Let them doubt guys! How sweet was it last year, when no one believed in us, and we shoved it down their throats! This team has ALWAYS been an underdog. In many ways, it probably always will be. Embrace it.

I agree. We are the smallest market (in that green-bay caters to all of Wisconsin and large chunks of Illinois we can't even get top picked in Shreveport)

Ratings runs the news - not news. Drama makes news but loses games. Lets keep it that way.

Two-Dat.

What else is new? We'd probably have to win 3 in a row to get a quarter of the coverage that Farve has been getting.

I can't wait for Favre to actually, really retire.

Maybe then a decade later we'll quit hearing so much about him. Gotta start somewhere.

The Saints have a good chunk of the Gulf coast as a fan base.
