First memory of being a saints fan

Belair57 · 01-14-2010, 08:14 PM

Everyone around us rooting for Joe Montana (I was 8 or 9) one night....and remembering how much I hated everyone rooting for them just because they were winning..and fell in love with underdogs as a whole, then we stank it up one year and its grown into a SERIOUS obsession ......For some stupid reason, the heartbreak over the years has made me even stronger and more of a diehard???????

My story is just as familiar except the QB everyone around me was cheering for was Terry Bradshaw. Didn't care that he was from Louisiana, he wasn't playing for the Saints. Boy was I pissed for a 10 yr old.

Similar to my story. 49er coats, Cowboy caps, whatever team won the last Superbowl. I loathe the bandwagon fans.

Conversely, I love the underdog. Rocky was my favorite movie as a child.

To my point, I suppose that my first memory as a Saints fan was a Blooper VHS video showing how bad the Saints organization had been. I remember a guy running across the field with a St. benard before a game and the dog cut in front of the guy causing them both to crash before reaching the sideline. That's when I decided to make the Saints my team and I love the decision I made as a child.

I don't know if this counts as a "memory" but my mom said when I was about 2 or 3, I would sit on my dad's lap and watch Saints games with him. And whenever they would score a TD, I would clap my hands and yell "who dat" Been a fan ever since!
