re: Where Are They Now?: Jake Delhomme

You need crazy guys like Kyle Turley

Not really...a fan came out of the stands in 1976 (I think that was the year), and kicked the shite out of Zeke Moore after he tried to gouge out Tinker Owens' eye.

I found this in the comments section:

1976 – Full scale riot between the Saints and the Oilers, resulting from a cheap shot by Zeke Moore on WR Tinker Owens. The two were walking side-by-side folling a play, when Moore inexplicably reached through Owen’s facemask and two-finger poked him in the eyes, a la Moe Howard. Owens hit the ground and started shaking, as if he was having a seizure. Extremely disturbing sight, for anyone old enough to remember it. Both benches emptied and the game was delayed nearly a half hour. When the dust finally settled, three players were ejected for the remainer of the game including Archie Manning, who was in street clothes at the time. As Moore was being escorted from the field, a camera man walked over and kicked him square in the hindquarters. The crowd exploded in laughter and applause.

I'll always hate Haslett for the way he did the Saints and Jake
