Well, I mean, people can cheer for the same team and have different opinions about stuff. I personally like Reggie but know he's not without some criticism. Of first round draft picks he's a rare player who actually has contributed to the team.

Having said that, this site is just not into "mafias", coalitions or whatever. We're Saints fans. Welcome aboard.

I want Reggie to do well, to be great. I loved his performance in the Rams game. If not for injuries, I think he'd be one of the impact players in the league. See, that's the funny thing. I don't think there really are very many Reggie "haters" out there. The key is for people to be able to speak their mind as long as they keep what they're saying in the bounds of decency and not be attacked unnecessarily and irrationally.

I am a new member also. Just joined a few weeks ago.

I grew up in New Orleans and now I live in Virginia. Not a ton of people who are die-hard Saints fans up here, but lots of folks seem to be rooting for them this year. I've been handing out mardi gras beads when I have folks over for the games. A little bribery never seems to hurt.
