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.

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.."

You are absolutely right. I have been wrong and have done this.

That still doesn't make it right to claim I care less about my Saints than someone who gets all angry and pissed off, does it?

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.

I didn't "label" anyone's reaction as "sad". I simply said it is sad that someone feels they have to forgo watching something they love. It is sad.

And I don't blow off any loss. I spend days thinking about how things could have worked out differently, replaying things in my mind. It's just the way I am wired. I am still bothered by each of our losses this season.

People handle grief and disappointment differently. You can have three children who all love their parent. The way they handle the grief can vary tremendously if that parent dies. One can become angry and mad at the world. Another can retreat into a shell. The other can process the grief while continuing to function. None of them has to love their late parent any less or any more than the other.
