If anyone can be sympathetic to being crushed by this team, it's long time Saints fans. Those of you who are playing the "get the hell out card", you strike me as those who don't know what it's like to be destroyed by this team over and over again. If you've been a fan as long as I have, you understand the emotions those people are writing here and you also know that they'll be back and drinking the kool-aid again next year.

Which is exactly the point.....If you have been a fan as long as you state, you know how bad most of the years have been. We are 13-2, stinking it up like hell, but in the playoffs.... We still have a new season to play and as pissed as I am right now I will be in my same seat next week and for out first playoff game. I've damaged so many things over the year pulling for the Saints i'm surprised my parents did put me out when I was younger. With that said, I have cursed and said many other things BUT NEVER that I'm ready to move on....

No, the point is that by your description you've basically thrown temper tantrums over the Saints in years past - by definition doing things you wouldn't do or say under less emotional circumstances. They are doing the same thing right now. It's doesn't make you morally superior or a better fan just because you break crap instead of ranting and saying things you don't mean on a message board. Call them on it? Sure, but cut them some slack and recognize a kindred spirit. Only Saints fans have been through the ringer like this over the last 43 years.

From what I gathered he sounded pretty sure and calm. I never said nor thought that I was morally superior or a better fan(well after his post maybe a better fan.) Yes, while in my teenage years I've broken a few things, not out of rage, just not being aware of my surroundings. But to say you are done with this team, a team that still controls it own destiny, which is looking a little bleak right now, I just don't understand.

Temper tantrums.... That is the funniest post I have seen all year.... You are a better fan than he is... seriously.... you should have a jersey of your own, and the team should bring you out during introductions. You are by far the "better fan". maybe you should sing the national anthem next week. just because you have been through quote "hard times" doesn't mean you should come to expect it... And it certainly doesn't mean you should expect to get kicked in the face when you are finally standing on your own two feet. every man, or woman has his, or her breaking point when it comes to faith. faith only goes so far....
