Many of Gleason’s old teammates, including Drew Brees, Scott Fujita Will Smith, Jon Stinchcomb, John Casey, Scott Shanle, Mark Simoneau, Michael Lewis, Fred McAfee, Fred Thomas, and Deuce McAllister, shared the moment with family and friends. After receiving the ring, Gleason stood up and delivered an emotional speech.
“At the beginning of the game, I never knew if we were going to win or lose, but I was always certain that I was going to walk out of there with my head held high because I got ready, I had the right people around me and I was going to give it everything I had,” Gleason said. “It’s the same now. We’re going to give it everything we got. And I have a calming sense of certainty that we’re going to win this thing.”
Gleason retired in 2008 as a Saints folk hero whose highlights included a blocked punt in the 2006 home opener, the first game played in the rebuilt Louisiana Superdome after Hurricane Katrina.

NFL Players Use Steroids Too & His Name Is Joselio Hanson
NFL players use steroids too and this time his name is not Shawne Merriman or anyone involved in the StarCaps case, no it’s Philadelphia Eagles corner-back Joselio Hanson, who has been suspended four games for violating the NFL’s steroid policy.
Apparently Hanson feels the the letter of the NFL law doesn’t apply to everyone when he texted reporter Geoff Mosher of DelawareOnline, “I’m just going to say that the NFL don’t treat players the same.”
A reference, to the ongoing StarCaps case that reached a congressional subcommittee last week. Minnesota’s Pat and Kevin Williams, along with New Orleans’ Charles Grant, Will Smith and former Saint Deuce McAllister, tested positive for StarCaps, a weight-loss drug that contains bumetanide, a substance that is banned by the league’s drug policy.
The league attempted to suspend the Williamses, whom were then allowed by a federal appeals court to fight their suspensions in a state court. The ruling allowed the Williamses to continue playing while the case remains unresolved. The NFL subsequently announced that it would not immediately enforce suspensions for Smith or Grant, saying that it would be unfair to do so while the Williamses were allowed to continue playing.
The news comes at a bad time for the Eagles who also announced that corner-back Ellis Hobbs would be placed on the IR with a neck injury, Hanson has 29 tackles and one interception so far in 2009.
