Don’t remember the exact year, but it was the year that we played the Falcons and Dan Reeves had a heart attack on the sidelines.

Saints VS. St.Louis Cardinals. Tulane Stadium 1974. I was 8. We had relatives come in from Kentwood, LA to see Jackie Smith (HOF TE for Cardinals). Cardinals were a playoff team and we shut them out 14-0. I remember my dad harassing my relatives after the game "The Big Red is DEAD!" Jackie Smith ended his career as a Cowboy and dropped the pass in the end zone against the Steelers in the Superbowl. The family was upset he dropped the pass, but as a kid I remember I was happy because my hate for the Cowboys went that far back.

My mom went into labor during a Saints game. Hence why I was born at Hotel Dieu. Does that count?

Dolphins 2005. It was like a weird dream seeing Saban coaching the Dolphins beating the Saints in Tiiger Stadium

Los Angeles Rams, 1973.

John Hadl was their quarterback. As a small kid, he fascinated me because of the spelling of his name (buy a damn vowel!) and his number, 21, which was unusual for a QB.

Some game during the Ditka years when the Dome still used the pure astroturf, had no clue about the concept of football and all the nomenclature then and the Saints were bad so I dozed off pretty quick
