Gleason number retired
This is a bad move IMO.
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.

The reasoning is pretty stupid too if you know anything about the Saints. They have 2 retired numbers, Jim Taylor and Doug Atkins. Taylor played here for 1 yr and Atkins 3 yrs or so. Taylor had like 300 yards and 2 TDs all year that year.
I don't see the difference between honoring someone for a great career on the field (even though they spent little to no time w the team) and honoring someone who has had an impact on the field as well as off the field. I mean, we have banners in the Dome for Jim Finks and Dave Dixon. Gleason's been a great ambassador for the team and the city of NO.
I have zero issues with this.

The problem with retiring lots of numbers is that you run out of numbers.
