Re: AINTS are back!!!
To be honest: The Aints Bag Era was when I became a fan of the team I love. I figured, hell, if Saints fans could STILL show up to the game, as bad as they were, even with bags on their heads in protest... THOSE are truly diehard fans! I really didn't see fatalism... I see passion!
I've seen fake fans for other franchises ("America's Team" comes to mind) who disappear when they're trying to right the ship. Even though I hate listening to it, those that b!t@# & moan but still ride out the storm, still have my respect. My two sheckles. |
A wise man once said, "Poo-poo smells just as bad as s#!%. One just SOUNDS cuter!"

Re: AINTS are back!!!
The whole head baggers deal was grossly over-hyped. There were fewer than 200 or 300 "fans" that wore the bags over a small of a handful of games just hoping to get shown in the TV highlights. Most of them never even understood the meaning of the protest started by Buddy Diliberto.

Re: AINTS are back!!!
No. Of course not. I am relaying what I have heard and read over the years about those isolated events. But, yes, in some accounts it was specifically stated that they didn't understand what they were "protesting" at the time, but just did it for the moment. Due to my love of my Saints and my love for research I have spent a great deal of time delving into our history whenever possible.

Re: AINTS are back!!!
We ARE riding the storm. Our ship is not looking sea-worthy. The crew looks uninspired. The captain has no fire. The prevailing winds “just keep doing what they’re doing”.

I see people b**tching, and rightfully so, but nobody is leaving here…that’s riding out the storm to me. Speaking of leaving, if that’s your issue you should go and find a site where nobody complains or look at things with their dung covered glasses and it’s all positive vibes even in the midst of a poor product being put out by their team…oh wait! My bad, it doesn’t exist. |
