A bad Saints game is better than no game at all. I know this because I now live in Houston and rarely get to watch the game. I had to sit in my drive way when they played the Skins in OT listening to XM in the rain.

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

Fan is short for Fanatic. And Fanatic we are.

Did you call into wwl (Bobby and Deke) after the game? If not someone else in Houston did the same thing.

No I didnt.

I also spent the entire 2006/2007 season watching nfl.com automated game from a Motel room in Nigeria.

Is there any way to see the games via internet?

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...

Yeah I hear ya, that pissed me off too. Fox 26 showed the Rams game so I would of thought they would of shown the Redskins game .... way to piss off your viewing audience, the media here in Houston just don't get it
