Obviously a big moment in Saints history, return to the dome, got a 3 and out on the great Michael Vick, and boom. Dome exploded. We even had a statue made of it.

Are Atlanta fans sick of it, or can at least acknowledge how significant of a sports event that was? As a Saints fan, if I never see Lynch's run in '10 or the Minnesota Miracle again, it will be too soon.



As a side note, for everyone else, what's a sports play that either happened against your play or just in general that you are tired of seeing replays of?

Gotta be honest. I really don’t see replays a ton of this play you keep mentioning.
Play I am tired of, OBJ catch. That thing is played way too much

I'd say it gets played almost every time the Saints and Falcons play, at least when they play in nola.

Pujols taking Brad Lidge over the train tracks.

Although it's not as bad knowing the Astros took the series in the end.

On a national level it probably doesn’t register with a ton of fans. But for saints fans it’s become a symbol of the resurgence post Katrina and my personal favorite moment in the superdome.

Falcons fans probably see a good bit of it, especially when the two teams play. I imagine many of them are indifferent to it.

The Fisk homer in the Game 6 of the '75 World Series is overrated. They didn't even win the series.

Yep. Cards fan here, and I love seeing it, but knowing they lost the series the next game, I take solace that the Astros didn't get to win the pennant in front of their fans.

I haven't actually thought about it since the highlights were shown the weekend of the game. It's not even an afterthought really.

My falcons fan BIL from ATL hates Gleason to this day. It’s sad and funny.

As a cowboys fan, Dwight Clark’s stupid catch. Enough already.

And anytime the Saints host a Monday Night Football game. It's like ESPNs go-to intro for them.

I sure as shite get sick of ‘Beast Mode’ Lynch running over what seemed like every Saints started in history.

He’ll, I think he stiff-armed Dave Waymer on that play.

I’m pretty sure I’ve never talked about it with any other Falcons fans or Saints fans (outside of TD)

I wouldn’t think the Gleason block was nearly as important to Falcons as it was for the Saints. It was just another game.

Falcons have the most memorable and most unforgettable negative memory in NFL history though.
