There are two types of fans... I'll begin with the gripers. These are the ones that are the most vocal on sports radio. The "they'll never be good and I'm giving up on them" type. If you listened to Buddy Deliberto, you know who I mean. The Saints would lose and Sunday's drive home talk would be, "They are absolutely horrible. They should fire the coach, quarterback... they should fire the water boy and even the fans in the first row!" Funny part is... these fans said it every year, but every year they'd be back in the 'dome, ready to gripe all over again.

Then there's the "love em no matter what" fans like me. If the Saints were competitive and when the game was over I didn't feel like I watched the Globetrotters beat Washington while I was rooting for Washington... well, I was happy. If we won a game, I was elated for at LEAST a week. And I knew however bad they were, however bleak their future looked, I'd still be a loyal fan for life. And trust me, most of New Orleans feels this way about them.

If we don't win it all this year, and we have to wait another few decades to make it this far again, I guarantee you, those of us life-long fans, the love to hate and the love to love fans, we'll all be there rooting our Boys on, until the Saints are marching in.

Geaux Saints!
