Gleason number retired
Have a ceremony for him, give him some money, honor him in other ways, but having your number retired should be an exceedinly rare event for a team and it shold be reserved for those who earned that distinction on the field over the course of a career.
Heck, when I see #37 in Black and Gold I still think of Tommy Myers, arguably the best safety to ever play for the Saints.

Is ALS not a rare enough event for you? He was also involved in one of the most iconic plays in Saints history.

Not all the names hanging from the rafters played for the Saints, much less a sport. Gleason wouldn't be going up there for his statistics as a Saint, he'd be going up there as a person.

I mean really?!?
I understand your reasoning but come on man, I can't tell if you take the retiring of jerseys too seriously or not serious enough.
frick, I would be cool with renaming the Superdome the Gleason Arena.

I don't think his number should be retired but since he got ALS he's a folk hero- and they want to acknowledge that. Before that nobody really gave a frick.

Huge sign of respect by the organization and I am in full favor of it. There are going to be some crying grown arse men on Sunday.
I don't feel it takes away from those retired with accomplishment at all; this is a Saint that deserves to be remembered, and he will pass knowing that he will be.

L.A. is right.
Do something like hang his name. Hang his jersey.
Retirement is not the proper call.
