Joe Horn said he was working out by himself at a gym in his hometown of Tupelo, Mississippi, when he saw Michael Thomas pay homage to his famous cellphone touchdown celebration Sunday (Nov. 4) against the Los Angeles Rams at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
When Horn saw Thomas cross the goal line on his 72-yard touchdown catch and race to the goal post in the south end zone to retrieve a cell phone he had hidden under the pad beneath the stanchion, he got emotional.
“When I saw him bring out that cellphone, I teared up,” Horn said. “That’s something that some kids don’t do, to pay homage to an old soul. For him to do it on a national stage took a lot of courage. I’m humbled.”
The choreographed celebration earned Thomas a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty from the officials, as did Horn’s original act in the Saints’ 45-7 win against the New York Giants in 2003. It didn’t endear him to Saints head coach Sean Payton, but ultimately didn’t hurt the Saints, who held off the Rams for a 45-35 win.
"You got to have fun,” said Thomas, who finished with 12 catches for a Saints franchise-record 211 yards. “All these guys are catching touchdowns and celebrating and having fun and getting the crowd involved. I felt like I had an opportunity to make it happen, put the game away and make the call."
Thomas said he watched Horn’s original 2003 celebration before the game and had been thinking about it since he’s been with the Saints. Thomas' re-enactment occurred in the same South end zone as Horn’s original act in the Saints’ prime-time win against the Giants on Dec. 14, 2003.
“I loved the celebration,” Thomas said. “I loved the swagger that he brought. I love how it got the crowd going. I definitely was thinking about it, but I’m happy I waited for that moment."
After Thomas’ tribute, Horn said he was inundated with scores of text messages and phone calls immediately from friends, family and well-wishers.
Horn said he has never met the Saints’ third-year wideout but called Thomas the best wide receiver in the NFL. He said he went online immediately after the game to buy one of Thomas' No. 13 Saints jerseys.
