Yesterday's Saints game reminded me of some players and coaches whose gaffe or rant is more famous then their accomplishments.

Jim Mora "Playoffs" rant
Jackie Smith dropping the touchdown pass for the Cowboys

Any others come to mind?

"I'm a man, I'm 40"

But about 43, he could have a hall of fame career and it still wouldn't overshadow what happened yesterday

I am a big fan of Jackie Smith. But when his name comes up, the drop is the first thought, not his excellent career.

Then apparently you are not that big of a fan of his.

I mean I guess knowing he went to Northwestern St is a big fan, huh?

Your average sports fan will think "dropped pass."

Someone who lives close to Natchitoches or who is an NW State alum probably won't - but that is not your typical fan.

Smith himself knows it:

"“It was always fresh on people’s minds. I had to contend with it daily,” he says. “I was very depressed, not feeling very good, not wanting to talk to people. I was laboring trying to put it into perspective.”"
