Dave, I was a Greenbay fan in New Orleans before the Saints existed. Then I had to go with the Saints too when they started in 1967.

Myself and the bartender where I hustled nine ball were the only two people in New Orleans that liked Billy Kilmer the quarterback at that time. All the Saint's fans booed the guy when going and coming off the field. Then they traded him along with Doug Atkins to the Redskins. So, then I had to be a Redshinks fan also.

The Redskins became the "Over The Hill Gang" and went to the Super Bowl and gained many more fans in the process. George Allen and the Over The Hill Gang beat teams with players that were younger then some of the Redskins kids.

Others have tried to get all experienced older players since then, but it's never worked like it did for George Allen.
