He's a hero to me because I have ALS. His foundation is amazing at funding ALS patients with equipment.
God bless you!
@@TestTest-ei4gi thank you. I need it👍😊🙏
John, I know these comments are from 2 years ago, but I hope you’re well. 🙏🏽❤️
What makes you keep faith despite everything you're going through?
@@Milan9Zlatangoogle That's a great question. I never thought about it. The obvious answer is the will to live. I was very active and in great shape before the beast took over so maybe I'm a little in denial and a little stubborn. I love life and I dream of a future that I can once again be active, watch my young adult children grow up and have families, play with grandkids..... I recently was diagnosed with Lyme disease as well so these Lyme Literate doctors feel that if I can beat the chronic Lyme, I may get my miracle. Just need the CDC and the medical community to take this more serious.
Poor Steve Gleason. That football life was incredible. God bless him
They should make A Football Life about him. What a Warrior!
I look at Steve as inspiration, look how he's handled this matter.
Steve wouldn't want anyone feeling sad for him
I'm sure he appreciates your consideration, but it's not "poor Steve Gleason". He has triumphed in the face of the hardship that life has thrown his way. He's an absolute warrior and an inspiration to this day. At every saints game he's there with the entire Saints family standing behind him and cheering him on.
@@ed6271 you said what I came to say, but better.
This might be a stretch, but putting Steve Gleason in the Pro Football Hall of Fame would be the greatest thing to happen without a question.
It gave life to a franchise and to a city.
Yes, it’s a stretch.
Given what Steve Gleason has gone through since then and how he's gone about it and you include this moment, he should be in the Hall of Fame. That moment revitalized a Franchise and its City and his punt block was the kickstart to it all.
He won't be an NFL Hall of Famer, but Gleason will forever be remembered and celebrated here in New Orleans. We even put up a statue of him outside the Superdome and the mayor gave him the key to the city. The city's love for him I think is more important to him than being in the Hall of Fame.
Maybe not the HOF, but an award named after him ? Like Walter's Man Of The Year.....although, i wouldnt know what the award would be for. I do agree though, this moment is up there with the most memorable moments in nfl history.
This made me tear up, such a great moment in new Orleans history
James Burgess I'm a colts fan and I couldn't have hoped for a better opponent in the 2006 Superbowl to win
I’m watching this as I watch Gleason receive the Congressional Gold medal. What an honor and what a great man. Congratulations from Viking country.
There might never be a more meaningful play made in the NFL.
This means more to me - a New Orleanian - than the Super Bowl win or any other moment in Saints history. The Super Bowl win was a vindication for 42 years of failure, but THIS was the moment of triumph for the whole city. We weren't dead, we weren't down any longer. No Saints' fan can watch this and not have tears in their eyes; IT IS US.
Gleason is a great man
Joey his son goes to my school
Top 10 all time NFL moment. Maybe Top 5.
I'm a die hard panther fan...that being said...I'm crying and tearing up. One of many football moments I will never forget
This is THE moment that made me a Saints fan. I have a friend who had family who lost everything to Katrina. This moment; is the greatest moment in sports I have seen, bar none.
Not even the 78 Steelers, 85 Bears, or 89 49ers could've beaten them in the Superdome
That was the strongest 12th man ever
Not on that night. That night belonged to the saints no matter what
@@jgrj52 Tom Jackson said on ESPNs post game show that no one could've beaten that team that night!
@Mitsi Grabblerberg Yeah...NO! The Saints have beaten Tom Brady and company more than once...including twice last season during the regular season. There's no way they would have beaten this team either! Only God himself would have been the only one to defeat the Saints that night. C for effort though! WHO DAT! 🏈🏆
No not that night.
His foundation is why I have an elevator lift for my power wheelchair 😊 He's in my Hall of Fame!
Gleason came through the middle like a goddamn super hero!! 🔥🔥🔥
Everytime I watch this I get chills...Just a few months earlier the Superdome was filled with cries of pain and loss...The place of your greatest pain shall be the place of your greatest praise
THIS is the power of sports... Everything that's happening now seems to be dividing people
Someone once said, "There's no *I* in TEAM."
Certainly no *R* or *D* either.
I'm from the UK. I watched Katrina every day on the news. I stayed up till the early hours of the morning to watch this game. I cheered and cried with you New Orleans. Thank you for this moment. God Bless.
The fact that the millisecond you see the block even in slow motion, you can see the emotion erupt in the crowd almost instantly. I’ll never forget seeing that. Well deserved
If this doesn't bring a tear to your eye, you aren't merely not a New Orleanian... you are not a human being.
born and raised in New Orleans. No other city I’d rather live in . 🙏🏻
bro idk why but this makes me cry like a baby every time and i’m a Broncos fan
I don't think I'll ever experience a moment like that again,,,,,,, truly unreal.
