It means there are people who care more about the team and their games mean more to them than they do to you.

I don't know if the NFL wants to choke out the New Orleans fans and move the team to a bigger market or if the NFL hates the team and it's fanbase. I do know that the missed calls and phantom calls don't endear me to the NFL. And now, the team will take a 10 hour flight to New Orleans from London (a home game) and fly 7 hours to Seattle for their next game.


Maybe it's nothing, but it it sure feels like something.

No. I believe dizzle nailed it. Each of us process things differently. The team and the games mean a great deal to me. Most likely far too much. We basically plan our lives around Saints games. Heck, it determines when and where we vacation. Voluntarily NOT watching my Saints play would be agonizing. Far more so than if they lose a game.

You plan your week around the NFL. You admittedly watch multiple games and listen to the media propaganda seemingly constantly. That’s different than some fans that might be Saints obsessed. If someone’s takes a Saints loss to heart and let’s it bother them for the day while you shake it off then that is proof the game itself meant more.

You don't tell me how I feel and what things mean to me. Where do you get off doing that?

Just like dizzle pointed out, people process things differently. One's personal reaction doesn't have anything to do with what something means to that person. That is extremely shallow.

We plan our year around the Saints. We plan our week around the Saints. I don't plan anything "around the NFL". If other games are on and I have nothing better to do I watch them. Yesterday after the Saints game my wife and I went out and enjoyed our pool for the remainder of the day. It was the last day we'll be able to utilize the pool most likely since we'll be gone to Saints games or on a cruise the next four weeks.

L O L of the Year.

Guido, you do realize you're constantly telling members here how they should feel. You see that, right?

All the... "I just don't let it bother me" "I just let the 'experts' decide" "we'll the players say it's ok so you shouldn't challenge them.."

But it’s all good if you label someone else’s reaction to a Saints loss as “Sad”, isn’t it Guido.

GTFO with your “don’t tell me how I feel” Sanctimonious BS. I stand by the statement. If someone is able to easily blow off a Saints loss while someone else says it brings them into a form of depression then YES the game meant more to the person in depression.
