Will never forget the day.
My rookie year, standing on the sideline of the Superdome and Steve Gleason walked out. 5 years after the blocked punt, just recently having announced his ALS diagnosis.
He raised his fist in the air, dropped it down and every voice in the entire city of New Orleans hit the Who Dat chant. Loudest I had ever heard a stadium in my young career.
Immediate goosebumps.
You could tell what it felt like when an entire city united as one beating heart. For something so much bigger than football.
Truly incredible. Saints fans are a special crew.
Haven’t said much because it’s not the circumstances you’d hope it would happen under, but I’m incredibly excited about this opportunity and look forward to working with a legendary team in Jim Nantz, Tracy Wolfson, Jim Rikhoff and the entire CBS lead crew.
See you in Minnesota!
The woman in the photo grew up literally down the road, won 4 Utah state championships (1 in this exact stadium), Gatorade Player of the Year twice, National Player of the Year, scored the fastest first goal in USWNT history…
Could probably be worth a mention, but idk.
