I'm pretty sure I spot Mark Simoneau in between Brees, Will Smith, and Fujita.

According to Channel 6 News' Fletcher Mackel, Scott Fujita was one of the major players in making last night's ring ceremony happen for Gleason...

FletcherMackel 7 hours 55 mins ago Twitter unreal night, steve gleason gets SB44 ring, @scottfujita99 did amazing job making this happen


Also, Fujita has this quote from Gleason on his Twitter:

quote:

"It's not about the blocked punt or the ring, it's about what you're gonna do when you walk out of this room." - @Team_Gleason

He was one of my favorite players, as a saint! And is also showing how strong of a person he is. I wish him all the best and good luck in his battle with ALS. All of our prayers are with you Gleason!

I know Fujita had to take care of his family, but man, I wish he was still in Black and Gold. We should have matched whatever he got from the Browns.

Great guy, but I agreed with not bringing him back. Wanted to much, and he got it somewhere else. Good for him. I'm still a fan.

yeah, we recognized the beerman instantly. The question was if the guy on Beerman's right is Curtis Deloach or Mel Mitchell.

I think this is the only the second person who was not in the organization during the super bowl year to get a ring. The other is Joe Impastato.

I'm going with Mitchell, as per this NOLA.com article: LINK


quote:

The surprise event organized by the Saints, former Saints linebacker Scott Fujita and Gleason's wife, Michel, attracted 17 former or current Saints players. Among them: Fujita; Brees; Deuce McAllister; Will Smith; Jon Stinchcomb; Mike McKenzie; Thomas Morstead; Scott Shanle; Michael Lewis; John Carney; Mark Simoneau; Fred Thomas; Chris Reis; Fred McAfee; Mel Mitchell; Nate Lawrie; and Shad Meier

I thought it was Mel Mitchell, but you never know if a guy wants to add some facial weight and look completely different.

Really good to see these guys support Gleason, though.

I just read that 90% of people with ALS die within 6 years. That blows, good luck to the dude.

And not to mention this guy doesn't even believe in God!

Steve Gleason will beat it because he is a "SAINT"!
