Ashamed to call myself a Saints fan.......

I think Sapper meant he was ashamed he didn't know the origin of his favorite team's colors, and not of what they mean.

Sapper, if it makes you feel better, I didn't know it either

Thanks Tobias, and Joe. That is exactly what I meant.

Guys, I love oil. If it wasn't for oil, I couldn't drive my Jepp and fourwheeler.

I didn't know that either. Come to think of it, that didn't even cross my mind.

If that's aimed at me........no problem. I'm thick skinned.

This will be the last time I say this.

I AM ASHAMED THAT I DID NOT KNOW WHY OUR COLORS WERE BLACK AND GOLD.

NOT THAT I AM ASHAMED BECAUSE IT IS IN REFERENCE TO OIL.

No big deal Missle. I just don't want people thinking I'm a tree-hugger hippie type.

I know what the oil companies did for LA. My uncle works for them, and has for as long as I can remember.

READ THE WHOLE THING GUYS.

are we really trusting info from wikipedia?

do you guys realize that ANYONE can edit wiki and thus it has virtually no credibility?!

im not saying that the team colors didnt come from the cities ties to oil, but i want to see it from a credible source before i believe it.

Totally agree that Wikipedia is NOT a credible source for information.
