John DeShazier: Black and Gold Classic getting better with time

After the fifth annual Black and Gold Classic, former New Orleans Saints great Stan Brock said the event only is getting better with time.

The Classic – a fishing rodeo and shooting event originated by Brock, with the proceeds being donated to the Green Beret and Navy Seals foundations – again was held in Grand Isle this past weekend and featured the presence of several former and current Saints.

This year, Brock said, he anticipates the donation to the foundations to eclipse $50,000.

Brock was a Saint from 1980-92. His inspiration for the Black and Gold Classic came from being the offensive line coach and then the head football coach at Army.
