    New Orleans Saints

    History
    Main article: History of the New Orleans Saints
    Early history
    The brainchild of local sports entrepreneur Dave Dixon, who also founded the Louisiana Superdome and the USFL, the Saints were actually secretly born in a backroom deal brought about by Congressman Hale Boggs, Senator Russell Long and NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle. The NFL needed congressional approval of the proposed AFL-NFL merger. Dixon and a local civic group had been seeking a NFL franchise for over 5 years, and had hosted record crowds to NFL exhibition games. To seal the merger, Rozelle arrived in New Orleans within a week, and announced on November 1, 1966 that the NFL officially had awarded the city of New Orleans an NFL franchise. Named for the great jazz song most identified with New Orleans When the Saints Go Marching In, the franchise was announced in a great coincidence on November 1st, which is the Catholic All Saints Day. Boggs Congressional committee in turn quickly approved the NFL merger. John W. Mecom, Jr., a young oilman from Houston, became the teams first majority stockholder. The teams colors, black and gold, symbolized both Mecoms and New Orleans strong ties to the oil (black gold) industry.[citation needed] Trumpeter Al Hirt was part owner of the team, and his rendition of When the Saints Go Marching In was made the official fight song.
    That first season started with a 94 yard opening kickoff return for a touchdown by John Gilliam, but the Saints lost that game 2713 to the Los Angeles Rams at Tulane Stadium. Their first season record was 311, which set an NFL record for most wins by an expansion team. However, they could not manage to finish as high as second in their division until 1979. That 1979 team and the 1983 team were the only ones to even finish at .500 until 1987.
    One of the franchises shining moments came on November 8, 1970, when Tom Dempsey kicked an NFL record-breaking 63-yard field goal to defeat the Detroit Lions by a score of 1917 in the final seconds of the game. This record, although equaled 29 years later by Jason Elam of the Denver Broncos, has yet to be broken.
    In 1980, the Saints lost their first 14 games, prompting local sportscaster Bernard Buddy D Diliberto to advise Saints supporters to wear paper bags over their heads at the teams home games; many bags rendered the clubs name as the Aints rather than the Saints. The practice of wearing a bag over ones head then spread rapidly, first to fans of other poorly performing teams within the NFL, and ultimately to those of other American team sports, and has become a firmly established custom throughout the United States.
    Mora era
    Current Saints owner Tom Benson acquired the franchise in 1985, and hired Jim Finks as general manager and Jim Mora as head coach. That combination provided the Saints with their first-ever winning record and playoff appearance, going 123 in 1987, which had one fewer game than normal due to a players strike. Another playoff berth would follow in 1990, and the clubs first division title came in 1991. During Moras tenure the Saints made the playoffs four times, with teams marked by strong defenses led by the Dome Patrol linebacking corps, but they were never able to win a playoff game. Mora coached the Saints until the middle of the 1996 season, when he stepped down halfway through a 313 season.
    Ditka era
    After the end of the 1996 season, ironically as Diliberto had suggested before Moras resignation, former Chicago Bears coach Mike Ditka was hired to replace Mora. Although this initially generated a lot of excitement among Saints fans, Ditkas tenure ended up being a failure. The Saints went 610 in their first two seasons under Ditka (1997 and 1998). During the 1999 NFL Draft, Ditka traded all of his picks for that season, as well as the first-round and third-round picks for the following season, to the Washington Redskins in order to draft University of Texas Heisman Trophy running back Ricky Williams in the first round. Ditka and Williams had a mock wedding picture taken to commemorate the occasion. However, Ditka, most of his coaching staff, and general manager Bill Kuharich were fired at the end of the 1999 season due to the clubs 313 record.
    Haslett era
    Jim Haslett held the post from 2000 to 2005. In his first year, he took the team to the playoffs but lost to the Minnesota Vikings a week after beating the St. Louis Rams for the teams first ever playoff win. After winning the 2000 NFL Executive of the Year Award, General Manager Randy Mueller was fired between the 2001 and 2002 seasons without explanation by Benson. The Saints failed to make the playoffs in 2001 and 2002, although in the latter year they had the distinction of beating the eventual Super Bowl XXXVII champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers in both of their regular season meetings, only the second team to do so in NFL history.
    In 2003, the Saints again missed the playoffs after finishing 88. The 2004 season started poorly for...

    USC Is Sending Back Reggie Bush's Heisman Trophy

  • Jul 21, 2010 from blackvoices(BlackVoices) in Lifestyle
    blackvoices Filed under: Basketball, FootballThe University of Southern California is feeling the pinch of the recent NCAA sanctions thanks to the receipt of illegal benefits by Reggie Bush and O.J. Mayo while they were enrolled and playing for the school.

    The school was punished with four years of probation, a two-year bowl ban and brutal football scholarship restrictions, but since both Bush and Mayo are playing professional ball, the NCAA and USC can't really do anything to punish them - except maybe hurt their feelings?

    And it looks like the school is doing just that. In a memo sent to USC supporters and staff, new school president Max Nikias announced that remnants of those two players are to be wiped out from the halls of the school:

    "The Trojan family honors and respects the USC sporting careers of those persons whose actions did not compromise their athletic program or the opportunities of future USC student-athletes," Nikias said in his memo.

    "Accordingly, I have instructed the senior vice president for administration to remove athletic jerseys and murals displayed in recognition of O.J. Mayo and Reggie Bush by mid-August -- before the incoming class of students moves on campus -- from Heritage Hall, the Galen Center and the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. The university also will return Mr. Bush's 2005 Heisman Trophy to the Heisman Trophy Trust in August."

    The NCAA has yet to ask for Bush's Heisman trophy back, but it appears that USC is taking a step ahead of them. The school only has a copy of the trophy while Bush has the original.
    Bush was scheduled to do a video chat on Tuesday on EastBay.com, and it was likely he was going to be asked about the moves made by USC. Unfortunately, though, the chat was postponed - probably to avoid the line of questioning. He has yet to make a comment on USC's decisions.
