I didn't see the kick to win the NFC championship. Because I had my eyes closed. I only knew he made it by the crowd.

I was at the first game against the Rams but missed Gilliam's return. My dad and I went to the games and we NEVER caught the opening kickoff, my dad would sleep til the last minute and get to our seats 5 minutes after kickoff. BTW, kid's tickets at the time were $1 apiece if bought with an adult ticket. What a deal.

Gilliam's kickoff return
Dempsey's kick

Kind of cheating, but the 2 goal stands in the 4th quarter against the Steelers in '87 to lock up our first winning record. I wasn't around, but my parents tell me it was awesome.

Gilliam opening kick off return
Dempsey's kick
Manning's TD run on the last play to win his debut*

* Broke a 12-game Saints losing streak from the previous season. Opening day win at Tulane Stadium in 1971. Ended up costing the Rams the division title and a playoff berth.

Damn, that's tough. If it happened at a home game from 1968 - 1975, I was there.

The River City Relay against Jacksonvillle and then we miss the extra point.

The strip by Meachem against Washington.

And, that's all I can think of. Since I don't live in Louisiana, I don't get all of the Saints games.

1977 Elois Grooms catches a pass from a fake field goal for a TD in a win over the LA Rams. I was sitting in the stadium and did not see the catch. Sitting in the endzone of the terrace level and you could not see the back of the endzone.

I wasn't there in person, but right before Darren Sharper's pick 6 in the second half of the '09 Dolphins game I screamed, "DARREN SHARPER PICK 6 RIGHT HERE," in the middle of a crowded bar. I was promptly mobbed by everyone near me when my drunken prediction came true. Considering all that, it's one of my favorite plays from one of my favorite games I ever watched.
