Oh well.......maybe we'll start winning and you'll start enjoying the boys again. Regardless. Who Dat!

Been a Saint fan since watching Billy Kilmer was under center.... hell of a lot longer than any of you....

I just call it like i see it... I like winners, not losers. Probably hard for you to understand, and that is okay.

Not longer than me. Been here since day one. Since Spring of '67 at 9 years-old when my dad was transferred via the USAF to Louisiana. Personally, I like my Saints whatever their record might be. Always have and always will. Probably hard for a fair-weather "fan" to understand, and that's okay.

As i was at 7 years of age...born right here in Louisiana....Opelousas. I like them too, but call it like i see it... Winners like to win.

I like to win, as well. But that doesn't mean I feel compelled to spread hatred toward the team if things aren't going great. It is what it is and there is nothing you or I, or for that matter what any fan can do to change matters so I choose to stay positive and hope for the best.

Being an optimist and a realist are not mutually exclusive. An optimist looks for a positive outcome and a realist understands when those outcomes are totally outside of their own personal control. I realistically know what I can and cannot affect personally and yet I choose to look at things in a positive manner.

I question your reality when it comes to your approach. You are clearly pessimistic, but do you feel you have any control whatsoever on any outcome? If so, you are not realistic. If not, what good does your pessimism and negativity contribute to any success?

I can’t speak for him or anyone else, but when my team continues to stink up the dome, boos go a long way. Outside of the stadium, grown men calling a spade a spade, is REALISM.

...so... now you are a psychiatrist. No Pessimism here, just reality.... I know when my coach rode my ass because of poor play or attitude, things changed on the outcome....as a result, I won Louisiana state championship, 1979 (trust me, i have the documentation and awards to prove)
... can you relate, maybe so,... doubt it. Again... get over yourself and accept this team is NOT performing to what YOU should be expecting ... WINNING... with that.. i take a toke and hope you don't choke...

to the point... we both want the Saints to win... your way is apathy and wishing... mine is expectation and demand; especially when money is involved.... huge difference.
