I dont know why everyone is upset because they feel like the Saints are disrespected. In order to earn respect you have to have consistency for an extended period of time. This team has not shown consistency to be good year over year since its inception. Respect is earned. This has been and continues to be a magical season. 2006 was an amazing season. Then two mediocre seasons in between. I was born at Lakeside hospital in Metarie in July of 1977. My family have been season ticket holders since 1975. We have seen many horrible seasons, and a couple of magical ones. Once the Saints can show they are contenders year after year they will earn the respect. Until then who cares what the national feeling is about us. We know what this team is about.
