Meme of the Week

Coming into this game, the Saints have two of the top sack leaders in the NFL in Chase Young and Carl Granderson, thus we think it's fitting to show the Panthers quarterback Bryce Young on his keister, which is what we hope will be a place he will reside for a large part of the day.

Doug has been around Saints football since its inception. He was in Tulane Stadium when John Gilliam ran back the opening kickoff for a touchdown in 1967. Though he was in attendance for the Tom Dempsey field goal in 1970, he left early, something he regrets to this day. He covered the Saints at their training camp in Ruston, Louisiana in 1985 while he was working in Monroe, Louisiana as an award-winning radio sportscaster. He was the host of the New Orleans Saints Pre-Game and Post-Game show on Sports 1280, WQUE in the early 1990s. Doug is also the publisher of the Tulane site for On SI.
