I don’t detest Quido at all. I detest a multi million dollar organization that has brought my team to mediocrity, if even that.

A couple of things from the above article:

Before I go, if Saints football is a huge part of your life and how you bond with parents or family, I say to you being recklessly optimistic and possibly delusional about any upcoming Saints season is the way to live. You never know when the times you'll be able to call your mom, your dad or best friend after some absurd, preposterous Saints game won't be there for you. So take in those moments.

I'll never endorse or approve of the modern sports idea that “I have to root for the Saints to lose before the season starts because if the Saints aren't a serious Super Bowl contender they aren't worth watching.”

We look forward to Saints football all year and some of us are blessed to spend thousands of dollars to see them play in person. Why would I root for that experience to be terrible before it begins?

If I told you, “I've saved up for a dream vacation in Paris but I really hope the Eiffel Tower falls over. The French really need to get it together. A miserable vacation now means some vacation in the near or distant future will be better because Paris needs a rebuild.”

You'd look at me like I was cuckoo for coco puffs. Live for the now.

Ironic how the "Reasons to be Positive" thread lasted for exactly one, positive post.

Consider the negative source, '76.

Consider that the negative source is a failing front office, and tell your wallet to IGNORE them for awhile. Until then, you’d be wise to beef up your IGNORE button for me, because there WILL be pain.

See, I’m frustrated with my team for underperforming, while you’re frustrated with me for being frustrated.

I'm feeling positive about the O line.

I love my Saints and I'm here to defend them not tear them down.

ironic.... defending the indefensible.

Seriously? Don't you have any hope for the team? If not, why are you even here? Don't tell me that it's to interact with other fans for a meaningful discussion. I have seen Sinner be happy when the team played well and I'm hoping for more posts from him like in the old days. On the other hand, mapcow really doesn't seem to have anything positive to say about anything or anyone. Well, maybe his cow.....

No doubt the cow is the only thing that can tolerate the thing.