I'd just like to add.These people weren't acting for the camera. The emotion they showed were the true and real emotions of everyone in the city. People were hugging and crying after this play. It exemplified the true nature of New Orleans that day. We got beat up and broken, but this was the inspiring light that showed the world that we weren't out for the count. We had a lot of punch left in us. This was a symbolic victory, but a moral one as well. It made us believe in ourselves again.
I was 8 in 2006 so i understood why this was so special but I didnt TRULY grasp it completly, and now all these years later it brings a tear to my eye every time i see it.
I was at an LSU baseball game at Tulane and Steve Gleason was there. When the game was over, we were walking past him and I didn’t want to bother him so I told his wife to let him know how much my friend and I admired him. She did and he had them stop getting ready to move him out and told her to ask if we would like a picture with him. What an unbelievable honor for this lifelong Saints fan.
The greatest football story of all time. WHO DAT BABY?!
Have faith Steve Gleason! You have my respect and my prayers.
After losing so much and feeling so defeated, the saints gave our entire state hope. So proud to be from Louisiana ⚜️❤️
A great superplayer!! God bless Steve, watched him get the gold medal today in the Whitehouse!! 🙏 for you and your beautiful family. Geaux Tigers and Saints!!👍👍👍👍
It's amazing how sports can bring us all together...
Thank You Saints for that moment
When it unfolded like it did from that end zone view, you knew Steve Gleason was going to block it and the rest was history.
I still remember watching this game as a 6 year old boy. I wasn't aware enough to know the devastation of Katrina but I did remember the buildup to a week 3 Monday night game feeling different. Looking back that was my introduction how the emotional impact sports can truly have.
As someone who's played football up to college. I've intercepted balls, ran them back for touchdowns. I've had receiving and rushing touchdowns.. but no greater feeling then blocking a kick or punt. The imprint of the laces stayed on my arm for almost a week.. good times. And God Bless Steve Gleason🙏🏼⚜
3:36 that was powerful. I am from Brazil, I love Football and I am a Saints fan because of that history.
Won't ever forget that game or moment, You knew as soon as that kick was blocked there was no way in hell atlanta was gonna win in new orleans that night. Amazing and not even a saints fan but that moment was more then sports
No matter how many times I watch this, it gives me goosebumps.
that moment we got instant relief & knew that things would get better
The block heard around the world. Great play Steve. Must be the memory of a lifetime.
My science teacher in 5th grade went to college with Steve. They were decently good friends and we watched a documentary on Steve. What a great man.
Still makes me cry.. The city being devastated.. back in the dome where people tried to survive.. filled back with energy and joy. Beginning of the Brees and Sean Payton era.. Man what a time to be a Saints fan
Someone whos dealt with ALS in our family. My heart broke for Steve, and his family. I don't wish that disease on anyone.. Love one another, and cherish the moments you get in life, and with the ones you love.
I cried so hard when I first heard and watch this.. The Dome is the greatest stadium in NFL history. Dieheart Saint Fan! Who Dat?!
Certainly one of the most meaningful plays in NFL history.
i love steve gleason. i have had the pleasure of meeting his mom. never forget either day
Never met him, only learned about him through videos. What a class act! So humble, helping others even in the face of adversity.What a hero!He is really living with purpose. His family is in my prayers. Beautiful children btw...love from Minnesota
This is so powerful to me. Makes my throat clench from the emotions
Same here. We lost so much in katrina and this gave all of us hope again.
The fact that the Superdome reopened on my BIRTHDAY and then this happened...i cried like a baby! ❤️❤️❤️
We miss you Steve thank you sir for your time with us
Gleason is the man! An ultimate joy to watch play and a good man. All the love Steve, you amaze me in every way as a human being.
If u are ever having a bad day....just think of Steve! WHO DAT!!
I remember watching this live. Can't help but smiling and getting excited watching it again in 2020. Steve Gleason is awesome. Who Dat!
Still gives me chills and brings tears to my eye. ☮️💗🙏
I watched this on MNF live at a sports bar with my friends. What a moment, and to witness it when it happened! Love from a die hard Lions fan!
I went to high school with Curtis Deloatch #39 who scored the touchdown.
Still remember this like it was yesterday. It was a year after katrina made new orleans famous and this was I think their 1st game back in the dome. I was on the middle school football team and they handed out tickets to this game. I didn't go unfortunately cuz I was under the weather but man I'll never forget watching it live! That same season we came close to going to the super bowl as well. Great memories!
Steve Gleason what a guy GO COUGS!!!!
that ending was so abrupt lmao
I'm not crying.. you ar.....ok yes I am 😭😭😭
I was in the dome for that game. Don't think I've ever heard anything that loud in my life.
