Tracy Porter has that Monday-after-a-game look. He gets out of the SUV that drops him off at Chophouse in New Orleans and walks gingerly, like if he fell he’d break into a million pieces. He has a cast on one hand and a brace on the other.
But if happy memories can make pain go away, Porter is in luck. He is here to talk about the biggest play in New Orleans Saints history—his interception return for a touchdown that sealed the team’s first Super Bowl victory two years ago.
But before getting to that, a story from dinner: Porter orders a steak medium well, emphasis on well and asks the waiter, “Can I have a huge favor?” He asks for the steak to be delivered cut up—it would be hard if not impossible to do it himself with two bad hands. The waiter, a 20-something man who has given no indication he recognizes Porter, says, “I remember an interception from a couple years ago that equals all the favors you want.”
