The Beer Man will live on in Saints fans’ memories.
I don’t know of a Saint more universally loved by fans than Michael Lewis. A guy who never played football in high school or college — then who became a beer-truck driver, the guy who delivered Budweiser to the Superdome — decides to try out for the local NFL team. And not only does he make the team — he ends up setting a single-season mark for return yardage and getting a trip to the Pro Bowl.
Were I the sort of person to pour a 40 on the ground in memory of the fallen, I’d do so now.
