Dang 626.. drop XM and pickup NFL Ticket. In that order.

My Neighbors look at me funny now. They just would not understand.

Fan is short for Fanatic. And Fanatic we are.

Thanks for your service ....

Same thing happened to me that weekend. What grind my gears was that FOX put the Cowboys game on when the Saints were headed for overtime. I had to run out to the car to listen to the rest. When it was over, I was yelling who dat at the top of my lungs. If the neighbors didn't know I was crazy before that, well now they know.

Your welcome. It was 15 years ago and I have not heard that in a log time. Well except for from my wife on veterans day...

That did not piss me off as much as the local FOX affiliate showing the Eagles Falcons game instead of the Saints Skins. WTF?.. I thought they would show the closest regional teams game...

Been a fan for a LOOOONG time - if we are throwing out names how Vaughn Dunbar??

How about this - If you are willing to (& have) get a Saints tatoo - The you are a real fan.

If I were to get a tatoo it would be something to do with the saints. However i am not one for tatoos.

A Fleur-De-Lis at 38 would look like a wounded duck at 78.

To our newer Brethren browsing this thread:

Obviously there are a lot of "old timers" who are throwin' their tenure around for kicks... Obviously, if you are 20 years old, you probably don't know who Carl Smith was

, or knew that Bum Phillips once coached the Saints, heck, you don't have an idea who Bum Phillips is... the reality is, you know when you are a "real fan", and we know when you aren't

My intent was not to name drop. I actually hunted with him. My father was a Saints fan also. Probably the biggest Kenny Stabler fan that ever lived. Never knew why he liked "The Snake".

ROFLMAO. Speaking of Brooks do you miss him?
