If you noticed the year after the Saints won their first ever playoff game and after winning the division, they were given ONE Monday night football game. That was against the Rams and it was the start of the collapse for the Saints in the 2001 season. The Saints do not get much respect from the media, because they really haven\'t earned it. I made a post like this in one of my first ever posts in this forum. A few of the guys made me realize that the Saints have a lot of work to do to achieve that respect. Honestly, I like when the Saints don\'t get a whole lot of media attention, because they seem to play better. They don\'t have as much distraction and pressure to perform. You see what happened last year. 6-1 start and the hopes were high. People were talking Super Bowl. Then another collapse. They buckled under the pressure. I have a very strong feeling that this is the Saints year to gain some respect, if only a little. We\'ll just see when the season gets here.

People shouldn't be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people.
