If you have made holes in your living room wall caused by throwing your remote....You might be a Saints Fan

If your dog hides under the bed during Saints games in fear of being kicked....You might be a Saints Fan

If you show up to work on Monday and find a Paper Bag with a cutout face on your desk.......You might be a Saints Fan

If you have ever defended Aaron Books....You might be a Saints Fan

If you have drank a whole 12 pack in a first quarter...You might be a Saints Fan

If you have a family member that has been giving you crap for years about the Saints and is currently avoiding you....You might be a Saints Fan

And last but not least.

If you BELIEVE....You might be a Saints Fan

How about these qualifications?

Stayed up until 3am in Germany in Army Barracks to watch them Play Atlanta in the Play offs in 1991 on Dec 28th?

Hunting as a child with Hokie Gajan in Gueydan (1983)?

Chewing out the manager at Academy in Houston (moved here) because there is not any Saints merchandise (yesterday)?

A bad Saints game is better than no game at all. I know this because I now live in Houston and rarely get to watch the game. I had to sit in my drive way when they played the Skins in OT listening to XM in the rain.

My Neighbors look at me funny now. They just would not understand.

Fan is short for Fanatic. And Fanatic we are.

Did you call into wwl (Bobby and Deke) after the game? If not someone else in Houston did the same thing.

Been a fan for a LOOOONG time - if we are throwing out names how Vaughn Dunbar??

How about this - If you are willing to (& have) get a Saints tatoo - The you are a real fan.

No I didnt.

I also spent the entire 2006/2007 season watching nfl.com automated game from a Motel room in Nigeria.

Is there any way to see the games via internet?

If I were to get a tatoo it would be something to do with the saints. However i am not one for tatoos.

A Fleur-De-Lis at 38 would look like a wounded duck at 78.
