Bye week, like Ash Wednesday or jail time, is an opportunity for reflection.

With another agonizing down-up-down-up New Orleans Saints season rumbling, stumbling, fumbling toward 00:00, it's time to consider one of this city's great natural resources: Saints fans.

I've been observing them for about three years now, and lemme say this to ya: I'm baffled.

Charmed, but baffled.

Consider: The 2002 season finale was one of the most desultory moments in a long Saints history of desultory moments.

Who am I kidding? Of course I believe the Saints can win it all this year. At least this year they have enough talent to give us some hope-- maybe not a lot of hope, but a little is all it takes to keep you hooked.
