America's Love Affair over with the Saints

44Champs · 12-09-2010, 04:06 PM

Yes, the Super Bowl changed everything. It gave hope. It gave heart. And the tears and cries and the party that spilled through the still-broken city that February night the New Orleans Saints won were real, perhaps never better expressed than by a man who stood in the middle of a mob on St. Bernard Avenue in Treme and shouted:

“FEMA what? FEMA who? FEMA where?

“Saints!”

Basically, one person's opinion. As far as I'm concerned, the Saints are OUR team. We don't need all of these new bandwagoners anyway. The rest of America can keep their Cowgirls.

Agreed.

I don't think America's love affair with Saints is over for it never really started. Right.
Many new fans are just so because of the SB or last year.
The Saints are low key in a small media market.The players do not show off and are not on a first name basis in the media.
Brees is not even really all over the place.

Glad to be where we are, still flying, but off the radar. No bandwagon fans needed here. The Saints have accomplished what was never suppose to happen. Never say Never.... Onto that next Super Bowl championship! Two DAT!

When I saw the headline for this post, I thought it was an article from The Onion. That's how laughable it is. Then again, the writers for yahoo sports aren't much more serious. lol.

I never wanted us to be America's team. We have enough band wagon and fair weather fans as it is.
