About this listen

Recapture all the excitement of Saints football - newly updated!

The New Orleans Saints own a rich history that reflects the unique character of their hometown - always colorful, sometimes sinful, and utterly unpredictable. In recent years, the Saints have shaken off their reputation as the NFL’s lovable Fleur de Losers and have risen to become a dangerous gridiron competitor once again.

Despite the struggles of their early years, the Saints are adored and worshipped by their fans like few other teams in the league. Their die-hard followers are resilient, passionate, and eternally optimistic. In this newly revised edition of Tales from the New Orleans Saints Sideline, author Jeff Duncan chronicles the flamboyant history of the franchise, its highs and lows, the great coaches and players, and the colorful characters that have made it one of the most interesting clubs in NFL history.

Tales from the New Orleans Saints Sideline details the franchise’s journey from the bumbling early years under freewheeling owner John Mecom, through the misguided and madcap three seasons under Coach Mike Ditka, and the return to respectability under the fiery and headstrong Jim Haslett. Primed and ready to achieve the glory that has thus far eluded them, the New Orleans Saints have hundreds of stories to be told, and thousands of moments to share. Now fans will relive all the greatest triumphs and most devastating defeats, and get the inside story from former Saints greats like Jim Mora, Archie Manning, Morten Andersen, Pat Swilling, Drew Brees, and more.

Editorial reviews

Narrator Bob Souer's minimalist performance is borderline deadpan, which serves to emphasize the humor and outrageousness in many of Jeff Duncan's anecdotes about the Saints. Souer's restraint while narrating stories such as how Doug Atkins fired a shotgun in the air to silence rookies with a too-loud stereo provides a delightful contrast that will leave listeners grinning, if not outright chuckling.

Not all of Duncan's stories are funny, however, and Souer's mature voice rings with sincerity and regret when recounting anecdotes about failures and disappointments. Fans who remember a time when the Saints were the NFL's Fleur de Losers will appreciate the stories behind the team's bumbling early days and their success in turning things around.
