The New Orleans Saints history is not nearly as long and obviously not as storied as many NFL franchises. Born in 1967, the Saints are among the younger NFL teams and cities. Much of the Saints history is bleak. They were longtime loveable losers and introduced a new use for paper grocery bags in the 1980s. This is not a franchise that can look back into it’s past and see a lot of greatness. This fact is only magnified by the devastation of the city by Hurricane Katrina and the aftermath. In the smallest of worries after that tragedy, the Saints were homeless.
