Right as the Saints are driving and getting close to taking the lead in the 4th Q a Pats fan comes in and sits next to me. Now I’ve got a Saints cap on and I’m stressed and focused on the game and obviously don’t want to talk to anybody. So what does this guy do?...sure enough, start up a conversation. He goes on about how the Saints “got this” game. I’m trying to be as polite as I can as a buzzed fan watching his team trying to claw back for a win and say something like “We’ll see. I’m just trying to focus on the game”. Doesn’t slow him down from trying to engage me. I start to feel the bad mojo radiating from the guy.

I never make eye contact with him and focus on the TV screen. Saints take the lead and he gives me the “I told you!” routine. I mumble something like “Lots of time left”. Sure enough , Saints lose and he says “I thought you guys had that”.

Now I’m a bit of a superstitious fan. When I watch their games on TV I like it quiet and I like to focus. I turn off the sound because announcers suck. I don’t even like watching Saints games with my wife because if things go bad I tend to blame people I’m watching with. So, I turn to this guy and say “F$&k you dude!” and walk out the bar (I had already paid the tab). Later on I was pissed about the loss and upset at myself for what I said to the guy.

I was watching the Titans game at the same bar on the same TV (different seat) and the same guy walks in. We make eye contact...and he went to sit on the other side of the room.

Bro! I almost spit out my coffee laughing! I'm the same way! I don't like being talked to. I don't like people even talking about the game. I usually have to stand and drink or pace and drink. Then I get all whacked out when something ****ty happens. I'll take ball caps off, flip them upside down and prop them in front of the tv, or I'll go change my socks or shirt. I'll change what I'm drinking. I'll even tell my wife or kids or buddies they have to leave the room if the Saints start playing ****ty after they come down to watch.

It's so stupid!! My wife and kids think I'm ****in nuts man!

Bahahahahaha!!!
