“HAKIM DROPS THE BALL! HAKIM DROPS THE BALL!!” We all remember how the book of the 2000 Saints Season ended, the iconic 870 AM call of Jim Henderson poetically testifying at the top of his lungs that “THERE’S A GOD AFTER ALL!” and – for many of us – we remember exactly where we were for the franchise’s first ever playoff win against “The Greatest Show on Turf”.
In this episode we of course relive our own memories of that euphoric moment, but we also look back at the season as a whole. Did the turn of the century Saints team represent a turn of the corner for the overall fortunes and future of the franchise? In that pre-Payton/Brees era, far enough separated from the glory days of the Dome Patrol, thoughts of entering the 2000s with a legitimate winning team, much less a winning record, seemed to be wishful thinking at best - and talk of actually winning a playoff game reserved only for those willing to be ridiculed for having their head in the clouds (or stuck up their own…far less sunny region). BUT – everything changed in that 2000 season…
This episode dives in depth into one of the most fun cast of characters the Saints have ever had, the feeling of hope turned into legitimate optimism then actual confidence in the team’s ability to win consistently. The 2000 Saints were, if nothing else, a damn fun ride and opened our eyes to the possibility that a team in Black and Gold could actually compete against the NFL’s best in the modern game; and ultimately, gave us the best moment – at that time – we had yet to experience as fans. Come along for the ride as we jump back to the year 2000 and trade memories and dive into that historic season!
