If you're around my age, that 63 yard field goal by Tom Dempsey was one of the most amazing things imaginable. This was in the days when the goal post was on the goal line - who ever thought that was a good idea? Dempsey was kicking from his own 37 yard line. RIP Mr. Dempsey.

Dyr Bobby Herbert a qb for the Saints in the 90's? Pure Cajun boy born born and raised in LA and went on to play for the saints. Anyway I read where his father died last week from coronavirus last week.

LA has been hit especially hard from the coronavirus only three states have suffered more fatalities than LA.
