After further review, little peeved over bandwagon...
... I know I shouldn't be, I thought I wouldn't care,maybe I should be happy about it, but during my annual Disney trip, I saw more new Saints gear walking around the Magic Kingdom than you'll see in the B&G shop. There was a sea of 9s and 25s everywhere...even saw people swimming in the pool with Saints gear on; and honestly, it kind of felt wrong. I usually see Who Dats here and there, but this year, I saw hundreds of people with new Saints gear. I usually don't walk around with much gear, maybe a hat or worn out B&G sweatshirt...of course, the faded Fleur-De-Lis tattooed on my left hand between my wrist, index finger and thumb is there for everyone to see that I was branded B&G long time ago, before tattoos became the accessory fad they are now.
..anyway, just a little peeved WHO DAT! |

I went during the Summer time and was surprised to see a lot of Saints gear. Most of the people I talked to came from England and are huge Saints fans.

Re: After further review, little peeved over bandwagon...
Yeah...here in Japan I'm seeing it, too. Makes me sick...these folks swoop in here after my +30 years of sheer agony to capitalize on the media frenzy. These are the same folks that if the Browns or the Lions both go 10-0 they'll be the first to throw ol' #9 or ol' #25 to the back of the closet. But if they'll make the Dome that much louder, I suppose it's alright. Just don't expect to see them next year if we lose a game or two.

i did a clinical rotation last month for a place and the first thing someone decided to ask the me was "so how long have you been rooting for the saints?" that stuff seriously pisses me off.

Re: After further review, little peeved over bandwagon...
I caught the other end of the bandwagon last week.
I went to work with my Saints windbreaker on (as I often do) and got on the elevator with some dude I didn't know. He took one look at my coat and said "Great year to be an Aint's fan, huh?" After the urge to pummel him passed, I responded that I had been a Saints fan for MANY years and we were having a great season. Turns out said dude was from Shreveport - no doubt one of those displaced Cowgirls fans... |