The first football game in the super dome after it had been re built from hurricane Katrina and on the first play Steve Gleason blocked the falcons punt and saints scored a td
Changed the course of saints history and one of if the the greatest moments ever in all of sports #whodatnation #saintsnation
Michael loves Steve. 💕 This is great! ⚜️⚜️
The dislikes were probably from Falcons fans 😂😂
naa, most are good sport about this game
I was in college in 2006 and I remember being in a sports bar in Hammond (north of New Orleans). After that very good first defensive stand, I looked at the bartender and said, “hey, bet we block it”. Bartender said, “if we do, bucket of beer on me”. We both looked up and boom…it happens.
After crying for the 3rd time that night with everyone as we all hugged, jumped, and screamed, I looked back at the bar and there the fresh bucket was. I looked up at the bartender and all he could do was look at me and point with tears in his eyes. Jesus, I’m getting choked up just writing this.
The truth is that if you weren’t from NOLA and the area, it’s hard to put into words what this meant. It is only right that we made a statue commemorating it, aptly named “Rebirth”.
We all love Steve, Michael.
I ll never forget that block after all the hardship I really thought god has to have a hand in that moment . Had to have for the spirit of the people the city the nation
Had this happened in 2021 the refs would have flagged New Orleans for delay of game from the crowd noise.
This gives me goosebumps
This was a moment !
Crazy how blocking at punt can have so much emotion like this
And yes I understand like the background to this
I got goosebumps!
Okay thanks now I’m crying
Gives me goosebumps ⚜️🥶
This was epic for us.
⚜️
3:38 perfectly said. Amazing
If anyone is interested in the music it's Rising Up by David Robidoux
As a falcons fan, i was pretty happy they won....like after all they been through Hats off to them. Yall still gonna lose this monday ;))
respect for you but we pick up this W ;P
Just watch Monday night ;)
i will cause ill be there ;)
ya know what fam GG i cant be worrying about a team as shit as this one anymore take care good luck on your season i give up with this damn team
Yash Chawla Thanks for not being salty. I've been going over the Saints Vikings NFC championship and they all saying "I hope hurricanes finish the job to your city". It's like they don't know what New Orleans went through and what it what it felt like.
If he isnt going into the hall of fame he should
I come back here when I get something stuck in my eye , like a piece of dust .
Maybe the single greatest play in nfl history
This is when the Saints stopped being a punchline and began their trip to being a respectable and respected team. I remember when SportsCenter would preface their coverage of the Saints with “Because we have to…” or “Because we’re a full service broadcast…”
if youre not a saints fan you wont know whats so special about this block.
I'm not a Saints fan but I'm sure I can appreciate how special that game and play was
I tear up every time
You don't have to be a Saints fan to get it. Steve Gleason made a play that symbolized rebirth and healing for a city that had suffered so much. The MNF broadcast was perfect: Mike Tirico called the block, called the TD, and then shut his mouth and let the roar of the crowd do the commentary. This was a moment that the city of New Orleans desperately needed.
@gerald martinez yeah this comment is pretty old i was a bit younger when i made it lol.
Meant more because it was against Atlanta!
WHO DAT BAAAAABBBBYYY!!! Saints fanatic all day
The 2000 Ravens, 91 Redskins or the 85 Bears would’ve lost to New Orleans that night. Sometimes things bigger than football shape the outcomes of a game. I don’t know what player wouldn’t have gotten enough adrenaline to run with broken legs with a crowd that on fire. Just wow. Every football fan had a smile for them that night.
The single most important play in saints history. I just wish they’d quit saying a rebirth for New Orleans the whole entire state was destroyed that year. East coast to west coast. This was a rebirth for the state of Louisiana not just New Orleans
What is the song they play during the first time we see the score so motivating
If you still need it I remember it's the song for the Madden 08 intro.
Payton: we are probably gonna lose
Gleason: sure bout that coach
Not only was the punt a crazy moment, but we beat a prime Mike Vick and shut him down. Beautiful game all around.
When sound had feel. Poor Atl had not shot after that.
What is the name of this song/music?
Rise up
Drew Brees,and so many other mean sooo much to The city..
What’s the song at 3:13
Take that, Katrina!!
1:06 I need Tony Romo to listen to Koreheiser and take notes!
Steve Gleason!
Anyone know the name of the music in the background?
It's by David Robidoux and the title track is called "The Day Has Come".
Thanks bro!@@TheMPDC5120
I'm sorry, can someone tell me what made this so special, and the backstory behind it please?
Katrina hit NO in 2005 and the team had to play all home games away finishing 3-13 that season. They work to reopen the stadium not only after the hurricane itself but the damage that happen after thousands of people were practically trapped there with little to no supplies. An this game happen a little after starting the first game at home in 2006.
The 1972 Dolphins could have came into this game through a time rift, and the Saints were STILL gonna win this day.
Like if this is the greatest/most meaningful play in NFL history
I lost so much money on this game. I was stupid enough to bet on a road favorite on an emotional prime time game, I deserved to lose that night.
Just blocked another punt today. Sign of great things to come this season?
🙏🏽🙏🏽
