On Sunday, former Saint Steve Gleason announced how he’s doing in a dramatic way. After being diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) – more commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, he accompanied Drew Brees and Will Smith to the mid-field coin toss before the Saints-Texans game, then led the pre-game “Who Dat” chant.
