In 1967 The City of New Orleans fielded their first NFL team \"The New Orleans Saints\" The city was very excited to join the ranks of the National Footbal League. John Mecom was President with Thier first headcoachTom Fears.
Things look couldn\'t look better for the Saints and their inaugural season. A 5–1 preseason record was followed by a 94-yard kick-off return for a touchdown by rookie John Gilliam to begin the 1967 season against the Los Angeles Rams. ( There is a rumor in the annals of New Orleans Saints legends that following this play many fans allegedly heard another fan in Tulane Stadium shout out aloud \"This is going to be the greatest football team in history!\" – thus forever jinxing the Saints). Apparently the Rams were not informed of this declaration as they quickly recovered from the opening blow to win 27–13.This is an original Media guide that was used by the local New Orleans newspaper reporter in 1967.
