Subtitles section Play video Print subtitles so many people have asked me why I am so obsessed with the Saints. I think it means even more than ever, because of Luke, there's a comfort in Sunday's for a father, a son and their saints. I think everyone is inspired by Luke Story. I think Luke is a bit of a good luck charm for us to welcome to the home of our football champions. Just say we've lost a video on what we say do that. I have been a Saints fan all my life, and my little boy was the same way our deal was. We're going to the Superdome every year for the rest of our lives. Nike. Thanks Hey, don't like this Cab boy Luke Siegel inherited Mawr than fandom from his father, Tim. Ah, former professional tennis player and coach, a Texas Tech. And Luke was as determined and competitive his dad, especially in baseball. He loved to practices much you'd love to play and how Maney 78 year olds are like that. His goal was to be the best second basement in the world, not wanting to miss those moments. In July 2015, after 23 years of Texas Tech. Tim left to spend more time with nine year old Luke and his three older daughters. Oh, 20 days after resigning, life changed forever. Here s the address of your emergency. It's on 106th and save them in the colder sack. Some kids were doing doughnuts in a golf cart and it flipped over on him. And he's bleeding really, really bad. Luke had been riding in a modified golf cart with a friend when the vehicle flipped over, landing on it before his parents could get there. Luke was rushed to the hospital. E remember just talking to God and begging him that everything was OK. When I see a doctor told me, Just pray he wakes up. Luke had gone into cardiac arrest, depriving his brain of oxygen for more than seven minutes. We were told local never uses limbs. He will never use his voice. He should never open his eyes through a family friend. Word of Lukes accident reached the Saints. As Tim sat with Luke in intensive care, he received a message on his phone. Hey, Luke, this is Drew Brees, quarterback for the New Orleans Saints. Just wanted Thio say I'm thinking about your buddy. Keep fighting. I'm hoping and praying for full recovery and can't wait to see you. A saints game in the stands. Look forward to seeing you soon. I'm praying for you five years later. It's a different life. You know, our days consist of giving, like medications through come today. Stretching him, taking him to physical therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy. Since the accident, Tim and Luke have visited Breeze and the saints. Luke, What's up, buddy? You're a great man. Breeze has gone toe. Love it to visit Luke at home. Okay, James, Lady e came 11 to see. And each season, Tim and Luke have kept the promise they made to each other before the accident. Okay, You ready to see the saints today where you watch the saints? Uh huh. Let's do it, buddy. Here we go. Luke and I made a pact. Every year, we're gonna go watch the saints play. We went to seven or eight games and then in the last five years, you touched on this. I know he's in there. What do you mean? Early on, we were told that there would be no Luke other than body that he was not going to be able to respond recently. I said, Look, the thing to playing. Do you think we're gonna win? Move your tongue, Try to move his tongue? I could have I could have lifted a car. At that time, I couldn't believe what was really happening. I can see a father's love for his son. When I see Tim and Luke, it's the way that, you know, I look at my kids every time you know I see him or think about him. We as a team love having them around because they represent all the right things for all that's changed. Sundays are the same for a father, a son and their saints. There's not a therapist or a doctor that's worked with Luke in the last five years. That doesn't understand three importance of the New Orleans Saints. Not only that, Drew Brees looks hero, I believe, has helped Luke improve. Is Drew Brees. Your hero? Drew Brees is your hero, isn't he? Yes, E c that time moving because you know he is, uh, is your hero. Thanks for watching ESPN on YouTube for live streaming sports and premium content.
