New Orleans Saints: Tom Dempsey’s memory will live on
Former New Orleans Saints’ kicker Tom Dempsey has passed away, but his memory will live forever in the hearts of fans everywhere.
“Here’s the snap, the ball is down. Dempsey kicks, it’s on the way. It is… good! It’s good! It’s good! The Saints have won! The Saints have won! The stadium is wild! Dempsey has been mobbed! The time has run out, the Saints have won, 19-17! Dempsey with a 63-yard field goal!”
That famous commentary from Saints radio personality Al Wester in 1970 echoes throughout the memories of longtime fans of the New Orleans Saints.
They know that since the team’s first season in 1967, the franchise had just a few shining moments until the club started winning in 1987.
