They envy our success because their teams didn't make it and becaue they do not have the same connection we have with our Saints. When we won the NFC championship out of all the people I know around the country, only one person called me to congratulate us on our first Super Bowl. The Saints have earned this & we deserve to be proud.

Only three people who aren't Saints fans actually congratulated me. The rest told me, "I hope the Colts spank you in the Super Bowl." They hate us because they can't be us.

Ok, we haven't even played in our first freaking superbowl yet, and it seems that from the media, to fans of other teams, are all completely against us all the sudden? I don't get it. What the hell have we done to anybody? This team played their freaking butts off, to get where they are, and this is the thanks they get? None of our players have anything close to an ego, personal problems, or problems with the law, but people hate them? I don't get this at all. To me, this goes to show, that the entire country is going to Hell, and they are happy as can be, to be on the ride.

Talk all you want about the team I guess, if that's all you can do, to make yourself feel better about your team losing, but leave Katrina, and the thousands of dead bodies, and destroyed homes and lives OUT OF IT. Pardon my violent nature, but when I read stuff like I have been reading lately, IT MAKES ME VIOLENTLY ANGRY. All I want to do, is start laying people out fist to face, because they are too stupid to be breathing.

My entire family lives on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi. My cousin lost her house, her cars, all of her possessions, and almost her life, along with her two kids. The Gulf Coast still looks like an a-bomb hit it, for the most part, so to hear people relating their hate for a football team, to this kind of catastrophe is not only infuriating, it's un called for.

If these people have no better moral's, or even value for human life than this, then I can only blame their parents, for being such terrible people, that they allow their children to act this way. It's disgusting.

So I say this. Hate us. I officially don't care anymore. With your "kind", I will consider it a compliment to be hated by you, and anyone like you.

I wonder how many of these morons even know how many Colts players are from the Gulf Coast area, and how much suffering they went through themselves. Probably not. Most people with no class, stay that way, their entire lives.
