 1985, Mecom has attended only three games at the Superdome.
“But I've missed very few on television,” he said.
