On Monday (Jan. 15), in the dreary aftermath of New Orleans' playoff loss to Minnesota, Jill and Marc Winston sent a sweet valentine to Saints safety Marcus Williams.
The rookie safety had blown a tackle that could have saved the game, and the Winstons knew he was probably suffering. The Winston's three sons had played high school basketball, so Jill and Marc were well aware how harshly athletes can blame themselves for defeats.
"I was just thinking about how bad this kid must feel," Jill Winston, 66, said.
