* Attempted but failed in ''{{Film/Brians Song}}''. Gayle Sayres asks the rest of the Bears to win the game for Brian Piccolo after his cancer diagnosis, but they end up losing.
-->'''Brian''': You got some moves in the field, but in the locker room, you are one big klutz. When you dedicate a game to someone, you are then supposed to go out and win it,idiot. Pat O’Brien never said “let’s blow one for the Gipper.”

city: when the [[UsefulNotes/NationalFootballLeague New Orleans Saints]] returned to the Louisiana Superdome in 2006 after Hurricane Katrina devastated UsefulNotes/NewOrleans the prior year, they proceeded to play one of the best seasons they ever had, winning the first NFC South title in the team's history, the first time that a team with such a poor record the prior season (3-13) had turned its fortunes around in such a manner. The season opener, which saw a pre-game performance of The Skids' "The Saints are Coming" by Music/GreenDay and Music/{{U2}}, is one of the most widely-viewed regular-season football games in history. The Saints went on to a run of success that lasted until 2012, including a UsefulNotes/SuperBowl victory in 2010 at the end of the 2009 season. Unfortunately, in 2012 it turned into a bitter subversion, as that was when it was discovered that, since 2009, the Saints had been operating a "bounty pool" in which they gave bonuses to players who injured their competitors on the field, a ''massive'' breach of sportsmanship and in violation of several NFL rules. While the bounty pool was not in effect during the 2006 comeback season, Sean Payton, who had started as head coach that year, was implicated in it and received a year-long suspension (the first head coach in modern NFL history to ever be suspended), tarnishing his legacy.
