So many reasons to watch this game: 1-One of the greatest "Sports Matter" games ever. 2-Beginning of the Drew Brees/Sean Payton dynamic duo. 3-Horrible announcing duo of Joe Theismann and Tony Kornheiser. At one point Theismann responds to Kornheiser's analysis with "really??" followed by long awkward silence. 4-Steve Gleason's career-defining moment. Maybe loudest roar I've ever heard at an NFL game. 5-Mike Vick's last year with the Falcons before going to jail. Cultural icon who decided killing dogs was more important than earning & inspiring millions. Falcons were a perennial contender with SB aspirations that year. 6-Spike Lee talking politics and Isiah 'The Savior' Thomas. Back when Bush was considered an evil President. By today's standards he'd be considered a saint. 7-Reggie Bush's home debut. 8-Read-Option actually existing in the NFL.

It’s so strange and nostalgic to see the offensive dominance era of the Saints begin here. If Drew only knew how many records he was going to shatter. If only they knew in 4 short years they would be hoisting the Lombardi. Even though, I wish we had beaten Chicago that year and won it all. Would have been beautiful to have both championships by beating the colts and Peyton Manning.

Thats easy for broadcasters when its a play that has a likelyhood of that result, but a block punt is no such play.. truly amazing job on their part.
