On all my vehicles I have a at least one Saints sticker. Driving in DC one day stuck in traffic due to road work and this huge dude appears at my window. Scared the Hell out of me but when I looked up at him he was wearing a Saints hard hat. At the time it was Jackson, Swilling and Mills that we briefly talked about. As the lane opened up he said to me hey man "You'll Never Walk Alone". Through all the years I have never forgotten that. Heres a guy working on a road crew in Redskin territory with A Saints hard-hat.

That's awesome man. I think fans from other teams misunderstand Saints fans and their loyalties. Also, why we feel so passionate about the losing of (moving) etc. of a team that is not the winningest organization.

The New Orleans Saints are as much a culture, a lifestyle and represent a way of life as they are a football team.

It's our way. We even have fans who are not from here or have ever been here (ask members here like Cantonlegend).

Anyway, thanks for sharing this!
